You see alot of those started by HATERS!!! They start those so everybody will chime in and be like "oh, Pavlik will be dead by the first round". over and over. Do you really think real Pavlik fans start those ****in threads.
Ok, I see where you're going with this. And Im gonna agree with you, but I just hate when ppl over do it & overhype fighters, thats what makes me dislike fighters. But Pav vs Rubio really isnt good for the MW division, & Cotto vs Jennings is defeinetely not good. & PBF has jumped more weight claasses thaN Pav just for the record.
Pav is a mandatory and Cotto for a title. Geez.... I better NEVER see you in a thread spouting UNIFICATION. :deal
Cotto vs Clottey would also be a title shot. Cotto vs AM 2 would also be a title shot. If PW would've stayed at 147 and kept the WBO, would Cotto still be fighting for a title?
I don't make the rules. As far as I am concerned, you can shove the ABC's, unifications, all of it. The fact is, belts still have commercial value. Hell, Cotto was forced into this fight by Arum. Told him to take it or sit out till the Margo rematch.
Thats how I feel also. And yes, I know he was forced to take this fight or just go on vacation til the rematch. But even if it were up to Cotto, he wouldnt have fought PW for the belt
PBF p4p #1, sure fire hof'er, most likely (IMO surely) ATG. Pavlik, one defense of his first title. Not even top 10 p4p. Now I believe you have all you've set our for. Cool?
There is another thread on how "FMJ" ducked Margarito. You could check it out. I think Pavlik is a step too far even for Floyd.
I've said it before. If Floyd thought he could do what his fans seem to think, he would have called Pavlik out. Gone for that title.
