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

[Boofdatruth]

Quintana is very good, I didn't mean to suggest otherwise. But you don't go from splitting a pair with Quintana to the middleweight championship in your next fight

Why............?

I still dont understand the fuss in Williams going up to fight Pavlik, People are making it look like he would die or something.

I told you Ray. I was shocked myself when people started saying this fight shouldn't happen. I mean Arum probably wants Williams out of the way at welter anyway, and what better way to do it then getting him beat by a middleweight lol. Arum is the worst human being in boxing now. Whether you think it is about race or not, if Williams loses, and comes back to welter, he can always say nobody wants to see Cotto or Margs fight Williams. Arum is rooting for Cotto mark my words.

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.

they are not the same size, kelly between fights weighs as much as 180 where as paul williams maybe only weighs 160,the only reason pavlik has not moved up in weight is because he is the middleweight champ and he did fight taylor at 168 pounds and said that he felt better at 168

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.

hatton is a fat bum he does not count how can somone walk around at 180 and is most comfortable fighting at 140

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.

Very risky fight. He has alot to gain if he wins and very little to lose. If he loses we will all say that the weight was an issue.

You think Arum doesn't want Cotto to fight Williams because he's black?

Have only just seen it, I didnt realise it before and am disappointed to be honest.

LOl i just find this too funny, I have never seen an active boxer look so fat in between fights like Hatton does.

It is a mismatch. Williams will be running all night. If Quintana gave Williams problems Pavlik will punish the Punisher.
