    Well it looks like Zuniga is gonna be left out in the cold again as Pascal is gonna fight Karoly Balzay or Carl Froch for WBO or WBC title so there be no Pascal vs Zuniga fight:dead And poor Rubio I don't see has name coming up for a fight with Pavlik lately looks like Mora or Duddy get the call:deal Hey maybe these two hard luck kids should fight each other:think Zuniga vs Rubio would be a nice slugfest:bbb

    This is seriously ****ed up! Before Abraham/Ayala Zuniga was scheduled to fight a title eliminator at 160 but the opponent pulled out due to an injury. Somehow Zuniga's name just disappeared from contention.

    We could have had Pavlik/Zuniga II instead of Pavlik/Lockett, but HBO chose Lockett.

    Zuniga was suppose to fight Pascal back on June 6th on Friday Night Fights, but Pascal postponed due to his ongoing shoulder problems. the fight was rescheduled for August 1st, but now we got this bull**** to deal with!!!

    Zuniga has not fought since he handed Oganov his ass. He's willing to fight the best he can get and ducks no one! The guys has an exciting style, the balls of a rhinocerous, and enough skill that he'd beat most "b" level guys at 168, and all of the "b" list at 160. But he can't get a god damn fight!!! This is some ****ed up bull****, and I'm pissed about it!

    Nothing has been confirmed with Duddy or Mora for Pavlik, so don't rule out Rubio just yet.

    Zuniga---->:bump Rubio---> Insert new name.
    [On the brink, but still not known enough outside of circles]

    The Rubio people were 100% that they would get their shot.
    (They signed contract's & everything, according to Solo Boxeo)

    Rubio was even a guest at the Lockett fight cheering Kelly on.

    I thought Rubio was going to fight Pav in Sept and then AA was going to fulfill his mandetory against Raul Marquez. Wasnt Forrest also going to use his rematch clause, plus dUDDY IS GOING BACK DOWN TO 154 against Phillips

    You might be right Rubio might get the shot, as Mora might have too rematch Forrest and Duddy talking about fighting Phillips at 154. Hey who knows if Griffin beats Sturm this Sat we just might see Pavlik vs Griffin in Sept:p

    Unfortunately you never know with Arum? Arum could buy Mora out of his rematch clause, with Mora vacating the title. This could give Forrest a shot of regaining his title without having to fight Mora agian.

    Vincent, where do you come up with this ****? Last Friday, June 27th, Jack Leowe made it clear that there are 5 possible opponents under consideration for Kelly in the fall. Hopkins, Wright, Mora, Rubio, and Williams. I say to hell with Rubio. Bring on Winky! Think about it! What if Kelly beat Taylor, Wright, and Abraham all 3 in about one years time! WOW!

    But Arum has talking Duddy again and there is money in that fight:yep Then again Arum loves too throw out names because guys like me eat it up:hey I would love too see Pavlik fight Winky too but really think at this point Winky needs a tune up the guy has not fought in many moons:verysad and did not look good in his fight with Hopkins:-( Pavlik might not get any credit for beating him:bart But say Winky has a tune vs someone like Rubio or David Lopez and looks great Pavlik vs Wright could be a big one.:thumbsup
