the middleweight division is in trouble

PW by KO. Sounds crazy but the turning pav would have to do to catch PW will make him dizzy. Plus PW has the reach advantage as well so he wont give that up too easily.

PW hasn't proved himself at 154 let alone 160.
I'd have to see him fight a contender in those higher weight classes to even consider this scenario.

I definetely expect Pavlik to come back stronger and better than ever. He's the best MW out there and hopefully he gets a chance to prove it with fights against Sturm and Abraham this year.

If Williams fought Pavlik how do you see it going?

pavlik by 3rd round ko

It aint time for a new avatar larry? There's plenty other pics to choose from lol. Anyway...

Obviously I expect Kelly to win against Rubio. And I don't think the Bernard loss will affect Pavlik much. Hopefully him and Abraham will get in there soon. I think he's gonna have trouble with good boxers tho. Kelly comes str8 forward and is slow on his feet.

Pavlik aint gonna change, he will be the same fighter, its about matchmaking, they just wont put him in with someone who can move and is as good as Hop. The Rubio's of the world is what was groomed on before Taylor, thats what they are going back to.

Pavlik on the comeback trail, Rubio isnt a bad opponent after his first loss.

You guys do realize Marco Antonio Rubio is a pretty good middleweight. Im sure some will be quick to call him a bum after Pavlik beats him. Hes a legit top 5 ranked middleweight in the world. (ESPN and *********).

Also I love how because Pavlik is the best middle, people are so quick to say its a weak divison. But just a few years ago when Hopkins was number 1, im sure it was stacked.

If Rubio is smart he wont stand in front of pav like lockett. hit him and move to the side. keep him at angles. That str8 right can only go str8. Keep him moving and not let him get set and he is done! I see nothing spectacular in pavs. AA is the king of the division in my opinion.

u see npthing special in pavlik, but u do in aa? he a tough punching bag that hits back.... that it......

aa would be destroyed by jermain taylor
