Why are people saying Pavlik vs. Williams is a mismatch?

[Boofdatruth]

First, when he is too big to be fighting welterweights people say that he has an unfair advantage weight draining down to that size and should be fighting middleweights. Now that the opportunity comes to fight someone HIS SIZE.. Yes, his size.. You forget that Williams started his career out @ middleweight, now all the sudden it's a mismatch?.. I thought this was what people wanted?
Anyway, when he does fight Pavlik we will see why he would rather kill himself to make the welter limit then to fight dudes his own size.. because he can't and wont be competitive at his own weight.

A very good post.

well its a HUGE jump up in wieght for only 2.5 months.

If he makes and fits the weight well, it could be a hell of a fight.

it sould be easier for williams to make that weight than 147

sure it is ,but if he gets a win it paid off huge, a loss is not that big a deal, since he jumped up 2 classes.

I don't see where he goes from a defeat.

ok, williams is not a welterweight. he drains himself to death to be a welter. he weighs about 165 on fight night. he is probably walking around at this moment at over 170 pounds.

its a good fight for pavlik but there are better fights for him in his own division like abraham, sturm, winky. this fight doesn't make sense for rankings or money.

Thats not the point. Pavlik and his team and fanboys keep mouthing off about Calzaghe fighting Jones instead of him. Then instead of fighting Abraham who he should have to beat before he even thinks about Calzaghe - he scowers the Welterweight division for his next opponent.

Ricky Hatton walks around at 180 pounds - doesnt mean hes gonna be effective at Crusierweight lol

Its just the hypocrisy from Pavliks camp that makes me laugh.

I think that will reflect badly on him and I don't think there will be too many people wanting to fight with a guy coming down from middleweight.

Williams is being incredibly ambitious by moving up two weights to take on the top guy in the division. Most fighters will test the waters before chasing the big names and I see it as a very risky move.

he started at middleweight.

he's a strap holder. so long as he is not stripped everyone at 47 will be in line.
