Remember when Kelly Pavlik was "the next big thing" in the US

[FreshPrince]

If Arum still has dreams of Pavlik facing Mora it better be on the undercard of Pacquiao vs Cotto, not a damn ppv headliner.

i was right there wit u. picked miranda to stop pavlik.

I remember when Edison Miranda was the considered next Middleweight champion of the world. When Pavlik-Miranda was coming up, an overwhelming majority of people on here were picking Miranda to win it by KO. Me included, not gonna lie.

MAN, do times change or what?

Hell I would even take the Mora fight now!LOL

It is almost like Arum placed him on hold after Hopkins beat him. There is talk about him being matched up with Sturm or Froch. We'll see how it pans out i guess.

I don't think we will see a Pavlik Abraham fight. Money or something made them stop talking. Arum is in a tough spot though. Pavlik is not really a big name, but you can be guaranteed that pavlik and Abraham will want big money to lock horns. Arum does not want to throw his money away.

Pavlik and Abraham fighting non threatening opposition is not going to give them any momentum for a clash either.

I think Arum should put his ego aside and contact William's camp. Williams nor Pavlik have anything lined up. It came close to happening before. Make it happen.

It is an intriguing fight and will answer questions about both fighters.

i remember when lacy was the next big thing

Personally, it looks as if his career has been ruined by Hopkins.

He got Schooled silly, and hard to tell if he has recovered.

I would not say he is "Not he next big thing".

He already has made an impact beating Taylor and other wins. He is still undpisuted at MW, so that say's it all.

Just showing he is struggling to recover from his first loss.
