Most German fans also think that he'll probably loose against Pavlik. Nevertheless we can't wait for this fight.
Calzaghe probably isn't going to happen. With that in mind, there's no hurry to move to 168, as Pavlik is still relatively young. Sooooo, clean out the MW division, starting with Abraham. Then move to SMW and take care of business there.
Calzaghe ( if he changes his mind ) If Calzaghe changes his mind and agrees to the fight I can't see Pavlik not taking it. With Joe getting used to the LHW weight and seriously considering retirement the window for a fight with Pavlik is growing smaller and smaller. Abraham will still be around once that fight is done but the same can't be said if Pavlik fights Abraham first.
I don't think that "most German fans" think that AA will loose against Pav... AA is still underrated.
AA for sure. It should be a great fight to watch. In the ring, neither one is hard to find and both like to punch. Plus, getting the other's belt has to be one of the only remaining reasons for either to stay at MW. Outside of eachother there really isnt anything interesting left at MW for either to look forward to. On the other hand there are a lot of real good matchups for both at SMW.
A fight with Abraham is the best fight out there, also the middleweight division has a lot of talent so moving up isn't the best decision for now unless he's struggling with weight.
