Pavlik is a step up in class for Williams. No?

[Matt Marvelous]

Of course it's a step up. It's Paul's first real dangerous fight since he beat Margarito.

[El Angel]

Should be a good fight, if PWill handles Pavlik's punching power, he'll win a decision. If Pavlik can hurt him, Williams could be in for a short night.

Lets not get confused cause we fully don't know yet. So let's just say he has a welterweight chin. Pavlik is a PUNCHER at MIDDLEWEIGHT.

Lol Williams sparrs with HW's and he has taken shots from Glen Johnson, a natural LHW. Paul Williams has sparred with Chris Arreola and took nice shots from him. When I say Williams has a chin...I mean Williams has a chin.

On a side note, the Winky Wright that Williams foguth could beat the undefeated hyped up version of Pavlik, let alone the on from now. Imho.

I disagree, Winky was landing what he could call "bombs" on PWill, and a few seemed to at the least get PWill's attention, especially the 4th I think it was. These "bombs" that Winky speaks of are maybe a jab of Pavlik, if he were to get that many times, and that hard by Pavlik... I would definitely think it would slow him down a bit, if not knock him down. I'm still unsure of PWill's chin against a hard hitting MW, if he can handle the power he'll eat Pavlik alive. Also, Pavlik has good reach as well, PWill will still have a length advantage but it'll be the closest of his career I believe.

i think pwill is the most overrated fighter

hes gona need to use angles to win but he cant do it he doesnt have much boxing ability hes a volume puncher who takes alot of flush shots
and he cant fight on the inside...i think that pavlik ko's him by the 7th

[Pullcounter]

Lots of people looking for a Williams blow out but lets be logical here for a moment and at least aknowledge Pavlik is the biggest test of Williams career I dont care how much of a fan of his you are.

Not to say Pavlik is some amazing boxer but the guy is proven at MW and is no joke, has power, chin, stamina. He lost to Hopkins. Williams is not on Hopkins level.

pwilll did beat winky...

[Blue Heffner]

A step up in NAME, yes.

Pavlik took too long to handle his confidence builder Marco Antonio Rubio. He went 9 rounds with that bum that was barely even throwing anything.

Williams throws about 100 punches per round, has chin, stamina, and his uppercut will have Pavlik's head bobbling back all night. Too many punches from too many angles while Pavlik only throws jab, jab, right in the same angle.

Pavilk needs an opponent to stay in front of him to do what he does best which is double the ****in jab, touch that ****in guy in the nuts, and land bombs that ko fighters.....Rubio was running and terrified the whole time which made it hard fo Kelly to do what he does, PWill won't be running. He is a volume puncher and to be effective at what he does best he will need to be right in front of Pavlik, exactly where Pavlik wants him to be.
