    :huh My take Sturm just might be the tougher foe Pavlik then Abraham:deal It would great if Pavlik fights Rubio,Sturm, Abraham and the Winner of Williams vs Wright in a row :happyBut I just know that some how someone is going face a stripped for not fighting number one contenders Zibk, Mundine and winner of Lorenzo vs Maranda:patsch

    Pavlik just needs Abraham than he can go at 68.

    Sturm might be a tougher matchup for him stylistically but id much rather see him fight Abraham. Id be pretty dissapointed if Pavlik were to fight Sturm. PAvlik/Abraham is a fight that must happen in the MW division, anything else would be criminal.

    Id pick Abraham to knock pavlik out cold.

    Strum needs to grow some balls and fight Pavlik or Abraham. The last time I've heard of Sturm he refused to fight Abraham right there in his home turf . . . Germany.

    Strum is a pathetic paper chump.:deal

    It should be Pavlik vs Abraham next. A unification.

    I highly doubt Sturm will fight him...Isnt he part of the same Sauerland , wba, valuev circuit that keeps belts in a lockbox?
    Its gonna be abraham, and its gonna be TKO

    Sturm vs Pavlik is a nice build up to Abraham vs Pavlik. Abraham will be out classed and stopped like Lockett was :yep

    I think KP is in a difficult sitauation. For legacy purposes he should fight the winner of Williams/Wright, then Sturm, and then Abraham before the end of '09. If Top Rank can make those matches in that order, all along the way people will scream about Pavlik ducking Abraham.

    If Pavlik/Abraham happens first, no one will care about those other fights. That would leave Pav with only 3 good wins at 160: Miranda, Taylor, and Abraham. That's not much of a legacy.

    Abraham won't take 3 knees in 3 rounds, but he will be overmatched, outclassed, outgunned, and put to sleep.

    Why do some of you think Sturm would be a bad style match up for Kelly? I think AA is a worse style match up for him. I think he takes care of Sturm with ease.

    Thats why I think Pavlik should wait a little while taking on King Athur the Public screaming for fight by end of year will make it a superfight

    SUPERFIGHT: that is exactly what Arum wants. He wants to build the thing into a Boxing Event rather than just a fight hardcore fans want to see.

    I guessed Mundine was promised a title shot at middle when he vacated for Kessler. Someone just posted he is now #1 WBA contender. NOW it is a little clearer why Sturm is suddenly willing to talk to Pavlik.

    Better for Sturm to loss to Pavlik for a lot money then Mundine for less. I really think Abraham is made to order for Pavlik true Athur hits like mule but he is short at has a low work rate:deal
