      It would be better if Pavlik had a confidence-builder against a clubfighter at 168 first.

      Good fight for the fall of 2010.
      He's faced enough club fighters. Plus, I don't think it'll do anything for his confidence. Bute will be too quick and smart for him.

          Seems like HBO is grooming Bute to be their next showcase fighter and offering Kelly Pavlik as a sacrificial lamb. It will be interesting to see if Arum invests more time and money into building him as a super-middleweight/light-heavyweight or goes the easier route of matching him against an elite fighter on HBO. I think it will be the latter because his marketability is very limited. Roberto is probably thinking about cashing out on Kelly at this time.

            too early for Pavlik. His first appearance in the super middleweight. He is coming from a painfull loss. Pavliks chances is a lucky punch.

              Bute would destroy Pavlik....repeat of the Hopkins fight. Bute is like a bigger Martinez with better power.

                  However he does have the power to stop Bute.
                  He has much of a choice when it comes to money fights? What a foolish post.

                    Ok, get this through your thick skull - SM is BETTER for Pavlik. I hope you don't need to ask why...

                      1 over rated SMW v a now correctly rated former over rated MW

                      Bute takes it, but not as easily as u all think. Dont know how he gets so much praise on here, Pavlik would be his toughest opponent to date. And thats saying something.
