Pavlik/Abraham Is Still On The Table.

keep in mind this is the same kelly pavlik that blamed his loss on having a "fever" when he got his ass handed to him by the old man hopkins.......I lost so much respect for pavlik after that......I would understand if he won a couple rounds and atleast looked competitive but he didnt.....hopkins exposed pavlik.......sure that was bernard hopkins, the phenom......but I think it showed guys with good defense and polished skills hang L's on Pavlik all-day long.........

Abraham for YEARS!!!! has been wanting a fight with Pavlik, its documented, but once he started having weight issues pavlik wants to fight? What was his excuse back then "I had fevers".....

I'm still skeptical about pavlik at 168, like hopkins said afterwards, "pavlik is great middleweight, but he is not a 168 fighter".....pavlik uses his size advantage and power to beat guys....his "skills" are just average....guys at 168 nuetralize his size......pavlik is cooked

 

Hopkins is a master at taking away what a fighter does best, if you cant go to plan B you wont beat Hopkins even at his age. Pavlik is not active enough to deal with Hopkins, he allowed Hopkins to fight at his pace. with that being said, I dont think that it has any effect on how a Pavlik fight would look vs other fighters that arent as good at taking the other guys best stuff away. You have to outwork Hopkins, like Taylor, and Calzaghe did.

 

Froch is hittable but is a legit SMW, packs a punch and obviously has heart. He'd push either KP or AA to their limit.

Kessler would beat Pavlik easily. He's quicker, sharper, with far superior footwork. Kessler was able to best even a near-peak, highly motivated Calzaghe in a conventional boxing match, so it wasn't until Calzaghe started giving him distance and angles -- something Pavlik obviously cannot do -- that he gained the advantage.

I'd favor Pavlik over Andrade, but Andrade would be a live dog. He wouldn't get pushed around and has a proven chin and power.

Bute would be favored over Pavlik. He's too skilled for him, IMO. And Pavlik would have next to no chance of handling Dawson, who might even knock him out.

 

Just like how a lot said miranda would spark out abraham as well.....

 

Did not Rubio who was not even punching or fighting back last 8 or 9?:huh

 

Your nuthuggery of Pavlik is getting out of hand, totally. As Abraham has soft touches in his record, Pavlik has his share as well if not more. Let's take a look at their major wins and compare, you make it sound with your bull**** like Pavlik is an established ATG with your laughable comparisons.

Pavlik's top opponents:

Miranda
Taylor x2

Abraham

Ikeke
Miranda x2
Eastman

And Abraham didn't need as many fights as Pavlik needed to finally step up. The point here is simple and your theories mean nothing, Arum said publicly that they don't want the fight because Abraham is NOT POPULAR ENOUGH IN THE STATES, they didn't bother to mention all the money theories you're starting. Now that the man announces he's moving up because he has weight issues Abraham is all of a sudden a superstar in the USA and they're open to negotiate. What's more pathetic is you're backing that up and going far enough to say Abraham is ducking him if it doesn't happen.

You also fail to remember that it was Abraham who was supposed to fight Taylor rather than Pavlik after his first meeting with Miranda and what put things on halt is Abraham's jaw injury after that fight as he was forced to take time off after the surgery and forced by the IBF to take an easy opponent(Demers) before stepping up again. Pavlik too his spot then, fought Miranda and the rest is history. Otherwise it was supposed to be a rematch between Abraham/Miranda.

 

I'd like them to sign the fight to see it happen. I assure you the one who does a belly dance after taking a shot as proven already is Pavlik and not Abraham, that's why Arum doesn't approve of Abraham but approves of feather fisted Sturm.

 

Boo regards Zuniga, Zertuche world class, don't forget them.

 

Both fighters are garbage and I have the fights with me, especially Zuniga. I can guess why he would rate Zuniga world class, after all that guy had what it takes to score a knockdown against Pavlik.

If he's considering an ancient McKart(who in his prime is a journeyman quality fighter anyway) an opponent worth fighting for Abraham then you know someone's nuthugging is going to realms we have never seen before.

 

I've had my issues with boo in the past, it is cordial now, BUT, MCKART, ZUNIGA and ZERTUCH are ALWAYS considered by him to be better fighters then a gevor or marquez. I am not saying they are or not, just that Boo holds the above mentioned in most of his posts when comparing both fighters resumes.

 

All these guys fall in the same category, it's not like the Middleweight division had any better anyway and Boo will most definitely support the guys Pavlik made a career feasting on so let's put what Boo thinks aside.

Marquez is a legitimate opponent compared to all guys in the list there as it was supposed to be Lorenzo who was highly regarded and Marquez beat him.
