    If that's the case, than one has to wonder what Leow means by "big." Who do you think it is

    The only "big fight" that would be available imo is PTP. Anything less wouldn't constitute the hype. I guess we'll see what Jack Leow views as a big fight in the coming days.

    I have a strange feeling that it might be Pavlik vs Mosley? It be a big surprise and it be kind of a big fight cause Mosley is a name fighter. But honestly i sure hope it's Pavlik vs Williams.

    Trinidad is who I was just thinking of as a possibility. Boy would he get his ass kicked by KP. But it would be a fun fight.

    Mosley moving up to MW-that would be a huge leap.

    Recently I've started to take the idea that Mosley would move up for Pav a little more seriously. My desire is to see Pavlik-PTP but this would be an interesting consolation prize.

    Why not I guess. A fight at MSG would be huge. People would huff and puff about Tito getting an undeserved title shot but I say let's get it on. :bbb

    HBO is backing Paul now. They have his bio on their website. They just gave Pavlik a 3 fight deal. So, maybe they told Arum and Goosen to quick pissin' down each others legs, and make the damn fight!

    People like to hack on KP for Lockett and Rubio, but those were mandatories. The kid actually has zero history of looking for soft touches. So, Leow said it's "big," and it is somebody Kelly picked himself. Out of the fighters who are actually available, or might become available if the money was right, 3 names come to my mind. 1) Kelly has lost his damn mind and persuaded BHop to give him a rematch; 2) Calzaghe is coming back; 3) Arum and Goosen cut out the bull**** and made a Pavlik/Williams fight.

    Pavlik/Williams seems most likely of the 3.
