Sergio Martinez vs. Paul would do.

They need strip him of those titles. But then... I'd hate for Sturm to get them.

Thats a real shame for paul, alot of the black community where I live thought Pavlik would beat him because they think Pavlik is better and I guess ppl only look at the quintana loss on williams record. I don't know why they thought that, personally I thought williams would spank Pavliks ass for a decision win.

I just read on ESPN that Top Rank's pulling out completely so the Quintana/Clottey fight is off as well.

Pavlik's infection not healing, so title fight is off

The staph infection in a finger on the left hand of middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik still has not healed, so his Dec. 5 title defense against Paul Williams was called off on again on Wednesday.

Kelly Pavlik's life is out of control. He has substance issues to resolve.
