Prior to the Martinez fight I thought Williams would take Pavlik to school. After witnessing the shots he took from Martinez who's certainly no power puncher, I'm convinced the Williams that fought Martinez goes to sleep against Pavlik.
At times, it looked like Paul's long ass was reaching for Martinez. Why is his long ass reaching for anyone? If he reaches for Pavlik then I think it's lights out. If he utilizes his reach advantage without giving it up when reaching for someone, then I still think Paul could prevail against Pavlik. He would definitely have to make some adjustments though.
I don't think so. Their styles are so different. Martinez is a skilled, fast counter puncher. Williams would never saw those punches coming. Pavlik would be right in Williams' wheelhouse and get outworked.
Against Martinez, Paul looked as if he had no legs all night either, combined with his wide open, face first, sloppy technique he was imploring. He looked as if he had sex prior to or something. Martinez had his legs buckling a couple of times. Had Pavlik would had caught him on those stilts last night, I think Paul would have went down like he was being shot or something.
You do realize Martinez has about 10 times the skill of Pavlik right?
You dont need skill to hit a guy that is so easy to counter. Once pavlik lands that right hand bomb it's good night Paul.
Paul most certainly needs to add to his defense and punch resistance and not be so sloppy like he was against Martinez, or Pavlik may just be the one to lay him down when he lays hands on him.
No the **** he doesn't you moron..Are you serious? Sergio Martinez has one of the most effective in and out elusive styles in and or around that weight class and his speed is very under rated...Pavlik is a one trick pony with very limited defense and is slow as SHIT... WILLIAMS WOULD MURDER PAVLIK!
Are some of you serious???Pavlik is wayyyy slower than Martinez and not nearly as slick. You think Bernard was too much for Pavlik then wait until Paul is in there who is faster and would be throwing 60 or more punches a round from all angles. Yall need to stop.Styles make fights
With this statement it's suprising that you still end up with your conclusion.
Of course styles make fights and obviously Pavlik and Martinez are completely different fighters. Also comparing Hopkins to PW, just no. You seem to fail to understand 2 key things
1) PW doesn't have the know how or attributes to adopt a Klitschko, work behind his jab, fight the entire fight from the outside stratagy. He'll be trading vs Pavlik cuz that's how both guys fight
2) If Martinez who has pop and is an underrated puncher but not a guy with top knotch power can hurt williams, Pavlik most certainly will.
PW's chin at 160 against Pavlik, who is perhaps that hardest banger now since Abraham is at 168, won't hold up like it has against 147 lbers.
I'm just saying, there was a couple of times where Paul got so sloppy that I thought Martinez was going to put him to sleep, But, I knew it would had to been from a shot Paul didn't see because, Martinez is no power puncher, With that being said, Martinez seem to rock, wobble, and hurt Williams a few times tonight. Had he been that sloppy against some one like Pavlik, it wouldn't had just took the shot he didn't see coming, but probably any damn shot clean would had probably been enough to prevail.
Yeah i'v always though Pavlik's power would be too much.

just an off night? :lol1::puppy_dog
Stop being a douche. Paul just beat the best 154 pounder in the world. Give the guy some fukin credit and stop hating. It seems like you hate on him in every topic.
Ok, all this all you guys are saying may be true about Martinez having more skills and being more mobile then Pavlik. But what about Williams punch resistance against the likes of Martinez? What if Pavlik caught Paul like that? I feel what ya'll saying though. But if those were Kelly"s shot landing tonight though I don't know, shit could have been different.
Not even close bruh. Anyone who stands straight up like a tree (Pavlik) is going to get fukin WORKED by Williams. Did Winky and Margarito not teach you anything? Power doesn't affect Williams once he gets in his rhythm. Pavlik's only shot would be to catch him cold, but that ain't happening. Paul has better defense than Pavlik who literally has none. Paul would rip Pavlik apart.
