So much is made of William's "height" vs Pavlik

[TyrantT316]

When really there may only be a 1 or 2 inch height difference between two tall guys...

However remember that Paul is used to fighting guys who don't come close to matching his overall size/height. While Pavlik is a full fledged MW and maybe bigger. He's also very strong (as I am sure Williams is) and is now slouch in the punch activity department.

It will be a great fight that I am looking forward to. I want Paul to win, but have sentiment for Pavlik to win based on coming back from the hard Hopkins loss.

But this will be more new for Williams than it is for Pavlik. The Ghost has been in there with a big Taylor, Miranda and Hopkins.

Also people overlook the fact that Williams doesn't even fight tall.. and he doesn't use his reach that much... often crouched over, and often fighting up close and on the inside ocassionally..

I've seen a pic of them standing next to eachother and they look of exact same height to me.

He used it well against Wright, but I fear that Williams is overlooking just how big and powerful Pavlik is. I don't think Pavliks as affected by the Hopkins fight as people think..

I think Pavlik will be fine... he didnt get hurt or anything in that fight he just got soundly outboxed... it wasn't a beating or anything.. Pavlik will be fine.

That's the problem though, that people are making too much of a 1, 1 1/2 in height difference between two WORLD CLASS fighters

press conference photos with various types of shoes, sneakers, floor platforms, etc don't tell the story...

If one is listed at 6'2 and the other at 6'2 1/2...that means nothing between two world class fighters
