Paul Williams To Return on October 3, Without Pavlik

[switchsouthpaw]

i don't like paul williams but i'm on his side for this particular situation. kelli has been a ***** sense the B-hop ass whooppin. all he wants to fight is little guys like Rubio,martinez,mora,and williams who has talent but don't have power at 160. kelli the ***** pavlik

Remember when Jermain Taylor was getting the same flack for fighting the same level of competition? Arum would vehemently state that Pavlik wouldn't do that, describing him as a tough as nails throw back, blue collar fighter that would take on all comers? Yeah...until his deficiencies start to show up and Arum realizes he will have to stretch this reign out a little longer before throwing his man to the wolves.

Bottom line is that Quintana was KO'd in one round 14 months ago, and hasn't fought anyone meaningful since.

Exactley..he hasnt done anything because he isnt really that good...

Except he avenged that loss by KO, he didn't fight Gary Lockett, or a guy named Rubio. If you present a counterpoint, make sure it's a valid one.

the bolded part? yeah, it doesn't mean ****. especially when your last 3 opponents are 115 years old when put together

Well, Cotto fought a watered down version of Winky Wright regardless of age and barely squeaked by him. I think even that version of Winky Wright that Williams fought would beat Cotto. And I'm saying that as someone who views Cotto as a more exciting fighter than Winky as far as entertainment value goes.
