Froch: I want to shut Pavliks mouth in Nottingham

[Tam Seddon]

I personally think Pavlik wouldn't come to Nottingham to fight Froch. It's far too risky for his second coming and would he get paid enough to get beat? Unless Pavlik really does think Froch isnt that good and he is more than capable of coming to the UK to beat him I don't think he should be saying anything really. I hope he doesn't price himself out, and let's this fight happen.

I would love the Kessler fight to happen, but we haven't heard much about that recently and this would be a fight that would be an acceptable replacement for Froch. I just hope Pavlik really is up for the challenge and sees this as his genuine opportunity to get himself back to the top. Not just calling out Froch for the sake of it and Pavlik not backing himself up by coming to face the champion who is giving Pavlik a potential shot at his crown.

Hope it happens though, would be a great fight, but as i said before I would be concerned if Pavlik was willing to travel to get his ass beaten.

I hope this fight does happen. Froch can be dragged into a brawl and Pavlik can bang. I think Froch has his number all day long but you never know with a big puncher like Pavlik. He was getting destroyed against Taylor first time around and then his power turned it for him. Good matchup IMO.

He can't bang at 168. Doesn't look like it so far anyway. Donaire did and interview recently blaming his leg cramps* on warming up for over an hour before he got into the ring and he warmed up for so long because he was told Pavlik would flatten his opponent in a couple of rounds. So Top Rank were expecting Pavlik to blow the guy away and he didn't. I don't think he's stopped anyone at 168 and can't remember him even coming close to it. I don't think he has the same power at 168 anyway.

*actually a well-known side-effect of A-side meth.

Froch got rocked in the early going of his fight against Taylor too and it took him 12 rounds to figure Taylor out. It only took Pavlik 6-7.

Pavlik versus Froch would be an entertaining fight. It doesn't hurt that they don't like each other.
