Pavlik vs Williams rescheduled

Like I said before, Karma's a biatch!!


Paul Williams To Return in October, Without Kelly Pavlik - Boxing News

This really sucks. So now the fight is canceled. Great.

Pavlik does need to suck it up a little. Either be a fighter, or stop. He's been out so long now that it's getting a bit weird. Just fight dammit and stop being a poof.

[OumaFan]

I kind of wonder whether Goosen ever really liked this fight. Seemed obstinate as hell in negotiations, almost caused them to break down completely and now seems in a gigantic hurry to move on.

That's not to excuse Kelly who's been acting erratic as hell lately.

[Diane]

I have a feeling that Pavlik won't be fighting for the rest of this year, and who knows whether we will get this fight now.

I'm starting to think that the alchoholic rumors are true. Pavlik is acting very weird lately

[JT Rock]

I dont know how a guy could be called Ring Champion especially when it will be almost a year of inactivity do to self abuse...

Pavlik hasnt recovered from the Hop clinic and just dosent have the desire anymore

[Diane]

Now December 5th is a possibility again. This is getting ridiculous.

I am glad though, that Goossen is demanding his medical records.

It hasn't been that long. Pavlik fought Rubio in the beginning of the year. Hopkins, the man who beat Pavlik and who occupies the #3 spot on ESPN's p4p list, hasn't fought since October and has nothing scheduled for the near future. David Haye has fought even less over the last year and legitimately backed out of two title fights.

With the super six tournament tieing up a bunch of potential fights and HBO not willing to spend much on a fight with Sturm, who will Pavlik fight if he can't fight Pwill? Pavlik needs to get out of Youngstown.

First off, it would not surprise me at all if there is some truth to the rumors that Pavlik is out of shape and using the infection as an excuse to postpone the fight and buy himself time. And if that's the case, he should have been straight up during the negotiations and said that he couldn't do Oct. 3.

And I can understand 100% why Williams would be pissed. But Williams needs to realize that he can make more money fighting Pavlik than anyone else, and if he beats Pavlik, he'll have a huge win on his resume and he'll be the middleweight champion of the world to boot. He can wait an extra 6-8 weeks to get that chance.

Your right on the button. Not about Kelly being outta shape, but that Williams is better off waiting for this fight. He has nothing to lose and the world to gain

His new nickname should be "Kid Excuse." He has become a giant head case.
