Pavlik vs. Abraham is Being Eyed For Early 2010

I ll believe it when i see it

I'm with you 100%.

Sure, it's being "eyed," but there's a big difference between being "eyed" and actually getting done.

Jones-Hopkins II was "eyed" for years. Et al.

Pavlik really needs this fight. He has had ZERO interesting middleweight title defenses.

It's about ****in time.

That fight needed to happen a long time ago. About the only exciting fight at middleweight.

This is bloody disgraceful. These fighters should be fighting this year, and not too long from now either. I'm looking forward to seeing a new Pavlik. He was demolished, broken down by Hopkins. However, even Hopkins acknowledged the fact that the loss was actually GOOD for Pavli, and will make him a better fighter. He also said that he expects Pavlik to go far in the sport. He was shaky against rubio (who is a C class fighter), but I feel that got his confidence back. With that confidence and the lessons he was taught by a lacklustre performance against his elder and better (B-hop). I look forward to Pavlik coming out with guns blazing, and I wouldn't rule out a KO on his part. All things aside, make the bloody thing happen already. To delay further is an insult to the fans.

I really hope we still don't have to watch Pavlik vs Mora.

I know the middleweight division is lacking. But why can't Kelly fight someone better than Mora.

How about they just make the fight everyone wants to see this fall? No one cares if a belt is on the line - everyone has a belt in boxing now, Chad Dawson is doing the right thing by giving fans the fight they want to see. We respect that.

you know this fight has been talked about for so long, I think its already lost some of its buzz. the excitement for this fight has already reached its peak and can only decline the further they postpone it when neither needs to take on another opponent.

Doesn't AA fight at 154 too? Why would he be weight drained at 160?

I hadn't heard that Pavlik is having difficulty making the MW limit? Has anyone heard this before?
