    Yeah, seriously, does this fight really have to happen? Is there any appeal at all, other than the pre-fight trash talking? Mayorga has name recognition, but that's about it. Kelly should be in there against Abraham, Sturm -- anybody but this turd. Not a fight I'd be looking forward to.

      Do you know who Marco Antonio Rubio is? He's a good fighter.

      And he's 20x the fighter Gary Lockett was.
      If he's 20x the fighter then Gary Lockett, then that means he's slightly above Bum status

      The first time I heard the name Rubio was when he was mentioned as a possible opponent for Pavlik. Other than that, no never heard of him (and I'm sure 99.9999999998% of america is the same).

      Regardless, a fight with Mayorga would be about 7 billion times more entertaining.

      And of course I would rather have Pavlik fight someone else, but if I have to choose between the two: Mayorga > Rubio

      Besides, obviously the game plan here is for Pavlik to win which will set up a fight with Calzaghe later down the road.

        He might be a good fighter, but he's been knocked out by Kofi Juntah (sp)

        In Abraham's second defense he fought Kofi. In Pavlik's second defense he plans to fight Rubio???? What the ****?

          Im not interested in watching Pavlik walk through another lackluster opponent in under 5 rounds.

            Unless Kelly decides to jump weight soon, he will eventually have to fight Rubio. The WBC wants it to happen.

              I love Mayorga. With that being said, I'd honestly be concerned for his health.

              It'll be one hell of a fight while it lasts and the press conferences are GUARANTEED to be hilarious.

                that would not be a gd fight. If anything i would to see Edison Miranda vs Kelly again cause he said he did a little bad cause struggling with weight. If not JC then

                  why not, it's not a competitive fight, but what it is, is the tale of two things the boxing world wants and wants dearly, 1) everyone in the sports world wants to see pavlik knock another guy out! 2) everyone in the sports world wants to see mayorga get knocked out!

                  two birds with one stone, it adds to pavliks' highlight reel with a spectacular ko of "the mouth" mayorga.............

                  but make no mitstake about this match up, it's a nothing fight!!! other than to help seel pavlik, which isnt a bad move in itself.
