Pavlik's Next Two Fights: Lorenzo and Duddy? Ugh.

[DrewWoodside]

Abraham's stamina is a joke.. He'll be completely winded by round 10. I'm shocked his handlers are gonna bring his belt to the states.

Duddy should fight Lorenzo in an eliminator...

If Arum had any balls he'd have Pavlik fighting both guys simultaneously. I think that's an even money fight.

Yeah... maybe... which hand of Pavlik's is broken?

Offering Winky a shot at Pavlik before he won the title is like offering Mosley a fight with Berto right now. Do you think Mosley takes that?

definitely no reason for Winky to have taken that fight. Unfortunately Winky hasn't managed to earn anythign since. I think there's a good chance they could fight eachother at some point relatively soon. However, I think anyone who believes the MW division owes Winky any fight he wants on his terms is fooling themselves. At this point he is gonna have to adjust to Pavlik's demands.

I wouldn't say the division owes him anything, he got his shot, was robbed IMO, and then voluntarily turned down a shot at a rematch for the title.

But he is still a top contender in the division, number 1 or 2 behind Abraham at worst. He also would bring the highest profile to a fight for Pavlik at 160. Yes, it should be mostly on the champ's terms, but it's not like this is the Winky of 2000 we're talking about. He has a track record and some leverage.
