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.

So would I but why aren't they trying to get it on with Abraham? 2 Fighters on top of their game with great punch power and exciting fight styles. Williams still has a lot to prove at welterweight yet IMO and he could probably make more money there at the minute with all the big names knocking about. I really can't see the benefits for either fighter here.
Except for the fact that Pavlik keeps his undefeated record that is!

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

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