Froch: I want to shut Pavliks mouth in Nottingham

[beenKOed]

I want Pavlik vs Froch. I like Kelly because he doesn't talk a lot of trash. I like Carl because he's so intense, everything is life or death with the guy. I think Froch wins, but Pavlik is a hard, sharp and accurate
puncher if he gets close enough. This is one of those, what if, fights for me. I want to see the fight not ask, what if.

I would love to see Pavlik get hammered into submission....come on Froch!

I like Froch and would love to see him fight Pavlik.
But..... why the qualifier? (in Nottingham)

Just say you want to shut his mouth wherever.

Because Froch is the champion and currently has several options. He would be doing Pavlik a favour to give him this payday. Pavlik has fought no-one since Martinez beat him.

Because as a proud British fighter and the title holder he is probably sick to the back teeth of Americans thinking their homeland is the mecca of Boxing and that any title fight that means anything should be held there.

Well to be honest the US has some great boxing venues, it's undeniable. I certainly don't begrudge Froch in wanting to defend his title (especially if it's an optional defense) in his back yard, that's part of the advantage you earn by being a champion.

I don't know about being the mecca of boxing anymore, but the U.S. does still get it's share of big/title fights. It has more to do with money, then anything else.

Errr..they think it because it is

Pavlik should come to Nottingham to get his arse handed to him in this case - just not to satisfy your patriotism.

The more rational reason is because he's the legit number 2 in the division and Kelly Pavlik hasn't done anything since Martinez. If we get the Pavlik of old, he could give us some exciting moments on his way to being K.O'd by Carl..

Hearn has said that Kessler is demanding a fortune for the rematch so obviously negotiations have been delayed.

Would be good for us UK fans to see one our best fighters fight a big american name on UK soil, doesn't happen very often.

Even if Froch were to beat Pavlik and Kessler I don't see Ward coming over here for a rematch. He is the daddy in the division and gets to dictate where the fight happens. That is fair. To be honest I don't think Froch would have a problem going back to America for the rematch he would just be grateful for a chance at redemption.

Pavlik won't be an easy fight though.

At super middleweight, Pavlik just has not performed as effectively as he did as a middleweight. It's because his power hasn't translated at 168. Froch is a career super middleweight with a decent chin. Froch's also been in with better competition his last few fights. Not a good recipe for Pavlik. The only thing in Pavlik's favor is that he looked better against a common opponent in Jermain Taylor. If I'm Pavlik's people, I would negotiate with Bute, Froch and Kessler's people right now for the best deal. Does everyone agree that for a stay-busy type opponent, he's the best option out there?
