    I think it would be a good idea to put AA against a taylor or someone close to his abilities before pavlik.

    not saying miranda is garbage (he doesnt have much technical ability but a ton of heart) but arthur shouldnt get a free pass...he should fight taylor. that would be a good fight in my opinion.

      of course not but there isnt alot of top notch 160 fighters at the moment, The only big fight at 160 would have to be Pavlik/Abraham....unless someone like Winky can still make 160.

        Why?? Common you are just frightened that Pavlik could lose his title against this german guy right?? Hes IBF champ and that alone makes this fight for both man interesting if they want to be the undisputed middleweight champion!

          Well he Ko'd Miranda quicker and easier than Pavlik did, holds a valid world title and is undefeated. Is there a worthier challenger to Pavlik than Arthur? Marco Rubio? ffs.

            Taylor's a SMW now. And if Pavlik can fight a Lockett, he can most certainly fight AA. Let's make it happen.

              I would really like to see a fight between Abraham and Sturm to unify their titles since Pavlik looks set to have a fight later in the year in Ohio. The winner of Abraham-Sturm then fights Pavlik, although I doubt it'll happen.

                I think they should both fight John Duddy in a tag team match then they can put that little chapter to bed.

                  I like this scenario. AA made his splash, and people remember Sturm gettin ****ed against DLH. A unified champ emerging from that fight challenging kelly makes a lotta sense. But AA said he's gonna do the Marquez fight and Pavlik wants an Ohio homecomin fight so I agree the chances of this are slim.

                    He's on SEVEN defenses of the IBF belt, with two wins over Miranda, one of them quicker than Pavlik beat him.

                    It's overwhelmingly obvious that Kelly needs to fight him, with AA a slight favorite.

                      I'm sure I won't be the first to say this, but knocking out Miranda DOES give you a shot at the man in the MW division.... how do you think Moby got his shot?
