    Javier castillejo is the weaklink champ. If kelly pavlik wants to start his career in the right path, he should target this guy. Then he should fight abraham, pavlik should fight taylor when he is ready, not yet.

      pavlik can't fight castillejo...he is practically owned by the germans so that castillejo will only be able to fight who they say so, and in this case, its going to be felix sturm once again.......

      by the time felix sturm retires, he will be a ten time world champion..............its funny over there, you get beat, and they have a way of getting you back the belt within a very short period of time!!..

          I have seen clips of both pavlik and miranda. Pavlik is clearly the more skilled fighter, i hope he targets the right guy to make his name. Too bad he cant fight castillejo. I hope he goes after another overrated guy like sam soliman or sturm.

              hey, felix sturm shouldn't loose against de la hoya, so if he hadn't get robbed he had not lost his first belt. his only true loss was too castillejo. so "by the time felix sturm retires, he will be a ten time world champion" isn't the right point. And castllejo wasn't his mandatory challenger, it's sturm who picked him, so he got a rematch clause in his contract. and give him credit for that, he didn't choose a bum in fighting castillejo.

                no not at all, but i find it interesting that a fighter can get his chance back within such a short period of time.........what about the other fighters trying to get a shot??

                  at this point the wba at the middleweight divsion means garbage, even if sturm wins and is a "champ" he wont have the leverage he had with only DLH as his "lose" this is more of avenaging a lose and proving that he really better then castelljo and is a top middleweight contender

                    No way sturm is overrated. when sturm beat do la hoya, he was kinda hyped, and now he lost one time, he is oàverrated?
