Abraham Stops Ayala, Increases Pavlik Mandate

[Muttley85]

Muttley: I'm not overlooking Winky; he's just not active enough and hasn't done anything of note at Middleweight in far too long. I recognize that Abraham has not defeated a World champ yet but he's earned the right to challenge. He's, IMO, the most deserving contender to the World Middleweight champion by proxy of what he's been doing at Middleweight. This isn't a P4P rating.

In relation to Winky's activity he's 36 and traveled around the world coming up the hard way. I dont think he would have gained anything by fighting guys like Ayala and El****. Hes gone after the last two true middleweight champions before Pavlik and given a good account of himself. You say Ike Quartey wasnt a middleweight opponent but AA opponents Jantuah, shannan Taylor, Demers and Gevor where all junior middleweights previously.

Obviously we will have to agree to disagree, but the way i see it is that AA hasnt done enough to deserve a shot more than Winky does. If AA decides to fight someone like Mahir Oral next his stock should start to go down.

abraham takes 12 and 3/4 rds to ko a guy who lost to david banks twice. i am sure pavlik is not too worried about the much overrated abraham.
