Dan Rafael blog: Serious talks underway for Pavlik-Williams and other tid bits

[LEGION]

I'm a huge Willams fan and I despise Pavlik, but I think the Ghost takes this one. Williams is going to get hit, he always does, and Pavlik for all his shortcomings has a ton of power. Should be a great fight though, with both men's styles and workrates I could see it being FOTY material.

Pavlik by stoppage in a fight he is behind on the cards.

Why do you despise Pavlik or do you mean you just despise his style?

Williams on the cards. With his workrate, Williams is like a smaller, less-finetuned Calzaghe. The questions are: can Kelly time Pwill's flurries and can Pwill handle a KP right hand?

Pavlik has an awesome style and I really should be a fan of his, and I was a fan of his until recently. However, I loathe Jack Loew, that fat fuck runs his mouth like he's the one doing the fighting, talking shit about other fighters etc. and generally acting like a douche. I also dislike Pavlik because of his bullshit "everyman persona", that's as bit as phony as Hatton's (if not more so).

I really should like him, but I just don't.

Understand, I don't care of you like him or not, as we all have our views.
I just don't understand why you think his "everyman persona" is phony. He seems pretty nonchalant and laid back; and genuinely a "man of the people", at least from where he lives. Tbh it's more his attitude lately that rubs me wrong; being some pompous ass and degrading the SMW Tournament when he should be praising such things in this sport that needs more public exposure. Jmo....keep on hating {Jack Loew is a jackass though I won't dispute that....got himself some fame off a guy and let it get to him}
