At 160 lbs Pavlik-Abraham the only fight that matters

[lparm]

With Pavlik being the linear mw champ and Abraham the #1 contender why hasn't this fight been made yet. The talk about Abraham-Sturm is more alphabet politricks leaving the fans out in the cold from the only fight at 160 that matters.

Pavlik won't fight Abraham next, 2 defeats in a row would seriously damage his career

Kelly is arguably the harder hitter and seemingly has better stamina at the lower weight. If he doubles the jab before unloading the right like he did against Taylor I see him taking prince arthur out.

I want Abraham vs. Sturm now. Pavlik needs a confidencebuilder or 2 before taking on the winner.

The best medicine for Pav is getting back in there with a top pro. That's the test he needs to see what he's made of. We don't need another protected champ, and I don't think Pav has it in him to hide from challenges. Pav-Abraham is the only mw fight that should be made.

Either fighter versus Sturm makes perfect sense too.

Sturm is a good fighter but I think he gets too much credit for his performance against DLH, who's a bad mw. Sturm was stopped by the aging castillejo and really hasn't beaten a highly ranked mw other than euro pro Sylvester. I'd pick Abraham and Pav over Sturm big. Pav-Abraham is the fight the fans and the division need to keep the mws relevant.

No one is really interested in Sturm/Abraham other than Germans. Pavlik/Abraham needs to be made ASAP. Sturm will get KO'd by either Pavlik or Abraham. Pavlik get KO'd by Abraham.

I believe Pavlik is signed to fight Rubio in February. Abraham will most likely be fighting Sturm here soon, which I want over with, so when Pav and Arthur meet in probably early summer, he can own the whole division when he knocks Abraham out.

The plan as far as i know is to have Abraham try to get a fight with WINKY WRIGHT for early '09, and have Pavlik fight RUBIO at around the same time period, and then match the two fighters together in the summer.

If Abraham can be Wright then Pavlik-Abraham would be a huge fight
