Bob Arum is considering Pavlik-Mayorga

We've already seen him vs Mayorga (See:Edison Miranda) I like the choice of Randy Griffin though. If he's beats strum July 5th then it's unification too.

Is absolutely everyone trying to get Mayorga killed? The man is entertaining, people need to take steps to ensure he's around the game for awhile to come.

You think Mayorga would let Pavlik hit him with his best shots, like he did with Trinidad and Forrest? I'm not saying he could pull it off, but how sick would it be if he could, even if he doesn't go the distance afterwards?

thats not at all what he said... HE said Calzaghe is top priority and that talks have been going really well for October 18th. The back up is Rubio and then Abraham, with Mayorga on the list of possiblities as well, but a looooooot would have to go wrong for that fight to happen

pavlik is too big and strong for mayorga....

Huge mismatch, Pavlik wins by brutal ko, i hope this fight doesn't happen

this fight would be HUGE! angry violent trash talking latino vs all american boy...the americans will buy this up! this is the fight pavlik needs to put him on the map the promos will be crazy! The americans will enjoy this if this is ppv the buys will be like 500-600k buys. I don't think this should be a PPV but with Kelly's rising popularity they might try to pull that on the public. Either way I agree the fight would be a huge attraction. I think the PPV aspect would hurt it though. A fight like this should be seen by everyone. If they could put it on Versus like they did with Hatton-Lazcano that would be beautiful.

Why Mayorga? The only success Mayorga has had at any weight above 154 was beating up a shot Vargas. Pavlik is way too big for Mayorga, who has been a shadow since moving up from 147. Mayorga is a safe fight for most champions because he doesn't train.

lol pavlik would end mayorgas life biggest mismatch of all time I think Mayorga has a better chance then the dude who he fought this saturday.. Anyway, I agree... What would kill Mayorga in the fight would be his pride. When have you ever seen him turn down a fight? I agree with the person who says Mayorga's name gets tossed around too much for every division. People see him as an easy win though and he is guaranteed to generate interest and be exciting win or lose.

Can you imagine Mayorga egging on Pavlik to throw a right hand like he did against Trinidad? That'd be hilarious, until Mayorga was pronounced dead on arrival.

Yessssss. Aside from Pavlik-Calzaghe, this would be awesome for Kelly's career. As others said, the hype alone would be sick. I'd love to see Pavlik actually genuinely dislike an opponent for once, although I like Mayorga. The shit that Mayorga talks is second to none, and he isn't afraid to throw bombs either, so it would be a slugfest. Pavlik KO 4.

Easy KO win for Pavlik. The buildup will be funny, Mayorga will talk trash like he always does and then end up getting knocked the fuck out by Pavlik. If this fight happens you can kiss Mayorga's career goodbye.

who the fuck is Rubio? Never ever heard of him before until Pavlik. rubio is a guy who got 1st round ko'd by one of floyds sparring partners. he got his name on the map by ko'ing zertuche, a year after pavlik did it. he has a good record because he ko's alotta bums. arum thinks rubio will be a showcase fight to get alot of mexicans to like pavlik. maybe hes right.

woah, that's crazy. Seems like Mayorga's name gets thrown around in almost any weight division. Possible first opponent for David Haye? Mayorga. Possible title defense for Ivan Calderon? Mayorga :boxing: No shit. We know it's really getting out of hand if we hear Mayorga for a possible opponent for Valuev or even the Great Tye Fields.

fuck that would be a demolition! Mayorga isn't afraid of anyone though and I know he would take the fight!

Niether of those candidates are the ideal choice to challenge Kelly, but if those are the options I would mind to see him fight Mayorga. The hype before the fight would be good, I wonder how Kelly would treat it because he's a pretty down to earth guy. I don't think he will be affected much and then proceed to beat the ever loving hell out of Mayorga.

I would love to see that! i would even make the trip to vegas, or atlantic city for it. Pavlik/Mayorga would be so brutal, both men hold nothink back. I just hope this one happens!

mayorga would be a great fight to showcase pavlik against a tough name. i think pavlik wins by ko, but it would be a very exciting, brutal fight.
