    I'll be honest, Williams deserves all the respect in the world for taking this fight. But his trainers suggestion that he is fine with his weight, I call that BS. If he was smart he he can so easily make 140/147/154/160/168/175 from what he says and he is currently in 147, well jump to 154 try to get a belt or a few fights and then move to 160. He can adjust much better to the weight by then, from here to sep. oct. he won't be getting much muscle, he will just go in inflated and will end up getting hurt. Then to supposedly move back down to 147???WTF!! Seriously I have respect for him for wanting this fight but Goosen is playing him like a TOOL and he is still very young. If he actually attempts this weight ****, his career won't last long

      I think Arum is doin this so neither Cotto or Margarito (whoever wins on the 26th) will have to fight Williams anytime soon. lol He knows Pavlik will take Paul's head off..

      Pavlik destroys Paul Williams. Paul wouldn't even make a great light Middleweight...And they're puttin him in with Pavlik.

        I still cant imagine either Cotto or Margarito actually thinking about doing this, I mean this is really big of Williams to do. Am trying to imagine either cotto or Margarito actually going up and trying to fight Pavlik.

          You won't see them because there is no need. Cotto is 5'7", u might see him go as far as 154. Margo could potentially go up to 160, who knows. But they don't have weight issues therefor there is no need for them to jump to 160 just to get hurt

            I dont think this has anything to do with weight issues, Williams weigh about the same as Cotto and Margarito on fight nights.

            Margarito outweigh Williams on fight night in their fight, And cotto weigh in at 160 on fight night against Paulie M at 140, So yes both fighter CAN fight at 160 if they choose to.

              Williams doesn't belong at Welterweight, I wouldn't be exactly pissed to see the average welterweight gain success without fighting Paul. Paul is a ****in freak for the welterweight, the average welter isn't even near Paul's size.

              But even still, Kelly Pavlik? Lmao thats career suicide.

              Williams should test the light middleweight divisions. Williams vs Kirkland, Angulo, and Santos would be some real fights.

                  I understand but the 154 division isnt exactly known for their names, So jumping to 160 to take on the main man at 160 seem like a good career move because EVERYBODY expects him to lose, So imagine if he wins?

                      lol Yeah but turn off those Peter Pan happy thoughts and come back to all that is most likely.



                      I mean if you as a Williams fan think Paul can take on Kelly Pavlik, lol so be it. Don't let me spoil it for you.
