So, what's next for Kelly Pavlik? He has successfully ducked his only real rival at middleweight, which leaves him with a choice of the following opponents (taking from the rings top 10) Sturm Sylvester Gevor Williams Griffin Lopez Asikainen Mundine Geale The only fight there that would get him any sort of recognition is Williams, so expect him to avoid him like the plague. He will fight mandatory bums like boxrec ranked number 20 Zbik for the next 2 years before one of the upcoming middleweights (Pirog or Jacobs) knocks him out. Thoughts?
Who cares... Nobody wants to see him fight now. Hop exposed him, and AA took his heart. He has no choice now, but to come to 168.
Some media outlets are reporting Pavlik-Sergio Martinez in October? At least, preliminary negotiations have begun. Talk about another pointless fight. Am I the only one that thinks Bob Arum is seriously butchering this guy's career? Arum needs to spend less time Pac and Cotto and more time on his other fighters. Pavlik is one of the most marketable fighters in the sport, yet he's fighting the Mora's and Martinez's of the world.
MW is a sad state right now. Pavliks best fight there would be to take on the Welterweight/Jr. Middleweight P.Williams. Then move on to 168lbs where the big boys play.
we all know he wont fight p. williams and he wont go to germany to face sturm. :roll: so i guess where left with the exciting matchup of pavlik vs. zbik or mora? whoopty doooooo:yep
incorrect...the sticking point w/ sturm is an offer of less than half of what pav made to fight lockett. on top of the poor $$ offer to pav, why would sturm want to take that kind of money anyways? he does well for himself in germany. its all $$...sucks but what can ya do??
hes gotta go 168lbs now! Pavlik v Froch would be a nailed on classic more than likely fight of the year!!
Look, if you like college football, stick to watching college football. Boxing is not it for you. This retort should get you banned on stupidity alone...
I think 160lbs is where he feels safe bless him. If he really has the hunger for the big fights he must go to 168lbs, with that big frame its obviously no problem whatsoever for him. Bhop has left him mentally scarred and paranoid about ever moving weights again.:bart
Sorry, but why? AA in one sentence DID call out both Pavlik and ODH...FACT. If you're gonna be fair, you need to be making threads of Oscar ducking AA too, because Pav and ODH recieved the SAME "offer".:yep
if you can show me the video where aa doesnt in fact call out odlh then i may take you up on it :hi: EDIT to note that saying aa took pav's heart doesnt exactly put you at the top of your class either...
