Actually Winky ignoring Pavlik when Kelly was on his way up is totally excusable. A big name ignores an up and comer; happens all the time. Right now I rank the middleweights this way; #1 Pavlik #2 Wright #3 Abraham #4 Sturm However, I admit that I assume a few things with that ranking order. Pavlik and Wright both have questions to answer, but I assume both will come back strong. The version of Winky that fought Taylor beats AA by a unanimous decision. (Unless the fight is in Germany. In that case Winky needs a KO followed by a 20 count in order to win a split decision!) Pavlik/Wright or Pavlik/Abraham we'll have to debate when the time comes. It ought to generate some GREAT poster wars!
Having Winky above Abraham at this point is like a bad porn movie...it's sick,I'm not sure Pavlik would beat Abraham
Whatever,Winky has been so inactive he shouldn't have a slot till he fights,no way it is how you said it.And boy....if Abraham gets Pavlik......it's a wrap for Kelly:bbb :yep .Anyway in other news some other conteders gonna get their chances till the big boys fight.Winky,Sturm,Rubio etc will be there hopefully to make them look good.
If Pavlik didnt learn anything from the loss to Hopkins then Winky by UD. If he did and his camp prepares him properly for Winky it could be an interesting fight. Abraham and Winky is a tough call but I think Abraham would find ways to land just enough shots to win a close decision, as long as he doesnt get KO'd by Winky's counter hooks and uppercuts. Abraham i think is better then most people realize and can avoid alot of what Winky would throw at him.
