    Which is why we will only see it happen when one of them is on their way out the door, and Bobfather is cashing out.

    Ok good for him. He should not mess with Bute again. I hope he learned his lesson.

    I'd like to see Pavlik stay at middle if I was his fan. He has a lot of options there, is a top contender and SMW is a hard division. LMW is a good division too, a lot of guys may move up.

    Obviously Arum will not allow this to happen. I would prefer seeing Pavlik fight Zbik first.

    Yeah, I saw an interview with Pavlik some days ago and he was not impressed at all with Chavez. Pavlik would love to mop the floor with him from what I gathered.

    It could be a good tune-up. Kelly needs to re-establish himself. Why not take on a fighter who is technically sound but lacks pop? As a Pavlik fan, I like this as a first fight back.

    Pavlik knows deeply in his heart that he can't beat those tough guys at 168 and this is the reason why he's going down to 160 again. No future!

    Big $$$ + not really a great fighter = getting called out

    I'm not so sure. Unless Pavlik looks good and has made a genuine comeback and still has the skills and power I think JCCJR could beat him.

    The question is how much as KP got left.

    Margarito or Mayorga or Cintron are some good names for a tune-up.

    this all depends on kelly making 160 and being healthy. they said they will go to 168 if they can't make 160. i'm not even sure garcia was thinking 160 until pavlik showed up only weighing 175.

    if he can make 160 and be as effective as he was back then...junior would get a bad beating. like broken down and left for dead beating. i don't see arum doing this before jcc faces canelo. way more money to be made there and chavez has a much better chance.
