Pavlik is still young and developing. Let him establish his legs with top middleweight competition for a few more fights and then let him move up. There are still many interesting fights at Middleweight he can dapple into. Why put him into superfights when he has not proven himself totally yet? Let the man make some defenses and some money first.

I find right now he still fights with too much of a machismo mindset at times and he has to correct that. Let the Joe/Kessler winner fight Hopkins for now.
