All that is pure garbage, what is Abraham planning to do now and what are Pavlik's plans? Surely, someone who's scared from Pavlik wouldn't move up in weight to participate in a tournament/division packed with elite fighters that make Pavlik look like the one dimensional no skill protected fighter that he is.
He weighed 164 for the Taylor fight. Then he weighed 169 for the B-Hop fight. Came in at the same weight the day of the fight. B-Hop came in at 184.
Yup, moving up in weight to fight DLH at 154 in a fight where all the advantages were with Oscar INCLUDING money is 100% money and nothing else. atsch Let's say you're right, even though I obviously disagree, let's compare Mayweather's accomplishments at that time with Pavlik's. Pavlik barely has enough good wins, Mayweather was a multiple weight division champion at the time, fighter of the year 1998 and #1 P4P. If Mayweather was completely cherry picking he wouldn't have been voted fighter of the year 2007 above Pacquiao, Margarito, Williams and Cotto. Wake me up if Pavlik is ever voted fighter of the year or accomplishes 10% of what Mayweather has to demand big money fights. The guy is coming off an ass whopping to Hopkins so bad that he NEEDS to run after ANY half decent name available to make people forget that loss instead of asking guys to become more popular to fight him.
