Pavlik can be back as long as he sticks to 160 and gets some of the crispness back which the loss of may be attributed to his problems outside the ring. If you watch the pavlik that beat taylor or miranda his 1-2 is very fast and crisp, and then after he just started looking more slugish and slugish. He's only had 2 defeats, one at the hands of an atg, and one to a very good fighter in martinez and pavlik made that decently competitive if I remember right, no shame in that. So yeah I think he can definitely be back as long as he straightens out his life.
