Comments Thread For: Paul Williams' Promoter Fires Back at Kelly Pavlik, Arum

[the mesiah]

all i know is paul had problems with a jr. Middle weight and i don't see him getting any better against a bigger man at 100%. I think paul will sleep from this, deep sleep.

if u going to compare p-will's last fight ,u got to also remember sergio aint no punk. He's probably at least the #2 rated 154 pounder in the divison ,if not the #1 rated. Style is way diff than staphvlik's..if they fight lets bet..ill take p-dub.

Hopefully the fight goes down sometime next year...

I don't give a **** about who ducked who and who didn't sign this or that anymore...

Well said. I just want the fight to take place.

Williams is overrated ! Lets see,,, name the wars in the past three years he has been in with ??? It was patsy with Margo,,, Margo just blew that one , then it was whats his name that beat the ****ens outa him,,,,,, then he came back to KO the dude, same dude that Cotto KO'd, then patsy with over the hill gang dude,,,, then Martinez and GOT BEAT , Martinez was ROBBED.

All during this year Kelly was fighting a staph infection,,,,, bad stuff , much worse than what ever Williams could do to Kelly.

This was a good come back fight,,,,, see he was HONEST,,,, something lacking in fighters today, he is Game and has nothing to hide ! No one wants to fight if not ready,,,,,insanity to think different.

Kelly will fight Williams ,, he got the rust out and is ready to KO Williams and move on to greater things.

Taking cheap shots at a person's medical condition is low even for slime like a boxing promoter. You expect it from a trainer but a promoter should know better, as there may come a time in the future when Goossen may have a chance to sign Pavlik...promoters usually don't burn bridges by taking cheap trash shots.

goosen is a ****. How can someone with no belts command a 50/50 split for a fight with the lineal champ? He cant, it dosnt matter that pavliks fight wasnt as good or financially prosperous as Williams (Williams fought a world champion too, not a #3 contender) Pavlik is the champ, he gets more.
Ive got pavlik winning by KO in the 10th.

[ShoulderRoll]

If Pavlik and Arum don't like the 50-50 proposition, to hell with them. Williams will just go on to rematch Sergio Martinez (probably with Martinez' 154-pound title on the line this time.)

Pavlik can then continue to fight the Locketts, Rubios and Espinos of the world. Lord knows he ain't getting in there with Lucian Bute.

[Pullcounter]

pavlik's the champ. if pwill don't like it he can go back to 154 lbs.

50/50 = the fight isn't happening

[HAWK2916]

50/50 is fair after all the postponing.

[Matt Marvelous]

It's a 50/50 fight now. This isn't 2007. Pavlik doesn't draw **** anymore, as evidenced last night. Paul has a better resume and probably more fans nationwide now. If anything, Williams deserves a bigger cut.

Why Team Williams will dog Pavlik for having a medical condition i dont know.They sound foolish to say Kelly was ducking Williams.Thats the lowest thing a fighter could say about another fighter.
Pavlik learned his lesson fighting B-Hop after just barely coming off having bronchitis.When asked from reporter what he learned from the B-hop fight and Kelly responed "you just dont fight if not 100%".Kelly did say he went on with the fight even though setback because of all the money on the table.
IMO the fight should be 60-40 for Pavlik the champ but my guess is Pavlik will take the 50-50 just to fight Williams.We will see.
