Comments Thread For: Kelly Pavlik Ponders a Possible Stay at Middleweight

[onechance87]

Pavlik would whoop Andrade's ass, and anyone that disagrees, please bet me. I can see Pavlik wanting to stay at MW, and maybe challenge Danny Jacobs if he gets a title. I think the majority of the top level fighters at 168 hand Pavlik his ass.

Well he should fight andrade then if its such a easy fight.Hbo will approve
this fight.Theres a reason why pavlik dont want it.Pavlik is a brawler,
And thats one thing you dont do,Is brawl with andrade.Thats why i
wanna see this fight.Has all out war written over it.

I really think Pavlik would have a chance against Williams. Sure he's not as fast as him and he can't box as good, but its not like Williams doesn't stand in front of fighters and throw hundreds of punches. Well Pavlik can do the same thing, just 3 times harder. That would be a closer fight than everyone thinks. He would even have a shot at KOing P.Will.

Pavlik is fucked
nothing to do at 160 but get murked my Paul or Sergio again
can't beat anyone at 168

I can see em face paul williams at mw.But is lost alot of appeal to it
cause martinez whopped there asses.They need comeback fights,Then
face each other.

I would favor pavlik by ko.I still wanna see this fight,But they need to
get back on the winning trail.

His excuse for losing to Martinez was weight issues. He also went up to 170 in less than 24 on fight night didn't he?


Why would he want to stay at 168?


Is the weight an issue or not? And who at 160 is there to fight? All the big names are at 168 in the mid weights.

Pavlik can make some exciting fights with the following; Williams, Sturm, Andrade for now. Later on a fight Abraham, Froch would also make for good match ups and good money. Will any of those guys become a champion?

I like Pavlik vs Williams. Paul just stands there throwing hundreds of punches, and that may work with some but i see Pavlik walking through those and landing rights like Martinez did. If Pavlik can land those right hands it will be lights out for Pwill. On another note, what I got from this article was that Pavlik can't hack it up at 168 where the real talent is so he'd much rather keep struggling to make weight and stay at 160 where he might not get too embarrassed. Understandable.

I don't see why Pavlik should stay at middleweight...he had major problems getting down to 160 before,and he always will.

He would have trouble making 168 as well,and the competition is far too difficult-guys like Dirrell, Ward, and Bute would make him look like an idiot.He would make some great fights with Abraham, Kessler, Andrade and Froch though....His career is over-or perhaps on a lengthy hold.

If a nutritionist can help Pavlik make 160 comfortably, then I see no reason why he shoudn't stay. There's some potentially excellent fights for Pavilk as mentioned in the article.

Other than that Pavlik should just double the fucking jab!

Reliable sources have advised BoxingScene.com that former middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik is seriously considering the possibility of staying at 160-pounds. I've heard Pavlik and his team have discussed the possible direction of remaining in the middleweight division. [Click Here To Read More]

he moves slow when he moves up in weight...so if you ask me it is a bad move to want to move up....stick to middleweight division..

That sounds familiar! lol
As funny as that sounds,I wish he would just double the jab... just so we wouldn't have to hear Jack Leow parrot himself in every fight! lol
