Well, I think it's only natural for a manager to bring a fighter along fairly cautiously. Look what those bastards did to Reed, essentially throwing him to the wolves before he had a chance to get a good pedigree under him.
What intrigues me about this fight is that it matches two big punchers who could possibly be the future of the division.
I don't think that Pavlik will be moving up to Super-Middleweight until he gets a title at middleweight.
