Pavlik v Williams a Done Deal?

wohoo! hope this fight happens

Hope this is true

Williams is gonna get his ass beat if this fight happens. i respect what williams has done but Williams leaves himself open way too much and Pavlik's power is very underrated! Pavlik will land at will i see him winning by 7th rd KO.

Pavlik can KO Pwill. Dude really needs to get to 154.

paul is going to destroy pavlik. see this is what i want to see from paul, taking on challenges in the right weight classes with the big guys, not starving himself to fight guys 6 or 7 inches shorter than him.

i think fighting at ww as much as he did has hurt his pwill's power a little but has helped increase his volume. i got pwill in this fight by UD.

2 guys with gr8 workrates, who pressure, its gonna be a war, but pavlik gonna win, he's got more power in his punches.

Great match up.. Can't wait to see it. I hope is a done deal.

I read in Rafael's blog that HBO is really getting serious to make this fight happen

People need to realize Paul Williams started at 160. And personally I think that is his best weight class. He looks more healthier and stronger there. I think this is 50/50 fight. I hope who ever wins gets full credit. I'm going to cut that post out and hang it on to my wall.

this is awesome.i really don't know who to pick.williams hasn't been in there with someone who hits as hard as pav, and pav probably hasn't been in there with someone that busy before.I'm probably gonna have to go with williams.

This is an awful fight for Paul, so much risk in a fight he can't win. While he can get some major pub. for this fight, he is going to get iced and then everyone will call him a straight up bum. Paul is a great fighter and can beat tons of fighters but once he losses he will never get another big fight, which will be a shame. lols...he can't win? he beats the shit outta pavlik, i can't believe you're from the detroit area, talking b.s. like that.....

pavlik by ud or maybe late stoppage.

It's a good fight for Williams, if he fights close and loses nobody's going to hold it against him. This is a must-win for Pavlik though. It has the makings of an exciting fight.

Call Paul Williams The Exorcist as he's gonna exorcise the Ghost we call Kelly Pavlik!! Nah, the Exorcistecutioner already beat him to it. This is an awful fight for Paul, so much risk in a fight he can't win. While he can get some major pub. for this fight, he is going to get iced and then everyone will call him a straight up bum. Paul is a great fighter and can beat tons of fighters but once he losses he will never get another big fight, which will be a shame. What do you think it does for Paul if he wins? 4 titles in 3 weight classes at his age? Undisputed at MW, while he can still make WW? The guys stock would skyrocket. No one is going to call him a bum if he loses to Pavlik, unless he got knocked out early, which isn't happening. It's win/win for him really, career payday with a huge upside. And I hope Pavlik hits him flush a few times. I see Paul eating a few shots from kelly similar to the way Tony ate Cotto's shots. Everyone is talking about Paul's chin but I have never Paul hurt in any of his fights. He has one of the best beards in the game. Paul was hurt in round 11 of the Margarito fight. But he does have a great chin, and as he showed in round 12 throwing like 120 punches, great powers of recovery. I don't see a stoppage from either in this fight.

Wow,the Punisher 3 time world champ,talk about a boost to 160,this needs to happen,Pavlik and those other 2 champs need to be shown how to keep 160 hot get em skinny man!!

It was reported by WKBN 27 in Youngstown last night, nothing futher online yet, I have been looking. The word was not that the fight was signed but that it was all but a done deal, hence the "?" in the title and my statement that I hope the fight gets made. It sounds like there would be a lot of excitement around this fight, I would certainly make another trip to AC for it. I pick Pavlik by KO in the later rounds. Cool Thanks for following up, this fight would be awesome if it gets done. It would probably be on HBO but I wouldn't mind paying for it either way.
