Well apparently he's fighting Raymond Joval next... Which should tell us about as much as his previous 29 fights have. SOme people think JOval will be a decent test I think, but I should hope not, since as you say PAvlik has talent. The way Joval performed against a half dead bloated Vargas, I wouldn't see him giving any decent middleweight problems.
The Zuniga win was allright and the Joval fight is a slight improvement but a Taylor match would be he should look for now. It is time.
Hes made comments about moving to SMW, just last night they replayed his fight on the VS network against Pierre... I personally arent quite fond him I think he has a big mouth and to make matters worst his fans seem to think he the best thing since sliced bread.
I think at Middleweight Winky, Taylor & Arthur beat him... At SMW theres some interesting match ups there for him Froch vs. Pavlik anyone?
He does like to talk, that is why its time for him to stop beaten up on the mediocre guys and step up to the big time.
He needs to step up or shut up. I don't mind his mouth, I just need to see him back it up by beating some better fighters. I think he can, if he is will to do it.
He seems to have talent, huge too. Just always wonder when a guy is brought up as slow as he has, are his managers worried about something? Maybe they just think its the right way to go, but after Joval he's gotta do something.
I was thinking the same thing ouma, do his people know something about him? I used to think the same of Hatton, I always wondered why he was brought up so slow but with Hatton, he proved himself big time now maybe Pavlik will too.
I saw pavlik's last fight against Leonard Pierre this past week and afterwards Arum spoke and said after 2 more fights or so he thinks pavlik will be ready to move up to the elite fighters. He was pretty impressive in the fight...he's got that insane height for a middleweight at 6'3
