Tulsa boxer Allan Green says he's mulling
retirement after his chance for a title fight against world
middle-weight champ Kelly Pavlik dissolved.
A super middle-weight, Green was apparently close to securing a
title fight with Pavlik.
But Pavlik promoter Bob Arum says that opportunity fell through after Green's new advisor, New York boxing writer Greg Leon, became involved in negotitations.
Arum's original offer was for $450,000 plus training expenses.
The 28-year-old Green, known for his punching power, has a 26-1 record and is ranked No. 10 by the World Boxing Organization.
