I'm not impressed by that really. Pavlik has seen two big fights slip by and he isn't willing to work to keep a winning streak going with his new trainer? I don't get it, why would you do that? There has to be something going on with Pavlik.

I heard him in an interview a few months ago sounding drunk and bitter about things and this sounds random too and so I wouldn't be surprised if he is just drunk and bitter again.

There is no need to retire. He is still a very good boxer and there are fights to be won. He seems to be of the idea that it is a big pay day or nothing. You have to work towards that when you have fallen. He isn't Ricky Hatton with a mammoth fanbase. He has to work at things, it seems he just doesn't want to do that.
