Kelly Pavlik vs Paul Williams...

[fightingfigs]

15 lbs difference between Kelly Pavlik at 160 and Joe Calzaghe at 175.

And people think Pavlik is ready for Calzaghe?

No people know hes ready for Calzaghe but Calzaghe is not ready for him.

He would give an alexis arguello type whoop ass on Calzaghe if they fought.

[sitai]

pavlik is a strong middleweight who only plans to stay awhile
he's beaten miranda and types who hit way harder than calzaghe
and have gone on to fight at SMW
he's taller reach advantage etc
calzaghe has only ever fought once at LHW... against hopkins
who isn't a natural light heavy..
unlike williams fighting pavlik, pavlik doesn't have to fear a huge difference in power.. actually pavlik would be the stronger man

size wise style wise the match up is fine

williams isn't even super strong at welter... not the same thing!!

If williams fights Pavlik is a HUGE mistake and I've been saying all along that pavlik shouldn't fight Calzague in 175 either.

The problem with both is that they have plans on moving up for a "money" fight, then move back to their respective weights and you can't go as far a 2 divisions doing that...

REMEMBER ANTONIO TARVER?????

the differance is pavlik punches like a mule kicks.and williams punches like a 10 year old girl

A ridiculous, pointless fight. Okay Williams has a massive frame, but he's got lots of options at WW and Pavlik has plenty at MW or SMW. This fight is just promoters getting out of control.

Exactly what has Williams done to get a shot at the current MW champion? Tsk.

What options does Williams have that are so great at 147? None of the other top welterweights are interested or even available to fight him. Why not take a chance at a weight he may be more comfortable at when he still has his title if he fails? If he even puts up a credible fight it is a good move for Williams.

Pavlik naturally has the frame and the strength to be a light heavyweight, and Calzaghe had been a SMW his whole career, so it's really not the same thing at all.

[RichCCFC]

So Williams has the frame of a Welterweight?

[Porter's Dad]

The pertinent point here is that Paul Williams has the guts to do something that Calzaghe hasn't.

Simple as that.
