Bigger challenger? No.. I'm pretty sure Pavlik could KO Mora, but it would be a better fight I think.. To fight Hopkins, he's gonna' have to jump up in wait to 170, I think? Pavlik vs Hopkins would be the better fight competition wise and for the money, but Mora would be the smartest and less riskier fight.. Gaining that weight could work against him as well as Hopkins will be bigger and weighing more on fight night.. Pavlik has a really damn good chance of tasting his first defeat against Hopkins.. Mora & Wright are right there at Pavlik's weight..
i agree with you but most fans want to see the fighters take on the biggest challenge, not the less risky fight.
I'd much rather see Pavlik vs Hopkins than Mora, but I think he would have been the best fight for Pavlik right now.. All good fights except for Williams..
