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

[steptwome]

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...

? Paul williams weighed 164lbs for his second fight with quintana. It is obvious that he is killing himself to make 147.

Obviously, Paul Williams moving up 13 pounds in weight to challenge the Middleweight Champ of the world, Kelly Pavlik is extremely close to being officially signed. I am a big fan of both fighters, but I do have to say that if Pavlik beats Williams he won't get all the credit that he should. Everyone will say oh Williams is a blown up welterweight, who got picked apart by Quintana in their first match. On the other hand, if Williams beats Pavlik, he will get a huge amount of credit, and depending on how decisive his victory is, his career will have a significant boost... Does anybody agree with this statement?

pavlik has absolutely nothing to gain in fighting williams.

That isnt bad all the top guys at 147 weigh in at 165 and over....Cotto, Margarito and even Clottey.

It's ****** because Williams should be fighting a lesser opponent first when going up in weight then challenging Pavlik. He hasn't even fought anyone at middleweight and he is going to challenge the best? Doesn't that sound ******ed to you?

NO it doesnt sound ******ed to me at all, I think its brilliant management from Williams people, People fight to get to the top guys and here is williams getting a shot straight away in a fight he is expect to lose. its a WIN-WIN situation for him because there would be NO pressure on him to win.

If he loses then he was suppose to but if he pull off a win then he becomes the greatest thing since slice bread...cant you see that?
