    It's not on a word doc. I've just got it posted so many times, it's REAL easy to find:yep

    However, I don't expect many people to be affected by something as obvious as the truth.

    I don't think Froch, Kessler etc would have waited on Abraham fighting Pavlik before they started their tournament and Abraham has moved up to take part in it. Seems fair enough to me that he should take 3 fights gurenteed against pretty big names instead of waiting an unspecified length of time to fight Pavlik, especially if 168 is a better natural weight for him.

    Are you saying Pavlik would have fought him if he wasn't moving up? If so when?

    I think Pavlik would have beat Abraham but I still think AA was the best opponent out there for him at MW, despite how dodgy AA's previous opponents have been. It's not like the division is loaded with talent for either of them to fight. I don't know if you watched Zbik-Spada on Saturday but after it I was thinking it was a shame BennyJ hasn't been posting for a while or we could have had a Gary Lockett vs Sebastian Zbik thread which would be a good match up. He'll probably be fighting Pavlik soon; MW is a ****ing joke just now, that's not Pavliks fault but it does make it harder to fathom why Arum wanted to **** around so long.

    Ya -- right -- a guy who went the distance with Raymond Joval and Kassim Ouma's left overs is gonna "kill Pavlik." I'm sure that in some alternate universe that theory makes sense.

    Consdering that Pavlik nor Arum made no attempt to fight Arthur, I would say yes.
