    I agree with you. Williams has never fought a true 160 punder. Winky Wright threw 10 punches a round and never landed, he stood there and let Paul get off. Kellys gonna throw strong 160 pound punches and keep pressure on Paul.

      Sometimes i just dont know.
      1) pavlik is the toughest fight at 160 right now

      2) there are no other better options at 160

        1. Pavlik is basically a dumber version of Margarito without the plateau of power.

        2. In terms of accolades, no one. In terms of ability, Sturm and Abraham would have been more than a challange for PWill. But AA is signed for the super tourney now.

        PWill win.

          If Williams said that then he doesn't use his head too much.

              Oh for god's sake Pavlik barely beat Jermain Taylor the second time and he's gonna beat a guy who throws 100 punches per round?

              He lost to an old man who throws 10 punches per round.

                pwill gets hit too easily... i dunno if he wants to do that against pavlik

                He lost to an old man who throws 10 punches per round.
                hopkins was alot more active than that against pavlik.

                  I think Paul Williams will be Koed.

                    He took this fight because its the only fight right now that he can make over a million dollars. He can win but it wont be easy at all.

                      Khan has been fighting nothing but soft punchers since he got knocked the puck out. Big difference. Neither fighter should take the other lightly and I seriously doubt either fighter is looking past one another.
