Sturm fighting another champion? Sorry, I can't see it. I see Pavlik and Abraham eventually unifying the titles with Sturm hiding in the shadows.

If Kelly fights someone else, Arum is going to have to pay Mora off to do so.

Top Rank, and Pavlik signed a contract for the fight, and he's holding them to it. I know a lot of people here don't like this fight, but if they signed a contract, and then the fight gets cancelled because of bull$hit on their end, they should still honor that contract.

The only chance anyone EVER has of fighting arthur abraham is if they have a decidedly average record, dont mind spending 7-8 rounds hitting someone that doesnt wanna fight and must consider fighting outside of germany sickening!!

There are no decent fights out there for kelly hence the reason he should move up to 168 and mix it up with the likes of kessler, bute, froch etc
I agree with him moving up in weight. I think he has some cleaning up to do with Abraham and Sturm but with my statement above, I don't see Sturm trying to fight either man. So if Pavlik can get past Abraham, it's time for him to move up and fight a much more live division at 168.

Sturm is actually one of those rare german fighters who doesnt mind sticking his money where his mouth is and i think he`d wanna fight AA.

Dont see the fight happening in germany though. There would be too much to lose for sauerland by sticking their best guys in with eachother rather than just selling them seperately on their own individual cards.

Seriously if king arthur doesnt pull his finger out soon he is gonna get a ottke like reputation
