kelly pavlik is on the bum circuit

Sturm was offered 2.5 million euros to fight AA, how much will Kelly Pavlik make for a fight with Duddy? i mean 2.5 million euros is roughly $3million....

There protecting Pavlik like a fat girl protects a bag of chips. It sucks cuz we could be seeing Abraham/Pavlik but Pavlik's handlers know that he is kinda of a hype job.

first 3 title defences lockett... rubio... duddy.. wtf :thinking: The first two were mandatory defenses against #1 contenders. Pavlik worked his ass off for those straps so he is not going to give them away by default just because the WBO and WBC cannot get their act together.

Locket=mandatory, rubio= mandatory. He has to fight these guys to retain his alphabet soup belts. The same goes for Abraham fighting Marquez and Sturm fighting Sylvester. There aren't many viable contenders at middlewight. I could live with a Duddy fight if it meant we were going to get a Pavlik vs AA, Sturm, or Pwill fight after.

Duddy more popular worldwide than Abraham? I think I have heard it all now. Much more well known in the USA Australia Canada and the UK. Abraham holds down Eastern Europe and the rest of the world is a wash. Kelly is not going to Germany to fight Abraham and he is not coming to the US. Everybody knows who Irish John Duddy is and if you disagree you don't know squat!

In all fairness the Rubio fight was probably more of a tune up fight to gain a little bit more confidence after his recent loss to Hopkins (where he got demolished)... but yeah I do agree he needs to fight better opposition as in the likes of Arther Abraham and that.

John Duddy is the match that needs to happen for Kelly. There is too much to lose by not fighting him next. Duddy has a bigger name than even Abraham. Duddy was able to box Vanda but he will have no other choice but to engage Kelly in a brutal battle for as long as it lasts. It is the guy with the biggest name, best style to make Kelly look good and it also the fight that is right up there at the top in terms of money to be made. All that with minimal risk. Duddy fought on the same day, showed a new style that is improved even if it is not as exciting and he did not suffer a cut. If he lets Duddy drop to 154 and get beat there he lost out on a great opportunity. For Duddy it also makes sense to take his shot against the best while still leaving him the option to drop down in weight. If he even makes a contest out of it he won't lose much luster on his name. This is the fight for a rebuilding Kelly Pavlik in terms of hype. Some people even were saying it would be disasterous for him to be pushed by Rubio. Take the name, money and safe bet Kelly.

Reminds me of Calzaghe No not really when Mayweather fought more prime fighters and more P4P fighters. So you fail like Calzaghe's legacy fairplay you need help with this little anger issue you have, closet job

Arum's looking to fill Pavlik's pockets. Money>>>>Legacy.

So glad i didn't pay for yesterday's event. Bob Arum is bad for his fighters and worse for the rest of them. He will drive talent out of boxing completely and we will be left with Duddy like talent and worse! We will have to grow used to fights dragging on and on and no KOs or very little KOs which will happen when some 20 year old fights a 50 year old, in which the 20 year old will get KTFO and Bob Arum will proceed to say he wasn't on his night and then pad his resume for another 2 years.

who **** are u to call them bums ?

Other than AA who do you want him to fight? There's really no one out there. This division is no longer great. Hopkins moved up, JT moved up, and Winky is gone. I don't get it. Maybe Sturm. Okay two guys that aren't huge names and there isn't great demand for him to fight. And maybe Paul Williams. The mw division is thin right now. It's not his fault. If he moves up he gets his but kicked by Dawson and possibly Direll.

first 3 title defences lockett... rubio... duddy.. wtf :thinking: :lol1: :lol1:.....Its crazy, who the hell they think they be foolin'? Kelly needs to step it up big time!

No not really when Mayweather fought more prime fighters and more P4P fighters. So you fail like Calzaghe's legacy in 5 years time when you leave your teenage years you will look back at the cock sucking posts you made about floyd on this forum and laugh, everyone else is doing that already.

I miss the reign of JT, that man fought the best..... yep. JT = True Champ Pavlik needs to step it up. ARUM IS BAD FOR BOXING. The guy doesn't want to know about Sturm and Abraham. Pavlik would KTFO them both. Arum is a bum. Yep couldnt agree more.. Bob Arum sucks balls and Pavlik needs to step it up

Duddy is not certain, Rubio fought an elimination bout to become a mandatory, and considering he fought Taylor twice, Hopkins and Miranda (feared at the time) in his last 6 fights, I'd say he's not doing too bad.

Pavlik needs to step it up. ARUM IS BAD FOR BOXING. The guy doesn't want to know about Sturm and Abraham. Pavlik would KTFO them both. i hate Arum man, really do. Remember when he totally refused to let Winky fight Pavlik even after the Pavlik camp said bring it....

Reminds me of Calzaghe or mayweather.
