    "The guy" is the current IBF middleweight champion of the world and unbeaten...he would've earned the fight and - on the other hand - Pav should be eager to unify.

    I'd like the Abraham match up. I think Rubio was actually a good setup for that fight if you watch what he was doing.

    Belts and titles are bargaining chips. Little more now days. Ask Froch.

    If Paul wins I would still want to see the fight. I think it would be a very exciting fight with two guys with a high workrate. With that said my preference would be Abraham because this fight should have happend last year to be honest.

    Pavlik's weight motivation has delayed his move up. His dedication to his title has helped with the weight issue, for now. Early on he couldn't have a press conference without making it sound like he only had a fight or two left. Last I heard was something like he is getting older and not getting any taller so will have to grow 'out' eventually.

    They could fight at 160 or 168. I expect to see both guys at SMW in 2010.

    Yeah I've only seen a few clips of the fight and not the whole fight yet. If he looked like Abraham then that's good for the Ghost.

    How tall is Abraham 5'9 or 5'8? He'll be short as hell at 168.

    5'9" but one way or another, he has to go to 168. During his last training camp, he got so sick due to trying to lose weight.

    I sort of agree, but not fully.

    If Winky wins, I'd like to see KP fight Winky, Abraham, and Sturm. Winky first because it's probably a now or never situation, and KP has wanted Winky for YEARS.

    If Williams wins, give us Abraham and Sturm, and Paul needs to just get in line.

    Pavlik didn't looked that good against Rubio he fought a fighter that he should have taken out ealry but couldn't do it.:verysad

    A.A will knock him the **** out:deal Pavlik should stick around fighting smaller fighter's or at least fight the winner of Williams vs Wright.

    Let me ask you this. Are you against a Williams fight because you don't think he's a big enough name? Or you just don't rate him highly? Or you think that if Kelly wins he'll get no credit?

    Wow, you're being very unfair. If PW wins, just get in line???
