I hope Pavlik grows some balls and fights Abraham next

how about get paid and not get robbed?

It happens. More than you think.
The only questionable things I've seen lately from germany is a promoter ringing the bell one minute early round and a ref helping a fighter up after getting knocked down.

The rest of the decisions lately have been quite good.

Yeah he's only had one fght since then and it was mandatory, was he supposed to fight in the States again?

why not? he's armenian right? plenty of armenians in the US.

its too risky unless you're like dawson and need to fight calzaghe who is retiring.

May be so but he wouldn't attract more fans than he does in Germany and he'd get paid more money. If he wants a big fight he'll go to the states, he went for Miranda. MM isn't filled with big names so I don't blame him for fighting in Germany.

So it's not just Germany where in your view all fights are dubious decisions, but now the UK aswell?

but sturm lost to the spanish guy... castillejo or something

That Spanish fighter Castillejo was a good boxer, but past prime now.

Losing to him was no disgrace.

Again, considering aruably seven of the top ten Middles fight out of Germany, whose fighting tougher comp where? AA has traveled and won on a showcase premium cable U.S. card. He may need to do it one more time, but this isn't just about money. It's about risk. AA poses it in spades.

spoken like a true nuthugger.

Huh? From a Pavlik fan club guy, that's rich.

Seriously...the risk-reward ratio isn't higher for Abraham than Duddy (or any other mentioned name)? There aren't more top ten Middles based in Germany? I just want to see the two best Middleweights fight same as most. When facts become nuthugging, that's spooky.
