    This Pavlik hate that goes on is ****** imo, I think the guy is good for the sport, seems quite humble, didnt act like a ***** when he got whooped by bernard.

    Kelly has a plan and he sticks to it, he's not technically great, but he's effective, you gotta respect that.

    This whole Abraham thing is outta control, his skill set is weak and he's a poor mover. If he was a great lateral mover like hopkins, or a guy who takes a away a fighters jab, then i could understand the hype, but those are fighters who give kelly trouble and Abraham is none of those.
    i agree man. people are in love with his power, but that's all he really has. pavlik is not the greatest by any means, but he is a far better boxer than aa. aa could never lose, and ko everyone he ever faces, but it still does not change the fact that that's all he has. i think they have kept his opposition as such.

      Pavlik isn't a ducker he should take this fight. It's the biggest one at MW until Danny Jacobs and the rest of the young stars reach their peak.

        I like Pavlik. But how long can you be considered the best MW if you fight nothing but bums? He needs to step up and beat someone who matters sometime this year or I think people will start losing intrest in him. HBO already began to lose intrest, he'll find himself fighting on Versus or something. He beat Taylor, but who else. Lockett, Rubio, maybe Mora now, is this guy seriously considered the best? He did act like a ***** when he lost to Bernard, he made excuses blaming the weight. His second fight with Taylor was at 168, why did he not have a problem then? Because it wasn't the weight, Hopkins exposed him.

            He's the best because he beat the undisputed MW champ, twice.

            And hopkins has exposed a few fighters, no shame in that, he's a true legend and was made for pavlik stylistically.

            Abraham has power, thats all ive seen from him, and I havent seen all these big names he's beaten, maybe someone would like to tell me them and ill try and get the fights and take a look.

              This fight needs to happen, but if I was Pavlik I wouldn't take it in Germany either. **** that.

                In this bad recession, $3 million is a huge payday; if I was Kelly's financial advisor I'd force him to take that fight. There's no reason why this fight can't be made now...

                  And another thing, why does it matter if the fight's in Germany? This fight ain't going the twelve rounds..

                    Abraham rarely takes a punch he isn't ready for. I see the might more than likely going the distance with Pavlik winning 10 rounds Abraham in full retreat in his turtle shell down the stretch.

                      Pavlik beats Abraham by decision IMO. Arthur has great power but lacks the skills to hang with an elite guy like Pavlik.
