I think Pwills would give them hell, though I'm not sure Pwills should go up to 168 because I think even though he is tall and has long arms that he might be best at middle-weight... Idk, I mean I never saw him fight at super-middle weight so I can't say he is bad but he looked great against what seemed like a game Wink-Wright even if Winky was out for a few years.
as i said before, I'll say it again, p will has the skills to beat pavlik sturm and anybody else not named abraham.go see a abraham fight before any of you assume he can beat abraham..its not happening.
160 is full of a bunch of scared champions that never fight each other and only fight crappy fights!!The Punisher,if given a chance will change that and take on all of em!!Can any champ at 160 beat Winky??Because let me tell ya,I doubt it!!!
Pac got a fight with David Diaz in his first fight at 135, and another title fight with Hatton in his first fight at 140.
JMM got a title fight with Casamayor in his first fight at 135.
Guzman got a title shot at Nate in his first scheduled fight at 135.
Roy Jones got a title shot against Toney in his first fight at 168.
Roy Jones got a title fight against Ruiz in his first fight at heavyweight.
So whats your point? The sport has a long history of standing champions and notable fighters moving up in weight and getting title shots.
u just answered the essence of the thread starter's question... thats the point...
damn... nate campbell just secured a fight with unified titlist bradley without doing anything @ that weight...

Abraham's only chance of beating Paul Williams is to hope that he lands something big and hope Williams can't take it. Because Abraham has a very similar style to Winky Wright. And well, you saw what happened didn't you. Pavlik I think stands a better chance of beating Williams, because he has a more offensive mind set. But Williams has the versatility to beat him I think. He doesn't have Jermaine Taylor's punching power, but he has way better stamina. He is a better fighter than Taylor period. That is why Williams would be the toughest opponent in Pavlik's career except maybe Hopkins.
If You think beating a Old Rusty Winky, is better than KTFO Zertuchi or whatever his name is, Prime Miranda and Prime Taylor, plus UDing taylor also, then you are dumber than I thought!!!!!!!!!
Abrahamm have done jack shit tho!!!!!!!!
Zertuchi is a nobody, and Miranda was the most overrated MW since Joe Lipsey. Paul's MW resume is already better than Abraham's, and I said his win over WInky is almost as good (that doesn't mean better fyi) as everything Pavlik achieved. Please read the posts more carefully before jumping to conclusions. :D.
WTF?? Are you nuts
Zuñiga, Miranda, taylor x2, Rubio>>>>>>>>>>>>>>beating Old Rusty WinkY!!!!!!!
You're a Paul Williams hater man. Winky Wright is better than any of those guys. Zertuchi and Miranda have nothing on Wright, the only comparison is Taylor, and he is done now. Abraham has beaten no one at all.
His victory over Winky Wright coming off a layoff shits on each of these guys' last three fights. And yeah, I'm including the fight of where Hopkins made Pavlik look like a total stooge as part of that category when I say each of these guys' last three fights.
I think Paul would clearly defeat Pavlik in 12. Paul has better handspeed, head movement...his stamina is on point. He's got a good chin from what we've seen. His defense isn't great but neither is Pavlik's.
This fight should happen although Arum would be smart to not allow it...
I've only seen 1-2 of Abraham fights so I can't speak much on him.
And I think P.Will has to beat Sturm or another top contender at 160 to demand a fight with Pavlik or Abraham...
i say pwill beats abraham by UD...but i see him getting brutally KOed by pavlik..when he fought winky i saw him get wobbled a few times and as we all know winky has barely any power..pavlik would knock him out cold but i could see him keeping his distance and busting abraham up for 12 rounds
This too. 154 is Pwill's ripe for ownage. But if he stays at 160, who the fukk AA and Pavlik gonna blow him off in favor of?
Fighters should take it one step at a time, that makes a huge difference.
I'm serious when I say this, Paul Williams should take care of 154 before he goes up to 160. Clean out 154.

Did David Haye do enough to warrant a fight with Klitchko?
Did Sharmba Mitches do enough to warrant a fight with Mayweather?
Did Stevie Forbes to enough to warrant a fight with Oscar De La Hoya?

Not anyone worth money at 154! FTW, matrinez and santos? Who cares about them, the money fights are Pavlik and Abraham!
