According to ESPN.com, Cameron Dunkin, Pavlik's manager, learned about the developments from Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, who is Pavlik's promoter.

Wards a duck

Damn, Ward's been hurt a lot the past year. He's going to be someone who's probably got 5-6 prime top fights left at the rate he's going.

Great news for Bute. He'll easily KO Pavlik and in in the aftermath, the boxing world will demand Ward takes his ass kicking or be stripped.

He'll have to pull a Ridduck Bowe if he's gonna continue his ducking of Lucian Bute.

pavlik has a punchers chance against bute.
butt bute against ward no way. froch showed what happens when bute steps up and fights the elite.
lucien better stay at home and fight second tiers to retain his glory.

Bute is nothing more than a STUD MUFFIN! 2 fights against top 5 opponents & his career is over (nice guy thou). Ward proly best in world now that Floyd is older & finally hittable! Brute is Canada's Canelo that's all.

I do hope injury isn't going prevent Ward from fighting twice in 2013.

Pavlik vs Bute

Injury happens in boxing, am sure Pavlik would understand that too.

If Froch could knock out Bute I don't see why Pavlik wouldn't be able to do the same.
