    You're an idiot. Look at the facts:

    Abraham took 6 rounds to beat a total bum and didn't even knock him out properly.

    Pavlik finished Lokett in 3 rounds and Lockett would have wiped the floor with Marquez.

    Pavlik beat JT twice.

    Pavlik isn't running from anyone, he could have had some old fool in the ring and waited for Abraham and Sturm but he stepped up to fight B Hop

    I don't think so, Pavlik is pretty one dimensional so having a slugfest suits him. As soon as he fought a tricky boxer he got canned.

    Agreed -- Rubio, Marquez, McKart, Ornelas, Zuniga, et, all those guys would beat Lockett.

    I disagree...

    Pavlik vs Abraham will happen possibly after Pavlik fights Rubio in February.

    I think people are just giving Pav a hard time because of how he lost to Bernard. Abraham technically is no bernard and if they're going to go blow for blow you can't count Pavlik out.

    Pavlik put AA off in order to pursue a fight with Calzaghe. Joe ran like a little *****, so Kelly fought Hopkins while Abraham took care of his mandatory. Yep -- Pavlik ducked Abraham in order to pursue Calzaghe and fight BHop -- I'm sure that in your crack addled alternate reality that makes pefect sense.

    Technically, he didn't put AA off. Kelly had a mandatory rematch against Taylor. Then a mandatory fight against Lockett.

    AA then had a mandatory against Marquez.

    Nobody would fight Kelly, so he tookl B-Hop.

    Now Kelly has a mandatory with Rubio in Feb.

    Look for a June fight with AA.

    June is what I've heard they are now looking at. I really want this fight to happen. Abraham is talking about fighting Sturm in Germany. I hope that happens to. Sturm won't keep AA off of him for 12 rounds. At some point he'll get knocked out. That would mean all the belts on the line with KP/AA. And trust me, considering the way people are bent on trashing Kelly lately, I would love to see our "one dimensional plodder" spark AA for all the marbles!
