Kelly Pavlik is going delusional

BoxingScene.com: Lucien Bute? Carl Froch? What are the big fights that you're looking at next?

Kelly Pavlik: I would definitely say those, due to the fact that we're at super middleweight. You know, the Butes, the Froches. Fights like those are very intriguing and great fights. I would love to fight Carl Froch in a heartbeat. That guys been talking a lot of smack. I don't understand where he's on his high horse.

If you go back and do breakdowns of our fights, and people who know boxing would know this: Carl Froch got destroyed by Jermain Taylor for most of the 12 rounds. If Taylor could have taken a knee twice in the 12th round when he got knocked out, then he still would have won the fight. That's how far ahead on the scorecards he was.

Before that, he was just knocking the crap out of Froch. If you take my second fight with Taylor, which wasn't a knockout, I out-boxed him and won by decision. Granted, it was a close fight because Taylor's a very smart fighter and a naturally talented fighter, but where Taylor hits Froch for 12 rounds, I hit much harder than Taylor.

So if I hit this guy like Taylor did, I don't see it going the distance. So I don't see where this guy is coming from. I think that right there would be a very intriguing fight for me. Felix Sturm has said that he would be willing to come to a catch weight and fight me. I think that would be an interesting fight. That would be a fight that I would love to take.

That has been a fight that I have wanted right since right after I won the world title was one with Sturm.

Yeah but he was hardly destrying Froch like Pavlik claimed.

I had Taylor winning the Pavlik rematch until he gassed in the last two rounds.
