Pavliks Are Upset With Top Rank

[Datu Puti]

That was a waste of a PPV, definetly won't sell except in youngstown Ohio..Mora is a bum, powerless who doesn't warrant a PPV..Fighting mora would not make PAVLIKS resume match better. He should fight Abraham and Sturm to unify and possibly go up to fight Carl Froch in the future. Pavlik vs Mora would only interest people if it was sparring nothing more or free on HBO. I thought that bout on PPV was a joke..Arum has been doing this for a long time so he knows what the **** he is doing..When everything is all said and done, you want the best match up for the most marbles...

Agreed! But I want Kessler in the mix! I think Kessler then AA! Will it happen? Who knows with Kessler and his team... As far as AA well I know he would be game for it.

I guess the arum saw he couldnt recoup his money paid to pavlik for a pavlik/mora bout. Money! Look no further than money. Pavlik's free meal days are numbered. He has gotta fight the fights that bring the don his money. That top Rank ppv shyt can only do so much.

Well Pavlik, looks like you gotta fight some stiff comp again!

Kessler is possibly out of action for another year:

Yea I know. I just wish he could get things right so he could get back in the ring again!

Damn, imagine if by the end of the year Arum lost Pavlik and Cotto?

With Manny's retirement looming, Top Rank would be in big, big trouble.

Top Rank had matched him well up to the time he won the titles. Since then, it's been poor matchmaking:

- Hopkins was a bad style match for Kelly in an unnecessary fight
- 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.

hopkins was a bad style match for Kelly in an unnecessary?
hopkins loss with calzaghe and in that moment pavlyk was the new monzon.
and paul williams is a bad still to

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.

I dont think he has a tough time getting fights he just doesnt seem to want to fight the best fighter at MW, Him and his promoters seem content fighting the mediocre fighter while defending his title in germany.

AA and his team wanted to fight sturm and they duck the fight for a lot of money from what i heard but i dont blame him for not coming to fight in America after the way the robbed him in the De la hoya fight.

IMO I think arum wants to see what kinda cash juanma can bring in, juanma is the next big thing & let's face it after Kelly lost to bhop & didn't look rly explosive vs Rubio I guess arum feels he won't make much $ of him anymore I meen after the bhop loss he lost lots of credebility from non youngs towners. So I guess the switch meens out with the old & in with the new
