WBO/WBC middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik, speaking for the first trime since his title defense against Sergio Mora was postponed last week, says that he was well enough to move forward with the fight. The fight was cancelled last week after Top Rank claimed that Pavlik was suffering from a staph infection in his hand. The fight was scheduled to headline a Top Rank pay-per-view on June 27 at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Top Rank is looking to replace the Pavlik fight with Juan Manuel Lopez defending his WBO super bantamweight title. [details]

So, if Pavlik is medically cleared to fight, why isn't the fight happening? The artiicle doesn't exactly make that clear, although I assume at present nobody really knows. 'Joke' or not, Mora deserves more than a bull**** excuse.

Sounds like Pavlik is trying to buy more time so AA can get tired of waiting and forget about him and move up in weight. I personally think that if Pavlik really wanted to fight AA he would've done it already or atleast push for the fight to happen soon. This article didn't say if they fight was officially back on or not.

Here's how much I loathe this potential bout: I would raher see Pavlik fight Sebastian Zbik (WBC #1, WBO #2) than Mora.
But seriously, he needs to fight AA already. This is getting ridiculous.

Atrhur Abraham made an impact by knocking Edison Miranda out on American soil and made a statement that he would love to fight Oscar De La Hoya and Kelly Pavlik. Now Oscar is retired, Pavlik is around. And the millions of fans across the world want to see both of them in action. Pavlik ought to tell AA to come to the US to fight him. AA would be willing to come to fight. Just let the fight happen.
