    TBD in Cleveland, the other two in New York or Atlantic City.

    That is from the local paper but I can't find the little quip on their web site as of yet. Also says Paul Williams is iffy. "He plaayed games with us", said a still steamed Arum.

    If Arum pulls off the Sturm then Abraham, will the hate go away? I doubt it.

    What did TBD do to get first crack?

    Duddy will be next for Pavlik if he looks good tomorrow.

    Say what you will but that fight will sell out Madison Square Garden and I think it will be an exciting bloodbath the 4 rounds or so it lasts.

    I won't believe it until it actually happens. I read quotes from Arum the other day where he said that Duddy is a bigger money fight than Sturm and Abraham, and that the Duddy fight would be the one the pursued next.

    You mean Duddy? :lol: Puts axes in seats.

    IF, big IF, Arum pulls this off, nothing short of brilliant marketing though.

    seem loads of future lists from fighters over the years when they put 3 names in advance.

    never seen one list pan out without something happening to put the mockers on it.

    boxing is simply to unpredictable

    Exactly. But, TBD (aka Duddy) SHOULD pan out as expected. Strum is a bigger question mark. If those two get made, and Kelly wins, then AA is a given. Like I said. Brilliant IF it happens.

    Zuniga got down graded from dangerous puncher to "club fighter"

    McKart got down graded from cagey southpaw to "shot to ****"

    Zertuche got down graded from decent contender to "club fighter"

    Miranda got down graded from monster to "hype job"

    Taylor got down graded from undisputed middleweight champion to "over rated HBO poster boy"

    Abraham will get down graded from iron chinned monster with awesome power and defense to "eurobum"

    The pattern is long established. It won't change.

    I think Duddy is going to fight Chavez Jr next. Atleast thats what I heard Arum was trying to do.

    Seems like Jack Loew was talking bollocks when he said an offer had already been made to Abraham then? If they are planning on fighting Duddy and Sturm next then they would obviously not be making any offers to Abraham at this stage. I tend to believe Arum over Loew anyway.

    It's just trash talk from both sides. Everybody is just stirring the pot a bit.
