Havn't seen anyone mention this. What are the chances Pavlik will try again at 160 and try regain the undisputed, lineal crown?
Martinez says he wants big money fights. Do you believe HBO would pay a modest sum for that fight? And should Martinez grant Pavlik a rematch? Would another win over Pavlik greatly enhance his legacy?
if pavlik WANTS a rematch..martinez HAS to fight him again..REMATCH CLAUSE is still in effect
Oh yeah. Good point. How long will that rematch clause be valid for though, I wonder.

Do you think any fighter would like to be beaten twice? No, thats why Pavlik won't fight, He doesn't have the tools to beat Martinez.
Are the rumours really true about Pavlik's personal problems?
I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch either Rabbit. It was a good fight, and yeah Pavlik was doing well up until he was cut. And in fairness to him, his corner was terrible that night. They didn't know how to stop the blood-flow.
Id like to see this to but not likely . Pav got some personal **** to deal with although I dont see martinez getting any bigger money fights than that. HBO might be weary though being Pavlik pulls out of fights on the reg.
Pavlik should just settle with a personal victory knowing Martinez is a great fighter, and with the added struggle with weight, a competitive loss might be the best he can hope for.
I had him outboxing Martinez in the middle rounds, then he just fell apart. But overall competitive nonetheless.
Pavlik needs a new lease on boxing, already stated he struggles to make the weight go up and fight a journeyman at 169 and see how it goes.
Martinez can wait and see now, have a well earned break. Or he needs to ride the wave of populairty and get a decent fight going. Fight Mundine ........... lol
