Is Pavlik - Williams going to happen?

[Crazylegs77]

Any word on this? Last I hear Williams side wanted more money.

[Shattered Jaw]

There are indications it's a done deal. Goosen and Haymon are a bunch of idiots if they try to squeeze Top Rank and Kelly too hard.

Mannn I hope this fight happens!

I dont get why Williams promoters would argue for more $$ and potentially ruin the deal he is not a draw and is lucky to get this shot.

Exactly. Although in some ways Williams star is rising with the recent beatdowns he has issued while Pavlik got schooled by an OAP and then looked like crap against some random mandatory. Still 50:50 is more than generous to Williams.

Hopkins has wrecked Pavlik, and badly at that.

The guys done.

I don't agree that he wrecked him per se, but he did strip him of a lot of confidence I believe. But he'll be fine. But in todays boxing standards from the point of us "fans." If Pav loses to Williams most everyone will right him off and say he is done just for losing another fight.

But I really do hope this happens. Wish it was on the same card as Klit-Arreola. Hope it's in AC too.

Na, Believe me, the guys done.

I can't really see him achieving ANYTHING big from now on, It's just the feeling I get, I had the same feeling for Lacy, and Hamed too.

[Silencers]

Negotiations are still going, nothing is signed and sealed yet but it's supposed to be close to being done.

Nah I feel ya, And can see why you would think that. I just need to see more to actually see if he is or not. I don't think that Rubio fight was any indication.
