(AP)</p></div> <p>Some quick jabs …</p> <p><i>• </i>Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer said no decisions have been made regarding opponents for Floyd Mayweather and Saul Alvarez in May. While Robert Guerrero continues to be a leading candidate to face Mayweather, Schaefer indicated that Austin Trout, who is coming off an upset win over Miguel Cotto in December, isn’t a likely candidate for Alvarez.</p> <p>“[Trout] is one of the names being considered,” Schaefer said. “But at this point, I don’t think it will happen.”</p> <p><i>• </i>The shoulder injury that will sideline Andre Ward for at least the next few months could turn out to be a blessing for Kelly Pavlik. Pavlik, of course, was scheduled to face Ward later this month. Few people in the industry — myself included — gave Pavlik little more than a puncher’s chance against Ward, a physically stronger and more skilled fighter who has been campaigning at 168-pounds for most of his career. With Ward out, Pavlik has plenty of options in the super middleweight division. A fight with Lucian Bute has been dangled and a long-awaited matchup with Arthur Abraham could be a possibility. One name I’ve heard linked with Pavlik: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., who could still be contemplating a move up to 168-pounds.</p> <p><i>• </i>So Mariusz Wach says he has lost his passion for boxing. I would too if I took the beating Wladimir Klitschko gave him.</p> <p><i>• </i>Heavyweight contender Kubrat Pulev’s promoter, Chris Meyer of Sauerland Event, told me on Monday that he will begin negotiations with Main Events CEO Kathy Duva this week about a matchup between Pulev and Tomasz Adamek this year. Pulev-Adamek would be an IBF eliminator, with the winner guaranteed a shot at IBF titleholder Wladimir Klitschko. Meyer said he hoped to have a tentative plan settled in the next 10-14 days.</p> <p><i>• </i>Credit junior middleweight Gabriel Rosado for refusing to fight middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin at a catchweight of 158-pounds. I like Golovkin to win that fight but Rosado — who has never backed up from anyone — will make Golovkin fight. Could be an early candidate for Fight of the Year.</p> <p><i>• </i>NBC reported that the ratings for its December 22nd card headlined by Tomasz Adamek and Steve Cunningham averaged 1.6 million viewers (a 1.2 rating), peaking at 3.2 million viewers (2.2 rating). On the heels of a successful show on CBS a week earlier, I think it’s safe to say boxing will be back on network TV. Soon.</p> <p><i>• </i>Count me among those concerned about Manny Pacquiao after his devastating knockout loss to Juan Manuel Marquez last month. But I don’t think doctors who have never examined him — like Filipino neurologist Dr. Rustico Jimenez, who last week said he saw early signs of Parkinson’s disease in Pacquiao — have any right to go public with that kind of accusation. That’s staggeringly irresponsible.</p> <p style="text-align:right;"><strong>- Chris Mannix</strong></p> <div id="jp-post-flair" class="sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing"><h3 class="sd-title">Share this:</h3><div class="sd-content"><ul><li class="share-twitter"><a rel="nofollow" class="share-twitter sd-button share-icon" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130130042103/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2013/01/08/quick-jabs-mayweather-still-needs-opponent-pavlik-could-benefit-from-ward-injury-more/?share=twitter" title="Click to share on Twitter" id="sharing-twitter-4245"><span>Twitter</span></a></li><li class="share-facebook"><a rel="nofollow" class="share-facebook sd-button share-icon" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130130042103/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2013/01/08/quick-jabs-mayweather-still-needs-opponent-pavlik-could-benefit-from-ward-injury-more/?share=facebook" title="Share on Facebook" id="sharing-facebook-4245"><span>Facebook</span></a></li><li class="share-google-plus-1"><a rel="nofollow" class="share-google-plus-1 sd-button share-icon" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130130042103/http://mma-boxing.si.com/2013/01/08/quick-jabs-mayweather-still-needs-opponent-pavlik-could-benefit-from-ward-injury-more/?share=google-plus-1" title="Click to share on Google+" id="sharing-google-4245"><span>Google +1</span></a></li><li class="share-end"></li></ul><div class="sharing-clear"></div></div></div></div></div> </div> <div id="authorbio"></div> </div> <div class="post-bottom"> <li>Published On <span>Jan 08, 2013</span></li> </div> </div> <style type="text/css"> .OUTBRAIN .ob_dual_right { background:transparent url('https://web.archive.org/web/20130130042103im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.e/img/4.0/global/pixels/d5d5d5.gif') repeat-y;
