    This furthers my claim that Bob Arum is a douchebag.

        There must be a good reason why he cancelled...

        You think he cancelled it because he didn't wanted to make more money?? That's he's job...

          Well I was the glad the fight didnt happen!

          Bring on AA or Kessler. Thats the fight people want. Arum was good IMO for pulling Pav. This was an easy win and nobody cared to see it. I like Mora (dont laugh at me!!!!) but he would have lost!

          I want to see Pav with AA or Kessler..... or even Williams. Somebody where he is not the favorite!

            - why Sergio Mora?
            - why not Abraham?
            - why not Sturm, Wright or Williams?

            Kelly had to fight the mandatories Rubio and Lockett to keep his titles, but there's absolutely no good reason to fight Mora.
            when are we going to admit that sturm isn't going to fight any top guys. leave him out of it!

              True.

              We might have had Pavlik-Abraham by now if not for Arum. Pavlik, Abraham and Sauerland are all willing to do it.

              And Goossen, Pavlik and Williams are willing to go for Williams-Pavlik

              Arum is the barrier to these fights.

                Kessler is another one. I didn't see the most recent info on him, but I don't really see him as an active boxer.

                Pavlik needs to fight AA. It's simple, the two best MW's in the world vs each other. His stock will still be high unless he gets blown out, and if he wins he's back on his way to superstardom.

                really, he should ditch Jack Loew and get a better trainer, take two fights, then fight AA if he is still around.

                  Sturm is good enough to fight the top guys. Who doesn't remember him getting robbed against de la Hoya in Cali? He just has a tough time getting fights.
                  Mora would have given Pavlik fits becuas eof his awkward style but in the end, Pavlik's power is just to much.
                  Pavlik and Abraham makes the most sense. Make it happen. No if, ands or buts. It will be an epic battle.

                    Well I think Kessler would be a hell of a tune up for Pav before he fights AA. I dont like AA but he would be a tough fight for Pav. It would be a really BAD move to go right after AA. But either way I would like to see him face Kessler and then AA.
