If pavlik fights andre ward, aurthor abraham, andre dirrel, or bute he will lose and badly. against slicksters he will lose, then a guy who can take his punch like abraham will knock his ass out! its too bad, but unless he is matched up against the right opponent he will be made to look the fool. it seems after the hopkins loss his confidece is shattered. It would be nice if he just could stay at middleweight rematch martinez he could win that fight if he was prepared.
Hopkins exposed Pavlik and Martinez ruined him. Stay away from his right hand with constant movement and his two right feet will do the rest. Pavkik is done the same way Jeff Lacy was done.
I dont think Pavlick is done but he will find it hard to get a fight at super middle at the moment.The only option would be Bute in europe.He wold be better off tryng to get his old belt back at middle weight and see about moving up when super six is finished.
