    Will Pavlik Unify Middleweight Division?

    In The Ring ratings Kelly Pavlik, Arthur Abraham and Felix Sturm are the top 3 in that order. Pavlik holds WBC, WBO and Ring belts, Sturm holds WBA and Abraham holds IBF belt. All fighters have good records Abraham and Pavlik undefeated and Sturm with only 2 losses and they are all in their mid to late 20s. In my mind having Abraham fight Sturm with the winner facing Pavlik to unify the Middleweight division would be 2 great fights that would mean a lot to the boxing world. Also as long as Sturm can defeat Sebastien Sylvester in his upcoming WBA title defence. I think Abraham would beat Sturm setting up 2 undefeated fighters with all the belts on the line as long as Pavlik can beat Hopkins to remain undefeated. Even if Pavlik loses against Hopkins the fight would still be good for Middleweight division.

    Do you guys think Pavlik would be interested in unifying the division after Hopkins?

      Pavlik seems interested in Bhop, then Calzaghe, and not really much else.

        Sturm doesnt want to fight Abraham,

        by the sounds of things today im not sure how long more Abraham will be at MW, he might move up very soon, Pavlik seems to be hoping for Calzaghe, maybe he wont come down to MW again

        whatever happens i want to see Pavlik Vs Abraham either at 160 or 168

          I dont see him having one problem with doing it. AA will fall to Pavlik. His Jaw will break yet once again. I think AA is good, but I dont think he will beat Pav.

            Pavlik would beat Abraham, they're both my boys but I think Pavlik's workrate and power would be too much. He would win a UD in a good fight vs. Abraham.

            Pavlik is gonna unify pretty soon, I would think.

              I dont think Pavlik stays at 160. If he beats Hopkins, he'll probably defend the MW belt, and if he's successful, I'd expect him to move up to 168 or 175.

                Hopefully after B-hop he goes back down to 160, where i think he will beat Abraham and unify. Though Pavlik only seems interested in the legend killer thing at the moment. Hopefully he will do the right thing.

                  As long as Sturm holds a belt, neither Pavlik or AA can unify the divison. Sturm has already rejected the biggest payday he can get to fight AA. I doubt he will take a fight with Pavlik. The unifcation will happen between AA and Pav, then both guys will prolly move up to smw.
