What does the future hold for Arthur Abraham?

[Rantcatrat]

Him and Pavlik are struggling to make 160 now. They'll fight late this year or early next year for their middleweight belts then both move up.

I doubt it. Honestly, I'm doubting Pavlik's team have the balls to put him in there with Abraham after what happened with Hopkins. This fight should have happened already, enough with the terrible defences.

It's easily the biggest money fight for him at 160 so he'll take the risk. If he loses he's moving up to 168 anyway, he can blame it on being tight at the weight, the potential of a big money 168 rematch if the first fight was good, etc. So I'm pretty sure he'll take it.

Arum is just bringing him and Cotto back slowly after their first losses. No massive fights for a while, just ease them back into winning ways.

There has been talk of Pavlik v. Sturm - Vindy.com Local News Youngstown, Warren, Columbiana Ohio - news, sports and information - Pavlik may fight Sturm

Pavlik v. Abraham would be a great middleweight fight. Possibly the best since when? But, Pavlik v. Sturm wouldn't be too bad either.

There was a thread a while ago about how Strum's promoter, Universum, don't let their fighters near any kind of real test, just keep them fighting nobodies and making money off them. There was some article linked in the thread claiming they were only making noise about fighting Pavlik to deflect from the fact that they were ducking Abraham's offer of a fight in Germany. I think Sturm will stay in Germany fighting tomato cans while Abraham goes for Pavlik and then big fights at 168. I hope at least one of them comes to America for some big fights anyway.
