Arum Says Pavlik Vs Paul Williams "Seems" Like Done Deal For 9/27

Kelly Pavlik vs. Paul Williams - Deal Reached For 9/27? - Boxing News

I would commend Williams for courage if he takes such a fight going straight from WW but he's going to get himself hurt.

what a silly fight.

Pavlik will knock him out.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Actually I see it a bit differently. Southpaw + a Million punches could spell Kelly getting out hustled.

It's a risky decision, but give Williams credit for having the guts to take on the challenge, if the fight does indeed happen.

Brutal. I'm beginning to miss Jermaine Taylor, at least when he cherry-picked gimme opponents he only dipped one weight class below his.

True, but I'd rather see Pavlik fight a big-name welter than a no-name middleweight. I'd rather see Paul Williams get a shot than another Gary Lockett.

There has to be someone in the top 15 MW's who is more deserving of this fight. I know they want a gimme to set up Pavlik-Abraham (at least I hope that's what they're doing), but Pavlik just had a gimme fight in Lockett. Williams has never ever fought at LMW, let alone MW, and he's done nothing to deserve a shot at Pavlik. The fight has little credibility and no competitive aspect to it, Pavlik will steamroll Williams.

Jermaine Taylor was raked over the coals when he fought Ouma and Spinks, and that was after a series of fights against much better opposition than Pavlik has faced, I hope Pavlik gets that same treatment.

Middleweight is not a deep division right now. Besides Abraham, name a middlweight who would create the buzz that a Williams fight will create.

BBBBBWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A guy who is a legit Lightheavyweight is fighting Paul Williams.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Please now shut up Pavlik fans please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All this shit about Calzaghe BBBWWHHHAAAAA

This is worse than Spink and Ouma FIRSTLY Ouma and Spinks are legit 154lb fighters held titles at the weight SECONDLY Williams has never fought above 147 THIRDLY Pavlik is 6 Fucking 3".

BBBWWHHHAAAAA!!!!

Worse match up in a few decades, BBBWWHHHAAAAA

Credit to williams for taking the fight if he does and shame on Pavlik if he does.;D

I just don't see why Pavlik would take a fight like this. It's a lose lose situation for him.

Williams is a freakishly big welterweight who rehydrates up into the mid-160s for his fights. He's bigger than Spinks or Ouma and is a more dangerous opponent.

I think Pavlik knocks out Williams, but I give Williams a better chance than I gave either Ouma or Spinks.

;D

Williams may well be a big freak but still.. this is a "gimme" 2 for Pavlik.

Paul's first dozen fights were at Jr Middleweight and Middleweight.

He moved down in weight to fight the smaller guys.
