Abraham is perfect for Pavlik. I have always though that this would be a good fight at 160. The aftermath will lead to Froch vs Pavlik.
Great fight, I've always maintained that KP would kick AA ass. The fight would go down as a much better version of Nathan cleverly vs Karo murat. Make it happen.
AA has nothing Kelly wants right now. Notice AA didn't make an offer? He priced himself out before thinking Kelly was some sorta cash cow and he still seems to think Kelly has money to throw at him. atsch
If that was the case why didn't Pavlik cash out against Bute. Its because he does not want to cash out. That is why he went into one of his rages and pulled out of the Cunningham fight was because he thought Top Rank wanted him to cash out.
That was before he realized that it really is time for him to cash out. Now that he is sober, reality has set in.
It's funny how Hermit talks about fighters pricing themselves out of fights when we know what Pavlik did against a certain Lucian Bute. :roll::roll:
This is another big fight Arum denied us for years. I even remember that old ******* proclaiming is was a "done" deal at one point. Both guys needs to win a few more fights and then do it. I figure Kelly would win a decision.
If Pavlik wanted to cash out he would not have moved to the west coast, switched trainers, quit drinking, left his wife and kids to live in a hotel in Oxnard. He could of cashed out and done things how he had been doing them for years.
Abraham obviously doesn't want the fight as much as he says. Couldn't. Lame him with the ass kicking he will get. However he should take/offer pablum a fight be wise they're both at a cross roads right now and need to re establish themselves as at one point they were both considered unbeatable. Both have nothing to lose by fighting each other now not a clean record. Nothing.
