...to fight in July with Pavlik fighting his bullshit fight in June against Mora and that would be a super fight on it's own with the winner going on to a super super fight against Pavlik to unify the division. This could only be good for the sport of boxing. Let's face it Pavlik, Abraham and Williams are the only 3 people worth mentioning in the MW division.
Thanks, I will have to check that fight out. I am surprised to hear his opponent possibly hurt him.
the round by round reports I read all suggested that Abraham was hurt pretty bad in, I think, the 5th round and showed a lot of heart by coming back from it and winning the decision. why else do you think Pavlik has suddenly agreed to fight him?
Abraham struggled at the scales before his most recent fight, so I think weight draining sapped him in his last fight. I honestly think Arum thinks that too and that's the only reason we're going to see Pavlik-Abraham.
he looks really bad, i think his opponent hurt him at one stage too, he was basically running a whole round. after ever combo he threw he had to hold because he was gassing out, he needs to move up to 168.

I need to watch that last fight. Did Abraham look bad?

judging on his last fight, abraham is drained, his workrate is poor! paul can perhaps outwork him but if he gets caught flush it's lights out.
abraham on his best night wins ofcourse but he needs to go to 168 now!

p wills chin has never been tested at this weight...we saw what wild hooks from winky did to pauls head
arthur would use the same shell defense but come back with the same hooks that winky did but with 5X the steam on em
Agreed, he will have a full size middleweight checking his chin and Williams isn't hard to hit. I think Abraham will be more willing to engage too.

williams outworks him to a UD, he has the chin to take all of abes big shots

yeah and abraham would ko paul. paul is a counter puncher's dream. paul throws alot but doesn't have the power to hurt a guy like abraham.
i agree and arthur abraham seems to have alot of power in his punches
I think Williams can beat Abraham, who does not have a great work rate so that can obviously work in Paul's flavour. If one camp would avoid this fight, I can see it being Camp Abraham.
I think Williams should fight Sturm first then maybe Pavlik or Mora if he doesnt preform well
Abraham is an animal and will not be beaten by Williams. Its that simple
Don't think PWill will have a shot against those two fighters until next summer. I do think Abraham and Pav will fight this winter.. possibly be a rematch after the fight as well..
I would like to see PWill fight BHop tho.. BHop doesn't throw much but he does have power to rock PWill
Yeah I think Paul Williams could beat the likes of Hopkins and Abraham just with his work rate as long as they can't really hurt him then he could win decisions against both of them.

I would also say Felix Sturm.Dont forget about him.
Yeah but will he ever fight in the US again? Abraham should get more exposure by fighting Williams in the summer and would help HBO sell the PPV at the end of the year for Pavlik vs Abraham/Williams.
