Hopefully Pavlik puts in a good showing against Lopez. He's still only 29 years old and definitely has the ability to recapture a world title, whether it be at 160, 168 or 175. In hindsight, Pavlik wasn't exactly blown away by Martinez when he lost his title - he was in the fight for at least 8 or 9 rounds, but Martinez' late surge, which was aided by Pavlik's ghastly cut were the major deciding factors in that fight.
Hopefully his time dealing with issues outside of the ring hasn't taken much away from his ability to fight.
