After Hopkins, Pavlik Targets Calzaghe. Abraham Out?

[sylvestersweet]

I understand the desire to fight Hopkins. If Kelly just wanted to wait until Abraham was available and got a win like this against a legend under his belt, than that would be fine. But now he wants to fight Calzaghe who only a few weeks ago said he had no interest in fighting him and that he wanted to retire after his upcoming fight with RJJ. AA-Pavlik would unify the middleweight division! And it would be an incredible match as both men have tons of momentum right now. Calzaghe had his chance, he missed it. After Hopkins, Pavlik MUST fight Abraham.

i agree 100 percent!

It's no wonder Pavlik has lost his hair. Pavlik should flat out refuse to fight Hopkins and demand a middleweight defense. He's the ****ing middleweight champion getting forced to fight a guy who is done and 10 lbs over his weight limit?

What in the **** is Bob Arum smoking?

Hey i want Pavlik vs. Abraham, not against Calzaghe and especially not against Hopkins!! Hopkins should retire!

especially considering it is all in the hopes of chasing a maybe fight against Joe Calzaghe.

Pavlik should just throw those belts of his in the trash. They are useless to him as long as Bob is guiding his fights. If the Hopkins fight was at 164-166 I would not have an issue, but they will kill Pavlik's body making him jump up and down like that.

Not once have I heard Arum mention Abraham's name.

Arum is looking for his last paydays before he retires. This is why we are getting and have been getting bullcrap fights for so long. Arum needs to retire. His time is up. I've been saying this fir a long time. Fighters used to fight prime fighters to enhance their legacy fighting prime fighters. Now we are getting nothing but fights where Arum can stuff his pockets. He will be in the H.O.F. Goodbye Mr. Arum. Boxing doesn't need you anymore.
