    Sergio Martinez does not have a decent dance partner for his fall return to the ring. All the welterweights and junior welterweights he has been calling out have other plans. No one is interested in moving up 20 pounds to face the P4P #3 middleweight champion.

    However, Sergio does have the opportunity in front of him to enhance his legacy, and earn a career high pay day, and no one is asking him to move up 20 pounds to earn the opportunity.

    Pavlik now says he would be willing to come down as far as 165 for a rematch with Martinez, and that he would "take the fight in a heartbeat."

    In Sergio's last fight he entered the ring at 170 pounds; same weight as Miranda, Taylor, and Pavlik who were all considered huge middleweights. The added muscle did not slow him down or hurt him in any way. In a fight with Pavlik, scheduled for 165, the fight time weight difference would probably be 3-5 pounds rather than the 11 pounds we saw in the first fight.

    Under the present circumstances this is the best and highest paid fight for either man. There is no reason for Martinez to ignore this opportunity.

    Here's a link to a recent interview. Toward the end of the video you will see and hear KP calling Martinez out FOR THE THIRD TIME!

    Here's a portion of Martinez/Pavlik I. This video shows exactly why Sergio does not want anyone to notice that he is ignoring an oppotuntiy to earn a career high pay day.

    If Pavlik is serious about taking on a top boxer he should fight Bute.

    Kelly's sauce-addled brain has blacked-out the 9 rounds he was schooled and made to look like a plodding, bar drunk?

    Pavlik could have fought him already, as he had a rematch clause. But he opted to try to fight Jack Daniels instead.

    Let him get a good win or 2, before he calls out a man he ducked for a rematch, when he had the legal right to force him to take it.

    End thread.

    I don't mind this idea, however I'd much rather see Pavlik lock into a weight class and start dominating it. Even if he took Martinez at a catchweight it wouldn't be for the MW title and he's fought a couple times in limbo catchweights. I know he wants to avenge that loss, but its behind him now, I'd rather see him claim a title at SMW or LHW and settle in there. I believe he would still be drained now at 165 and maybe we might see the same result as last time, I'm saying this as a fan of Pavlik, not a fan of Martinez, though I respect his accomplishments thus far.

    Yes because he has earned a shot at the title. Look if he makes MW then the fight is there for Sergio to defend his title.
    Another scenario is pick up a title at 168 and im sure Martinez would love to go up and beat on Pavlik again to pick up another easy title. Martinez will TKO Pavlik this time. He wont even give him a chance to tell Jack that he doesnt want to continue this time.

    Pavlik should keep it to himself till he beats Lopez, and when/if he beats Lopez he should just announce it then and there that he wants a rematch.

    I'm sure it'd happen.

    Pavlik had a rematch clause and chose not to take it.

    If the rematch happened and Martinez won clearly again, would we hear the same "weight drain" corollary after the fight?

    I'm all for a rematch by the way.

    The rematch did not specify a weight. Team Pavlik ask for a rematch at 164. diBella and Martinez refused to even discuss the idea, and called out Shane Mosely. End thread!
