Mora is a tougher fight for Pavlik than Duddy, another potential opponent before the AA fight. Mora is a former champ at jr. middleweight and a tricky fighter. If he is waiting on Abraham, then this is really not a bad fight in the interim. Too bad it is a PPV or I'd say that it wasn't all that bad of a move.

On that note, why are people putting down Pavlik for not fighting Abraham, rather than vice versa? Why are people putting down Pavlik's choice of opponents and not Abraham's? Be fair.

Pavlik has taken the tougher road in recent times. Who has Abraham fought recently that is worth mentioning? Speaking of which, who the hell is Lajuan Simon? Inititially, I thought he was a lesser-known European fighter, but it turns out he is from Philly! It's just that he has never fought anyone remotely known and is completely untested. Talk about a Gary Lockett, but actually he isn't quite as accomplished as Gary Lockett. And he isn't close to a Sergio Mora. Wait, Pavlik fought Lockett after fighting Jermain Taylor. Maybe AA deserved a breather because his last fight was against an elite opponent? Uhmm...No - it was against Raul Marquez!! When was the last time Abraham was tested? Khoren Ghevor? Maybe the first Edison Miranda fight? Please. Indeed, who is AA's biggest win? Please hold AA to the same standard you hold Pavlik.

Pavlik v. Abraham is a tough fight to call, 50-50 really. I'm a big fan of both. I may lean toward AA in a fight between the two, but I hold AA in high regard.
