Germany's Arthur Abraham demolished Edison Miranda Saturday proving he's more than a soft European who won't fight anyone.
As a fight fan, I'd rather see Kelly Pavlik fight Abraham rather than Joe Calzaghe so we can be one step closer to a unified middleweight title.
Speaking of Calzaghe, Mikkel Kessler won a vacated super middleweight title Saturday as well. Kessler's only loss is to Calzaghe so Joe gained some bonus points and moved up one spot. Here are the updated No. 40-49 and No. 80-89 standings.

A unified title is cool, but I don't want to miss the boat on a Pavlik-Calzghe match up. That could be a great, great fight. They are both action fighters.
