Paul Williams: “I Would've Beat Pavlik Like Hopkins Did”

[2501]

#2 is flawed. The team was never presented with any offer from Dan. If Dan really was serious about this offer then why didn't Dan go to the team as well in making the rematch happen? All he said was he offered it to Bob and that was it. I know the team and Tony very well (I know George and Paul as much as a Cali beat guy can) and they never received a call from Dan at all. Now you will say "why should a promoter ask the team to make the fight when his promoter won't" but there is a case history of this between the two parties or do you forget? How do you think the first fight was made? Bob said no you are to fight Cotto and sign a new contract, Tony balked and turned his attention to Williams and Goossen. Deal was made but Bob threatened to sue, the went to Puerto Rico, the WBO said Bob had no case and the fight went forward. You mean to tell me it was okay to do it then but not now? Dan is talking even George admitted as much when I talked to him at the presser they had a while back

also IMO Dan is talking again. He knows that Bob is mad at them for the way the Pavlik negotiations went down and now he is saying that Bob should call them if they want to make a Clottey fight? He knows Bob will ignore it.

ouch..........................

but thats ok isnt it?

I mean why cant he say that?

I mean it isnt like he is the first braggart in our sport's history now is it?

didnt Floyd call himself GOAT?

kid is just trying to boost himself

I'm not saying he's committed a crime or anything, but if he says something like that, he's gonna take criticism, just like Floyd did.

I'd like to see how Pavlik would adjust to that reach advanatage. This would be a better fight then a lot of ppl here think.

co-sign....

Pavliks camps response most likely "At least I didn't lose to Quintana"

yea, they lost to a 43 year old man.......

williams's camp response.. "did you see the rematch?"

even if pavlik and hopkins had a rematch, problem is, it would go the same way the ifrst fight did....

would paul quit it. he ain't no B-Hop. can u imagine Hopkins losing to a Quintana even on a bad night. These dudes that ain't did nothing need to humble just a bit and fight beat somebody before they start runnig off at the lip. He not even nice, if he keep fighting at 160 and fight the elites he wil lose. Pavlik, taylor, Abraham, even Miranda could prolly get him. Paul go work on that lazy jab and put some zip on it.

he just said he's younger, quicker, and slicker....i agree with the younger and quicker part....BUT b-hop is slicker than any1 in the game, w/ the exception of mayweather maybe.....

i dont like every1 jumping on pavlik after he got his ass whooped, and pwill should chill out a bit....but at least he's one of the few fighters willing to get in there and back up the **** they talk....a lot of fighters call other fighters out for press, williams will fight any1 he calls out....

ppl are reading into this too much. he's obviously trying to get a fight w/ pavlik early next year at 160, b/c he knows he won't be able to get any of the top doggs from 154-147 to step in the ring.....

oh no thats cool I understand. I just get tired of the same old answers

whoever my promoter puts in front of me is who I will fight

I will leave it up to my team

I will fight anyone

etc etc

[DA1CATAS]

Yeah he should keep his mouth shut till he actually fights someone. The Kolle win must be going to his head

I'm not HYPING WILLIAMS.....

and maybe i'm completely wrong *(I didn't check)* But didn't andy Kolle has a Pretty Good record... Might have been against soup cans but it was good right?

That says a lil bit.


On the flip side If I'm mixing Kolle with someone else then this post I just posted makes no sense lol.. sorry should have checked.

EDIT:.... (I checked) Yes Andy Kolle did have a good record... last 2 before williams had a record of 71-13-0 Thats pretty good.

His other lost comes to Andre ward and we know him...

[Pullcounter]

How does a guy who lost to Carlos Quintana, have the audacity to talk as much as Paul Williams is talking......

well, williams did destroy quintana in the 1st round of the rematch... I mean that's a pretty conclusive ending and definitely erases the 1st fight as an offnight.

As far as him fighting Margarito again, I firmly believe the only reason Paul won their fight was because Margarito had a very slow start, basically giving away the early rounds....AS everyone could clearly attest to, Williams was fading badly as the fight went on, and Margarito still made it a close fight.....Paul you are a very good fighter, try showing a little humility and let your ability speak for itself.........

1) margarito is always a slow starter. the only time he isn't is when he's put in there with mismatches and never-beens.

2) how did williams fade badly when he convincingly took the 12th?

3) I think margarito should practice some humilty by not calling himself the best at welterweight or the most feared man in boxing while he's ducking williams.

[ferocity]

I hope Arum makes the fight. Williams keeps fighting bums but calls out the best, lol.

[OldSkool]

i doubt that williams could even beat pavlik to be honest. kelly needs a couple of wins to boost his confidence, then a fight withn williams would be entertaining. im not sure williams could live with pavliks pressure though. beating kolle atmiddle is one thing, beating kelly "the ghost" pavlik at middleweight is a different matter altogether.

[Zarco]

keep telling your self that skinny willy. hopkins schools williams.

[ricky1978]

What happened in the rematch??

Oh yeah

Williams dropped that Bootyrican face first on the floor.

yeah, after he lost the title to and get his first lost, to "bootyrican" that got KOed by a smaller boxer in the 5th round, it took him a fight and 1 round to figure him out...
