Pavlik/Williams (All reward for Williams...All risk for Pavlik)

[Danny Gunz]

Yeah Pavliks gotta hope for another impressive win to get credit in this fight.

But on Williams part this was a great deal, he gets to make his first appearance as a middleweight against the champ. If he wins he is champ and if he loses its no worries cause he jumped up 13 pounds and he can either drop back to WW or the weak JMW and dominate. And even if he loses but impresses people he can probably get a rematch against pavlik.

But i dont see williams getting it done. I feel like the extra weight will hurt him and he wont be able to dish out as many punches a round as he is famous for.

williams could take a terrible beating and never be the same again. so he's got something to lose too.

I don't see what the big deal is. Why does it make Pavlik look bad when Williams is the one calling for the fight? It's not as if Pavlik won't fight any top Middleweights after this fight let alone alone he had a proposed fight with Calzaghe that went down the toilet (mainly because of Calzaghe's pops).

Williams is trying to go for the gusto and fight a guy considered one of the most dangerous punchers in the game, so kudos to him for having the balls to fight Pav.

IMO though I think Williams won't be able to handle Pavlik's power even if Paully has his guard up.

But this will do no harm to Pavlik's career. That's a bit of a stretch to say the least.

Only reason why I see Williams would take this fight is because he is after all having weight problems in 147 witch is expected to happen soon and well, who can bring more money in 154,160 divs than Pavlik? I say it is goosen just trying to squeeze as much as he can from Williams before he is done, maybe he saw something in the first Quintana fight(his sloppiness in fundamentals) that he didn't like. Truth is that there is nothing that Williams will be able to do to keep a solid middleweight like Pavlik who's power is quite impressive off. Not only that, after getting a brutal beating, more often than not, your career along with your chin go south. I don't think is beneficial for williams in any way. if he is indeed having weight problems then move to 154 not 160. Gaining muscle to move up two divisions to then move down if that is such the case is a ****** move...

Williams could unify WW titles against he Cotto vs Marg winner, going after Pavlik is just plain ****** IMO.
