He said he doesn't want to risk his health and he doesn't have the motivation to train at a high level. He is only 30. It sucks because he makes some exciting fights. I would love to see him in there with Froch, Kessler, or Bute. Those are all exciting fights. Pavlik just lost the desire. It wouldn't be surprising to see him back in 2 or 3 years.

QUOTE (Dolimite @ Jan 20 2013, 02:53 PM)  They all say this until they miss the roar of the crowd, the exposure, the big money purses, and the life of a boxer. He will be back. He needs to clear his head. Look at Sweet and Low Mosley, he can't hang them up, the Real Deal Holyfied can't let go either. Roy Jones who really needs to stop has a match this year. I pray Pavlik gets his mind right, he has heart and he just needs a vacation. All the guys you have mentioned have had bad money problems, which is the reason they are in boxing still. Some older guys who haven't retired for the love of the sport could he Hopkins marquez maybe Ma rtinez even... But I remember when he was involved in Bute talks he talked about retiring because he felt disrespected because of the money offered. I believe he said something about being good financially if I'm not mistaken. This post has been edited by checkleft: Jan 20 2013, 05:42 PM |
