Both fighters come out of this looking good with a win. Beating Pavlik would mean Williams is a top 3 p4p fighter in my book because he becomes probably the best fighter between 147 and 160. Is there a bigger accomplishment? Beating the top dog at 160 is bigger than beating the top dog at 147 or 154. I give Williams a lot of credit for taking this fight. For Pavlik, beating Williams will restore his reputation as one of the elite in the game after suffering the loss to Hopkins. Most people have Williams in the top ten p4p. I give Pavlik a lot of credit for taking this fight too. He could have fought Mora or another mandatory and instead he chose the most "feared boxer in the world" and to top things off, he is going into this fight as the underdog (as an aside, strangely, he was the underdog in his three biggest wins, but the favorite in his sole loss).
