    I don´t know why he wastes his time with facing only bums and 2nd-raters,, he´s really talented, he reminds me on Erdei, so to speak the Sauerland- Erdei...

    Yeah but he's had 3 stay busy fights in a row. I think pressure needs to be put on him and Pavlik for a unification fight.

    IBF middleweight ratings for October:

    1 NOT RATED 2 NOT RATED
    3 Sebastian Sylvester 4 Giovanni Lorenzo 5 Jermain Taylor 6 Ronald Wright 7 Sam Soliman 8 Amin Asikainen 9 Khoren Gevor 10 Fulgencio Zuniga 11 Javier Castillejo 12 Wayne Elcock 13 John Duddy 14 Gary Lockett 15 Mahir Oral

    Who out of these would have been a better AND still realistic choice for a voluntary defense in Switzerland?

    Elcock isn't in the same class as Abraham and I reckon Abraham should stop him , but best of luck to Elcock . At least he is willing to take risks .

    Unlike one of Frank Warren's favourites Gary Lockett , whose team seem to have opted for a vacant WBO title challenge(whenever Pavlik drops the belt) instead .

    This is SOO true. Of course he is protected. The last time he fought against gevor he was EXHAUSTED after a few rounds. It was that gevor was like a WELTERWEIGHT with NO POWER and NO PROPER DEFENCE otherwise AA would have lost that fight also.

    He indeed is not bad, not bad AT ALL. But he is green, a green mouse. In the old days he would've had maybe 50 fights ahead of him! Now that could turn him into a monster! (or any other fighter nowadays)

    Does it look like Pavlik might drop the WBO belt? I was so hoping too see Pavlik vs Lockett......lets get even for burning of The White House in 1812........ Hmmmmmm who would Lockett fight for vacant title Sebastian Zbik? What a epic battle that would be:bbb
    I don't really care who Abraham fights in Dec:-( just as long as Abraham fights Pavlik some time in 2008:good

    Yuck. Elcock is 33 - and when he was younger, he got KOd by journeymen. Terrible fight. Arthur should be stripped.

    Well, Elcock is placed before Duddy on the boxrec ratings - you know, the guy your new messiah is fighting.

    Do you guys think that IBF will have a box off between Giovanni Lorenzo and Sebastian Sylvester to fight to be the number one contender for Abraham? Both men could give him a tough fight and would be worthy of a title shot.;)

    Well, in the all-important ESB Official Rankings, Elcock is not rated in the top 10.
