Pav's back and looking for a title shot i think Froch would be a perfect test. Better that than seeing Froch beat **** out of powder puff Bute again. Thoughts...
doesn't deserve it? Hey the guy had a problem with the grog - he has moved towns and trainers and looked fitter than he ever has in his last fight albeit against an outclassed fighter - like horse racing - you can only beat what's in front of you at the time. To his credit he is fighting again straight away to keep active and has said he wants a crack at the title - froch has a title and i think two granite chinned punchers going toe to toe would make for a great fight...i cant argue with Kessler as an opponent either he looked **** hot last outing...
Such as? (assuming Kessler's not an option)
Arthur Abraham, They both achieved comparable records at MW, now both campaigning at SMW I think that's a great and most relevant crossroads fight for two fighters at crossroads in their careers. Pavlik doesn't deserve a shot at Froch right now.
sorry mate I meant Pavlik should get a meaningful win at the weight before calling out froch.
I can't see Kessler ducking out of the froch fight, thats the next for those 2 guys, so Pavlik needs something to do in the meantime.
If he just fights another bum after this rosinsky fella then you know all he's doing is hanging around for the cheque (as i suspect) because theres plenty of decent options for him
yeah you're right, my fault, I read your post wrong.
I don't think Kessler will necessarily duck Froch but apparently Kessler is asking for a lot of money (i.e. too much for Hearn) to fight in the UK, which is the only place Froch is interested.
ANYBODY
(in order of preference)
Bika
Oustheiven
Steigletz
Dirrell
Johnson
Abraham
Groves
Any of them would do.
****ing civil service workers and fat middleweights do not a title shot make.
Well he's already beaten Abraham and Johnson, so not much to gain there.
I like the Stieglitz fight but he will probably lose his title to Abraham, Sauerland are difficult to negotiate with too.
Groves isn't ready, Froch has sparred with him and has publicly said that.
Dirrell stunk the place out last time, there will be no demand for that fight and Oosthuizen is an up and comer at 24, I can't see him getting into the ring with Froch
So that leaves Sakio Bika or Kelly Pavlik, the latter being the 'money' fight.
Kelly Pavlik needs to avenge his losses to Former Welterweight Martinez and 50 year old Hopkins.
OR....
he could get a meaningful win at the weight
Sick of hearing about this clown, face reality Pavliks boys, he hasnt done **** in years and is totally irrelevant
