With AA out of his weight division,Pavlik is the undisputed king of the castle.Pavlik rules the roost,but nobody is invincible. Who can beat Pavlik at middle weight? Sturm? Gevor? Geale? Mundine? Lee? Duddy? Slyvester? Or some of the upcomming very promising new kids on the block like Golovkin,Korobov,or Pirog? How would Pavlik fare against Sturm? Or against Pirog?
what about Geovanni(sp?) Lorenzo, i thought he looked pretty good in his last fight. he will face sly for the IBF belt. Mundine would give him some problems too.
I don't see anybody beating Pavlik at 160 besides Abraham and Williams. Who knows what Williams is going to do and I guess it's official that Abraham will be moving up.
Yeah with him entering into that 168 pound tourney it's a wrap. Williams, I don't know yet. For him to beat Pav he will have to have at least 2 fights at middle and condition his body to never come down again. I read he was eating all he wanted for the Wright fight b/c he is not really even a middleweight he is just tall enough. I've seen little welters stun him, what's pavik's straight right going to do?
There is a guy over this side of the world called Matthew Macklin i think in a year he could put it up to Pavlik, From the original list i dont see anyone there doing it but would like to see Pavlik versus Duddy not just because im Irish but because i think it would be fun while it lasted. Williams is still a welterweight but give him a few middleweight bouts to adjust to the weight and it could be him who takes the crown.
I like Macklin but would be surprised if he beat the big euro contenders like Gevor or Sylvester anytime soon
KP beats all of them, IMO. The only fight worth mentioning now won't happen so Arum can keep milking him for all I care.
