HBO Approves 4 Options For Pavlik

[Shattered Jaw]

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.

Agreed. Williams makes great sense too but we all know Goosen is a Grade A crack smoker.

Pavlik would do they same to Winky as did Paul Williams did.

You say that but you know damn well Top Rank Arum & Jack won't go near a fighter who can box and has good defense. I would pay to see him fight Winky beyond that ****'em he's a bum and he was exposed anyone that can box won't get to fight him again thanks to Hopkins and Arum will make sure it don't happen.

[Deja_Vous]

If he fights Winky that is a Disgrace. Pavlik is in the bin of disgrace at the moment. Only a dominant performance over Sturm or a career ending KO over Martinez would lift him out.

Sturm was KTFO by the shot to hell ghost of Javier Castillejo.

A win over him don't mean jack****.

Sturm doesnt make sense because for the fight to money pavlik would have to go to the challengers home in Germany, And sturm would want a lot of money to fight pavlik as well just like he did with AA which makes the fight falls through...So your option of sturm is less then what you're making it out to be.

[Jone2ts]

Williams & Winky are the only two fights that are reasonable, he already ahd a chance to tune up on a C level Espn fighter and him & arum lied to get out the match. He needs to fight a young Williams or an Old Schoool vet in Winky beyond that it's a useless meaningless fight being that most of the meaningful fights for him are against men in the SMW Turney and he can't fight them anyway.

[Burner]

Stop avoiding PWill *****!

That sure as hell got my vote.

And its leading the polls right now...LMFAO.

[badnewsbrown]

winky is still better than those other 3 guys. but i really wanna see a pwill fight.

[Iceta]

Sturm shouldn't even be mentioned for two reasons. First of all, HBO is only offering $2 million for Pavlik and Sturm to split down the middle. So that tells me that Sturm doesn't bring that much to the table, and he also looked like **** in his last fight. And Wright getting a shot at Pavlik would show everything wrong with boxing. It's not that Winky probably couldn't give Pavlik some problems, but how would that make things look if Pavlik fought Paul's left overs? That doesn't sit well with me at all. I think Goosen made a mistake by offering a 50-50 split. If he offered Pavlik a little more money, then it would make it really look like Williams is avoided. Not so much now. It is up to Arum and Pavlik to counter offer though, but nobody is holding a gun to their head saying they have to. Boxing is becoming a depressing sport because of these hard ass promoters and money being the dictator of everything.

[MANGLER]

I'd luv to see Winky kick his ass. He got enuf left to UD Pavlik imo.

According to german media the fights worth 7 million euros a piece. That's possibly slightly exagerrated, but one or two million less would still give Pavlik (and Sturm) career paydays.

I doubt that anybody else can provide Pavlik with such a purse. Not Williams. Not Mundine. Not Winky.
