    In the past year or so Williams has been on the undercard of Arreola fights and Vernon Forrest fights, tells you a lot about his marketability.

    He's crazy not to take 1.5 mill. Crazy.

          I said this before and like i said before i wouldnt blame pavlik if the fight doesnt happen, 1.5million to pavlik's 2.25 million is good enough for williams...

            Pavlik is a bigger star, but Goosen does have some leverage w/ HBO not shelling out that much money for any other fighter for Pavlik, despite his draw.

              1.5 williams

              2.25 pavlik

              seems pretty reasonable to me.

                P-Will what are u other options? You can't draw,no one knows who u are,and there are no stars at 54 or 60 besides Pavlik. A win on HBO gives him the 160 crown and will help get him in the publics view. Plus he making over a million. How is this not good for Williams? Quit crying about being avoided and take the fight and what is being offered if u don't UR A FOOL.

                  Why the hell would he not? He'll beat Pavlik EASY..just look what he did to Wright, and look what Hopkins did to Pavlik.

                  Please, easy easy UD for Williams.

                    What would Kelly take though, depends on the purse split.

                    I kinda think Kelly has as few options and should probably go for it.

                    It's not like there's any other real name opponents left around him now, so he should be willing to sacrifice more than he otherwise might.

                      Ddue he is giving Williams 1.5mil it is a difference of 750k and pavlik is the draw and has the belts to boot. Williams should stop his blood clot crying and get it on with pavlik. If he thinks he is such bad ass and can take a real middle weights punch then get in there take Pavlik on. If he wins he takes on the Undisputed MW Title and can market himself.....Lefty
