    imo pavlik stays were he is untill we see if he can clean house. Why make the jump when you dont need to he is a good fighter no doubt but has a lot more to prove IMO

    Hopefully Pavlik stays at middleweight long enough to unify the titles - then he can do whatever he wants at the higher weights.

    However - I can understand if Pavlik wanted to move up to try to secure a fight with Hopkins, Jones or Calzaghe before they all retire and he loses that opportunity forever.

    Perhaps if Winky Wright and Tito Trinidad return to middleweight - there would be enough potential marquee match ups there to reward him for staying in the division.

    spoken like a true door nob.

    **** mony the bad state that boxing is in now, was done way before for Floyd came along, if you don't know that then your ignoring the truth.

    why because you don't see fights like

    Herns vs Duran

    Herns Vs Hagler

    Hagler Vs the beast

    Curry Vs McCallum

    Currry Vs marlion Starling

    al of these fight were on major networks ABC , NBC and CBS for FREE

    in the 80s the network was the stage for these great fights, not any more, it really hard for boxer to get exposer that made there legacy mean something
    what good is your legacy when no one is watching.

    You try to make those same fights today and it would be hard press to get the lawerys, mangers,promoters and networks to agree on what color ink to use on the contracts, that the reality of sport TV today if you don't see that your ******ed, which you are.

    hell I even remeber when I was 12 a fighter call Johnny the heat Verdarosa who use the fight regularly on NBC and ESPN when boxing was big on Television but you wouldn't know that would young gup??

    anyway leave it to you to interject Floyd in a thread that has nothing to do with him.

    IF more meaning full fights or legacy fights ment more money then why arnt they happening on a regular basis?? why arn't they being made now ?!?!

    biggest reason Money and Airplay.

    It's pretty simple, the guy is like 6'2 1/2, he can't make 160 anymore, he 25, 26 years old, he is not a kid anymore. He shouldn't have to kill himslf anymore to fight at 160, eventually at one of these fights, he wont be able to make weight, no fighter want to lose his title on the scale.

    If he beats Taylor again there isn't much left at 160. End of story.

    ^^^^

    Pavilk said himself in a post fight interview [don't recall which fight] he has a hard time making weight. A fighter who is 6'2" isn't going to make 160 for an extended period of time without punishing himself.

    I hope Pavlik can stay a little while longer at middle to clean it out there. Fights in 2008
    # 1 Arthur Abraham
    # 2 John Duddy
    # 3 Winky Wright
    # 4 Segio Mora
    In med 2009 I think it be time to move up for Kelly as I don't think Pavlik will able make 160 by that time
    # 1 Felix Sturm
    # 2 Giovanni Lorenzo
    # 3 Joe Calzaghe
    # 4 Mikkel Kessler

    Pavlik might move up sooner as they might offer him so much money to fight Calzaghe he can't turn it down or if Pavlik finds in the Taylor rematch that feel much stronger at 166,:deal

    Taylor hurt him again when he got up. He just didn't throw the right punches to finish him off.

    Agreed

    I believe he should stay at 160, assuming he can make weight, and establish a legacy there. If he beat Abraham, Sturm, Wright, and some other top contenders, then he should move up. He's not ready for Kessler or Calzaghe.
