Do you really want to see that fight? Trinidad doesn't deserve a title shot and Pavlik's style is all wrong for him, look what Winky did to him with his jab.
Pavlik is probably seeing the dollar signs, but he should keep to his original plan: re-unify the titles and attempt to dominate the division. There's no question in my mind that Calzaghe would beat him, but why does he need to move to Super Middle? He should focus on his weight class and try to keep the division stable. There are a number of good European middleweights that would love to get their shot.
That Dan Rafeal article is old news. I'm pretty sure Papa Trinidad already said Tito can't make 160. Let's see Pavlik/Duddy with Abraham/Sturm on the undercard. Then the winner of Abraham/Sturm gets a crack at Pavlik. Boo
Whoever he fights in June is fine by me. He's been on a killer run over the last 4 fights or so. An easy one in his next fight understandable. Trinidad makes a lot of sense for Pavlik;doubt it happens. Duddy seems to be the leading choice and that's fine. It actually might be fun while it lasts. After his money fight in June, than its on to bigger things. Wright or Abraham are the two most logical choices. Either one works for me. Sturm might be acceptable, but a let down. Doesn't matter as Sturm refuses to face the best. So, whoever he faces in June is fine, Pavliks exciting so I'll be watching.
I think Pavlik's next 3 fights should be against Trinidad/Duddy, Wright, and then a big showdown with Abraham.
Whoever he's fighting in June...I'LL BE THERE! Sturm would NEVER fight kelly. 0% chance. He'd be afraid to get that pretty face of his all ****ed up. :yep
Winky is a relatively big name, would bring decent money, and it would look nice on Pavlik's resume to be the first guy to stop him.
Exactly with Sturm. He'll probably end up in a best of 7 with Castiello. Throw in a few journeymen and then call it a day. He'll never face Pavlik.
how the hell does trinidad get any right to be fighting for the mw title.it has to be duddy,then duddy will take on sturm then abraham,then lee to clean out the division.
Because Don King walked up to Bob Arum & said "I want a piece of this Pavlik action. How 'bout we through Felix into the fire?" What does King care. He's just want his cut of a possible big fight payday. Toto doesn't deserve a title shot. Let him go fight a few more fights first.
