    Kelly Pavlik vs. Paul Williams Turned Down by Top Rank

    It was recently revealed by Goossen-Tutor that Top Rank turned down a possible bout between WBO welterweight champion Paul Williams vs. WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik. Williams was willing to move up by two weight classes to make the fight. Williams is seen as a welterweight freak due to his physical dimensions. He stands at a near 6'3 and has the reach of a heavyweight. [details]

    Is Goossen insane!?

    It'd be a live beheading.

      Paul should stick to being anorexic. He would get hurt at 160.

          That was an unexpected piece of news.... I thought it was a spam thread at first.

          Pavlik would destroy Paul Williams. Paul is tall but he doesn't always fight like a tall fighter and he has a sub-par jab IMO. Why would Williams want to move up with the big boys if he can make the WW limit?

            Lol at these comments. Williams isn't picking on guys his own size. He melts down to 147 so he can pick on guys smaller. If Pavlik took this fight it'd be murder.

              Seriously. I find this article kind of funny. Trying to spin it like Pavlik is afraid of Williams. ..

                Because the one thing we all want in a fighter... Paul has.


                The willingness to fight anybody....


                I respect it.

                  LOL Way to go to in trying to hype your fighter Goossen... I bet Williams was like "Wait...you said WHAT??? naw ***** naw naw, stop playin' ***** stop playin' ".

                  Kelly would break that Somali-looking neck in Williams like a ****ing twig with a right hand. these promoters are crazy man

                    So why do you respect Jones Jr so much? he **** in his pants at thought of fighting Calzaghe (back in the days), therefore turning down the fight.
