    While the IBF reportedly ask Pavlik to meet the sanctioning body’s No. 2 contender, Adonis Stevenson (18-1, 15 KOs), in an eliminator bout on Aug. 11, Dunkin said he is eyeing bouts on a larger scale.
    “A big fight. I’ve been called this week by a representative of [Carl] Froch, [Lucian] Bute and [Mikkel] Kessler. Which of the three do you want after this?” Dunkin said.


    Who knows. Some of that might actually be true. This was pre-fight.

    Low risk, "high" reward. That's why.

    Bedard from interbox was in Las Vegas for Kelly's bout,i think they want to lure Kelly in Montreal so Sven Buttke ko him and rise again.

    Bute makes all the sense in the world for both guys.

    Not sure why Bute would want another puncher at this point. No evidence he could KO Kelly. Maybe it is Bute that is being cashed out? :think

    Eddie Hearn said this week that Pavlik is a very distant option for Froch.

    Should pick Bute, Butes confidence is on a low Froch and Kessler's are on a high as they both just ko'd guys, think Pavlik would stop Bute, Bute doesn't know what do when gettin hit lol

    Pavlik isn't relevant at the world stage right now. He still has some name value but a fight with Kessler or Froch will mean him taking a small percentage of the money. He doesn't deserve more, nor does he have the leverage to fight either Froch or Kessler outside of Britain and Denmark.

    A Bute fight is more realistic due to the Froch fight. I doubt Bute's people would want it right away though.

    I can't see Top Rank rushing Pavlik either. This is just hot air.

    I'm hearing the honeymoon is over in Montreal, especially since Bute went 'home' to Romania to lick his wounds.
