Who will be Pavlik's next opponet.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Pavlik V Abraham looms as fight of the year if it happens and it should!

[Pavlik]

Pav vs Abraham for me, this two powerhouses should meet!!!

[Diane]

I would love for it to be Abraham or Kessler, because Uncle Bob keeps hinting that the fight will be here in Cleveland, and I sure as fuk don't want to pay to see him fight Rubio.

Not sure if Abraham is possible, he has already been told that he has to fight his mandatory in Raul Marquez. The only way they can bypass a Abraham/Marquez fight, is paying step aside money with a promise to fight him next. But with Marquez getting older, not sure how willing he would be.

Kessler would be my next pick. Kelly just defended his title against his mandatory, so they can't hold that against him, and make him fight another mandatory right away. So I see this as a possibility.

Calzaghe won't fight Kelly.

And unfortunately, I have a feeling we are going to get stuck with Rubio. He is another fighter under Uncle Bob's control, and I can see him matching them up.

Darkhorse - Winky Wright. He says that he wants to fight Kelly, and that he would fight him here in Cleveland, but I think Winky would probably price himself out. Which is too bad, because I would pay to go see this fight as well.

How do you leave out Winky?

I would rather see Winky or Abraham.

I hope Pavlik vs Kessler doesn't happen quite yet i want to see Pavlik take care of business in his own weight class before he moves up. And even though im a Pavlik fan i would be slighly disappointed if Pavlik moved up and didn't fight Abraham because that would leave a lot of question marks IMO, Let Abraham and Pavlik fight it out and then Pavlik can fight any of the top Super Middleweights, but first Pavlik needs to prove he really is the number 1 man in his division first. And if he can get a fight with Winky then i would love also to see that before Pavlik moved up.

I think it will be Rubio, which is a joke. I think it should be Abraham or if he's busy, then Winky. I'd prefer to see Pavlik (or Abraham) dominate the MW division rather than moving up to SMW. There's just something so great about having a unified MW champion who dominates the division.

I have read interviews were Kelly had said that he would love to fight Abraham. Abraham however, has to take care of his mandatory first, so Kelly is going to need to take a fight, in order to stay busy, before these two can match up against one another. Unless, Marquez takes step aside money.

Well if Abraham is busy hopefully Pavlik can get a fight with Winky, but i've heard Winky is kinda hard to negotiate with, but i do think it is a must that Pavlik takes care of business at Middleweight first.

Oh I agree, I would love for Kelly to fight Abraham, as I stated above, but I guess I'm hoping for a decent fight if it indeed comes to Cleveland. We never get fights here, so I wouldn't mind a lapse in weight class if he fights Kessler, as long as it keeps a Rubio fight out of Cleveland.

Winky would be great, but I think he will price himself out, unfortunately.

[Violent Demise]

If Abraham fights Marquez than Pavlik will fight Rubio

[Wacko3205]

Did'nt vote here...mainly becaues I just don't know who's a truely viable optional match out there for Pavlik to face.

In the end...I'd like to see Pavlik face Felix Sturm.

While I like Sturm (& all...& believe you me...I do) I don't feel that Sturm has faced a true test worthy/name opponent in the last few years & it's time to offer up that strap.

Sturm has all kinds of potential...but he just seems to leary to test it & less likely to tap it.

Pavlik would more than likely destroy Sturm...but that would get Kelly a belt & take another step closer to cleaning up/unifying the division! That being said...if I have to lose one of my fav's to do that (ie : Felix Sturm) then offer Sturm's neck up on the executioner's block.

Pavlik would chop it...no doubt.

If that isn't a fight that could be made...then make Sturm vs Abraham after he faces mandatory challenger Marquez. Abraham should have no problem with Marquez, so after that's done & settled...squash the Euro-rivalry of Abraham/Sturm & send Abraham with his hand ful of belts to face Pavlik.

Clear that up & we are closer to done.

Pavlik vs Abraham would be a smoker...& honestly...a tuff one to call...but I'll lean towards King Arthur.

[HOMETOWN CHAMP]

Pavlik should fight AA but most likely fight rubio next as AA as his mandatory to fight. I dont see cal wanting to fight him and im not sure what kess is doing
