    I think that after Oscar beats Manny he should fight Pavlik as his last fight. The only way I see this happening is if Sturm and Abraham fight each other, and Pavlik fights the winner and wins. Then Pavlik would have all 4 belts. I know that Pavlik would obviously be a big favorite to win but at least Oscar might do it if HBO markets Pavlik correctly. Even if Oscar loses he would gain a lot of respect.

    The only way you should see it happening is in your, and other boxing fans', fantasies.

    It will not happen.

    DLH gets past Pacquiao, and fights Hatton next year, or maybe a rematch with Mayweather. Cotto, Margarito, Chavez Jr, are all way higher on his list than the middleweight (and a big MW) Kelly Pavlik.

    I think losing badly against hopkins has hurt those chances. Oscar is not a middleweight, anyway.

    Pavlik would get a nice payday at least haha.... I am not a huge ODLH Fan ( especially as of late) , but I don't want to see Pavlik Retire him. No way he lasts 12 rounds with Pavlik

    oscar is more likely to fight hatton

    There is more money for it in him, Hatton is an easier fight and Hatton also just came off a win.


    Oscar is all about the money fights these days. Cotto had a good chance but he ****ed up on the Margo fight and needs a good win to make an oscar matchup more marketable

    You just lost all credibility as a serious, objective poster.

    Oscar will never fight Pavlik. Period.
