Will Floyd call out Pavlik like he called out Trinidad?

[baya]

personally, i'd favor lil' floyd over pavlik - i can see how, even with pav's huge size advantages, floyd can exploit enough holes in his game to **** out a W against the games best 160lber.

how bananas would that be.

no demi,his highest weight was middle and he's fighting at a catchweight of 170,to me the difference would've been benign with tito and floyd,cause everyone[atleast the consensus is]that floyd would out box tito,i'm not as cynical but i think tito has a skinny frame at middle he looked a little chubby.

roy jones fought at HW , does that make him a natural HW?? im saying that tito is at his best at 148 IMO. while pavlik is at 160 ( he has hard time making it )

What makes all of you think that Pavlik is this big PPV star like Oscar now? He's never even fought on PPV. Just because he's white doesnt mean that all of America knows who he is yet. Im not sure that if he fought on PPV right now that he would do huge numbers

the jerry cooney syndrome.

Interesting question, I posted this as a reply in another post the other day. When Felix Trinidad was contemplating coming back into boxing, back in around July, Floyd said that he was more than willing to fight him at 160, Tito as usual made the ****** mistake not taking the fight. Now, Floyd has the guts to call out washed out HoF Trinidad. But I wonder, would he ever have the guts of calling out the new, on his prime champion Kelly Pavlik? A victory over Pavlik, highly unlikely though, would shut all these floyd haters once and for all and cement Floyd's path to boxing's HoF. But you and I, both know, that it will NEVER happen. But it could, it's a possibily, a fight like that could put boxing in a whole new level. The big white hype against the best P4p.

The thing is... Floyd only calls out guys he knows he can win.

He stays out of Mosley, Kostya, Cotto, Margarito, Williams, Casamayor, Freitas.

A very long list of fighters he has ducked.

Like he sad..........

"I'M NOT FIGHTING TO PROVE TO THE FANS WHO'S THE BEST".

That's why Fake Floyd will always duck and weave top opposition.

tito used to be LW, pavlik can fight at LHW

my fault,but he didn't fight at light welter,it was welter.

huh? all i said was i think tito is at best at 148 (kelly at 160 ). now thats welterweight. and he began his career at 140. thats light welterweight. he never said he had trouble making weight, while kelly said it a couple of times . so to me , kelly is a natural 168 pounder the guys is 6'2 there is no shame for floyd if he doesnt call pavlik out but he calls floyd out .

the threadstarter made an irrelevant argument IMO

No it wouldn't. See the whole nature of hatin' is to be irrationally negative at all costs to the individual. The hater only lives to see the person on top be toppled. If he goes 39-0 or 49-0, there still be Mayweather haters.

Pavlik wouldn't garner the amount of money and attention that Tito would. If Pavlik COULD do that than Floyd would take the fight, because money makes him do odd things.
