IF I may, That's a little inaccurate. They certainly had plans even if the plans weren't that great. Having Marquez vs Abraham on PPV was a nice idea, as was Vernon Forrest on a Sho-Box event before Forrest pulled out. Even the Lorenzo-Abraham fight being shown on a double header was a decent concept. They also brought Arthur to the U.S to fight Miranda in his backyard.
Pavlik vs Abraham. That's the most important middleweight fight to make, moving up to super middle is not a good decision over this in my opinion. Just want Pavlik to stay at middle and dominate there till he really runs out of options or can't make weight.
This is true. In reality it's been one damn thing after another getting in the way. Mandatories, Calzaghe's mouth, Abraham got sick and post poned with Marquez, Pavlik's loss to Hopkins, et. In spite of all the evidence to the contrary, I have not given up hope. I actually think Arum may have thrown Froch's name out as a negotiating ploy to motivate Sauerland.
The two times KP steped up from 160 he never came close to KOing anyone so how do you pick him to KO Froch who has a very good chin. Also AA has good punch resistance so I would not be to confident on that one either. Both fights would go the distancee and if anyone got stopped it would be KP.
He's KO'd 3 of 5 opponents at 168 or above. Those 3 didn't make it passed the 2nd rd. The other 2 included an 8rd UD and the B-Hop loss.
He hurt his right hand early in the second Taylor fight and still had JT in trouble with a body shot from it in the 11th.
Rather see Pavlik v AA, just to see who rules the middleweight division. Although any of the three fighters you mentioned fighting each other would be good.
I have absolutely no doubt, BOTH fighters would like to fight each other, unfortunately I can't say the same about the promoters.
