Pavlik is calling out Froch which is a fight i could be interested in seeing. But first Pavlik must prove he belongs at the elite level, beating Bika would be proof enough, but could he do it?
Bika is a clear top 10 smw, but one dirty-ass fighter. It would be a good test. I think he should fight a Bika,Dirrell or even Abraham and then go for the fight he clearly wants, if he could beat any of those guys.
afaik, Bute was the only fighter to ever look good against Bika. Ward didn't; Calzaghe didn't. Bika is better than people want to believe, and he's tough as they come. I'd have him mopping the floor with Pavlik after the 8th round.
Good crossroads bout. Winner takes a left down Contention Boulevard while the loser turns onto Gatekeeper Ave.
The thing with all 3 of those names you mentioned is that none of which are big draws anymore and all have the potentiol to beat Pavlik Abraham although crude still has enough power to wobble someone like Froch Dirrell has enough speed to outpoint and even but a beating on Pavlik Bika is a tough fighter who is a handfull for anyone If Pavlik fights the usual bums he has been beating up on then he gets a big payday with Froch If Pavlik fights one of the formentioned fighters although they would generate more cash than any bum, they would risk losing a fight with Froch Dont forget whose pulling the strings behind the curtain :hey
He'll headbutt Pavlik, elbow a little, land some good shots but I think Pavlik in the end wins, He's the better fighter.
I'll go for a pavlik UD but by no means is this a certainty. Bika is as said above a much better fighter than he's credited as.
Yeah, we've already seen Pavlik gut it out and force his imprint on a fight made ugly by an awkward style (Alfonso Lopez)
Well he can't just keeping on fighting bums. He is not going to get Froch this year, b/c of Bute and Kessler. Those guys are the top 10, and I would think he would be more willing to fight them than Oostuhizen or Groves. Maybe Stevenson though. I just don't think he can get Froch unless he beats a top guy in the division.
Yea, Pavlik looked terrible, but he looked better in last bout, We'll see with Sigmon, I know Sigmons a bum but still you could tell in Pavliks last bout, Just looked a lot better. In all fairness I think Bika is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better then Lopez, Who got outboxed by Davis who Bika just destroyed, And then Lopez lost to this 3-6 ****** Williams...
Sigmon is the LAST BUM. Next fight will be someone we know. I like how Garcia and Dunkin are handling Pavlik's progression.!
True, only brought him up to cite that Pavlik can stay true to his game plan even when confronted with a really pain in the ass awkward style. :good I think Bika might even KO El Tigre.
