      I really dont get it, Pavlik should have been a major/global star by now.
      I think this shows a rift between management and promoter, honestly i think thats the problem, pavlik as of late has been giving these floyd mayweather esque interviews that dont suit him as of late, behind closed doors i think there is alot going on that we dont know about. But right now, pavlik is not must see tv and hed be a b-side to anyone he faces, including williams IMO.

        The only real option is Sturm, its the only meaningful fight. What the hell has winky done to warrant it, its no win situation for Pavlik if he takes that fight

          Since Williams is unable to land a big WW fight at the moment, who is a bigger fight for him at either MW or JMW than Pavlik? (WBC, WBO, Ring Champ, undefeated at MW)

                Winky doesn't make sense at this point, I don't think Sturm would fight him, he won't get any credit for beating Martinez and Pavlik has looked like crap both times he ventured north of MW. Williams makes the most sense at this point. Take 50-50, just make it happen.
                No, I meant the new offer that's in today's news.

                  Seriously Winky Wright.... why? Sergio Martinez needs to be looking for the belt holders at LMW. Sturm is an easy win for Pavlik if he wants to Unify, P. Willy is the only fight I want to see Pavlik in to be honest.

                    -At 168 he could fight Balszay and if he beats him he could fight Bute who isn't in the tourney.
                    -Felix Sturm is his only option @ 160 besides PWill of course.

                      Sturm: Best fight available. Most money and most recognition.

                      Winky: Zero credit for Pavlik beating a guy already defeated soundly by Williams.

                      Martinez: Lockett, Whobio, Martinez... WTF? ...GTFO!

                      Balszay: Pavlik should stay at 160 for now and Balszay is looking to milk his title with defenses in Germany for the time being according to a recent interview.

                      Williams: Has likely priced himself out with an insane offer of a 50/50 split.

                      So of those mentioned in the poll only Sturm makes sense.
