There are guys out there, like Duddy, Giovanni Lorenzo, Arthur Abraham and if you edge up to 168 [pounds], guys like [Joe] Calzaghe and [Bernard] Hopkins, Arum said. He has a big fight in June, and when you go on from there, he can do some spectacular things. This is the promoter' thinking. I'd like to see four of the 6.
cant see him fighting calzaghe - joe's already moving up to 175 to fight bhop, and once he's done that i cant see him coming down. Will AA fight outside Germany? Will Pavlick go to him if he won't? Hopkins is going to retire after JC, win or lose (and he'll lose). so Duddy and Lorenzo
The Pavlik camp was contacted by the Calzaghe people, so they are interested. If he should lose to Bhop, then I don't think he wants a Pavlik fight. If he wins it might be one last good fight for him if Pavlik keeps winning. A more popular Pavlik and Calzaghe's exposure to the US with a win over Bhop could mean big bucks. In truth, this is the fight that I most want to see.
I know Kelly is motivated, but his days at 160 may be limited as well. He seems to be comfortable makin 168 though. Maybe Calzaghe is a pipe dream for Arum though. Kelly could move from one weight class to another and never be title-less.
I would love to see him and Abraham get it on. I think Pavlik wins in a brutal fight. They are two of the best offensive fighters in the middleweight divsions.
Nope - Pavlik is suppose to fight Duddy in the Summer and Emmanuel Steward said he has a contract for Lee to fight Pavlik - if he beats Duddy. So, it looks like Pavlik's first two defenses will come against Duddy and Lee - if everyone continues to win.
He isn't a middle weight, doesn't have a title, and does't guarentee fight interest at the box office in the US. Not things on a promoters radar. But then again, this was a short clip in a press interview. He probably did put out the fights that could happen, or he wants to see happen within the next year.
year it is.... kessler is one og the most feared fighters.... apparently Winky turned down a fight on HBO against kessler kessler will arrive in vegas tomorrow.... and be ringside for taylors redemtion
I can't find the one with Manny saying has has the contract - but this should do! http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=14256&more=1
It's ridiculous. Pavlik is overrated, the only MW who recently was overrated more was Taylor before his 1st loss.
If he stays at middle he should try and get Abraham. If he moves up it has to be joe Calzaghe...once Joe beats hopkins ofcourse.:yep
