I just read an article on the scene for boxing where Bob Arum sounds pissed off that HBO should've "forced" Pavlik-Calzaghe...& Not Allowed Jones-Calzaghe.atsch. He then rambles on about how HBO shouldnt be recycling OLD fighters and that they are ruining the sport by not making the best possible match ups....:huh Now this is all silly to me IMO because Arum has to be the biggest hypocrite in the sport. Isnt this the same guy who made Cotto-Gomez? Pavlik-Lockett? PacMan - Diaz? & is he NOT getting his MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMP a fight with a Welterweight?:blood Hey Mr Arum, what up with Winky Wright?:think Hey Mr. Arum what up with Arhtur Abraham?:think.......:deal It seems as if Bob Arum always sucks on sour grapes when he cant get his fighters the BIG fights....I mean anyone with any brains knows that Winky is the Biggest Middleweight fight.....why doesnt Arum do that?..... He has had a smear campaign going on Mayweather for the past 2 years all because he didnt get any of the money from Mayweathers PPV Bouts:hi:.....I cant blame him for wanting to have his Top Rank company involved in BIG BOUTS, but at the same time he should be trying to put his fighters in more meaningful bouts.... I commend him for Cotto-Margarito but Pavlik fighting Williams is BULL****!!!!!!!!!!
There is no one else for Pavlik to fight other then AA and that fight will happen soon.Cotto is fighting the most dangerous man in the division.The fact that Calzaghe is fighting RJJ instead of Pavlik is pathetic
There is nothing pathetic about the Jones Calzaghe fight !And there were plenty of other names for Pavlik to fight !!! Allan Green Anthony Munine Winky Wright !! Stop using that excuse that they couldn't get anyone else but a welter when theu never bothered to really try !! Whats more pathetic is that Pavlik would agree to it ..Now thats pathetic
he is hypercritical - but his comments regarding calzaghe vs pavlik are spot on trouble is when you give Gomez a shot at Cotto instead of other leading contenders you are setting yourself up to cop a bit of a bagging
I don't know why the f would u want to see a true middle weight vs a part time welter ? I love it how people can rip Joe for fighting a legend but in the same breathe embrace this joke of a fight !! The hyporocsy is running rampant with Pavlik fans !!
Easily Joe just fought : Kessler Hopkins and then Jones Kelly : Taylor ,Lockett and now Williams !! Are you serious ?? I think you need to re-evaluate your position on this ..
We can talk about upcoming and past fights it makes no diffrrence when its clear who's taking on the better challenges ...And its not Pavlik ..
Although Im not really a fan of Arum he is completely correct in this situation. Boxing needs to turn the page, but will only hold itself down when it keeps gving these old stars the money and platform to stay relevent.
The same guys who is making his current middleweight champ fight a welter ..yeah Im going to listen to what he says ..Its all about whats good for him and his fighters ..This is the same guy was mad that Oscar fought Mayweather because he couldn't get his boy Margarito in there .
