Champ Carl Froch Bute Rematch clause 1. Vacant 2. Adonis Stevenson - Mando Title eliminator fight 3. Edwin Rodriguez - Dibella says no 4. Arthur Abraham- hiding in germany 5. Thomas Oosthuizen- Dibella doesnt want fight 6. James Degale- Wont come overseas 7. Kelly Pavlik- Should jump at the chance if it plays out this way This is Kelly Pavliks Chance my friends. Adonis Would be a "Step Up" that he needs. A very Winnable fight for The Ghost!
I think Pavlik was mentioned as an opponent for Degale before. If Pavlik wants to make himself more known over here (which would increase interest in a Froch fight) he should do so by taking on Degale Winner gets Froch
true, but the point is to show the Title Eliminator possiblity! Adonis vs ??? we dont know yet And if it goes the way its sounding, everyone will turn the fight down that is ranked higher the Kelly. Adonis vs Kelly for #1 Contender spot!
Pavlik might not even have to do the whole mandatory thing to get his shot. . He's got a big enough name, and a powerful enough promotor as is. . . He brings enough to the table finance-wise to be a "mandatory defense" type deal. . .
Degale does travel. He went to Denmark on someone else's promotion; to defend his Euro title against a former world champion. He won KO4. He'd beat Stevenson.
Pavlik could try to get Dirrell, AA, Oosthuzien. If he could win then go campaign for a Froch fight if thats what he wants.
Vacant is a badass. Nobody beats Vacant. Nobody. P4P number 2 is TBA. No blueprint on how to beat TBA.
