I'm just wondering, cuz I know alotta Mayweather fans are Williams fans also, and I have heard much itsh talked about Pavlik ducking this guy and that and fighting tomato cans. Well now Pavlik is essentially mirroring Floyd, and fighting the next best guy at 160 (It is Martinez, let's be clear about that). Let's not argue over who he shoud be fighting. He's fighting the #2 challenger, as far as I'm concerned. So Floyd fans, here's the question. Is Pavlik a scared punk or is he making an effort to take on top opposition ?

Im a Floyd fan and I like Williams also. I like Pavlik too, I just really wanted them to fight and since it didnt happen everyone was dissapointed because aside from Williams. There isnt many top fighters for Kelly to fight other than Martinez obviously. There isnt much else out there and I think people are frustrated with that because the middleweight division used to be so much better than it is now.
I got nothing against Pavlik though and I think the fight with Martinez should be very interesting. The winner should fight Williams no doubt.Comment

I'm a Pavlik fan and I love the Martinez fight, but calling Martinez the second best MW is asinine. Based on a close fight that he lost to a guy that can fight at 147 as well? Sturm, Sylvester, all those Euro guys have a much better claim at being #2 behind Kelly than Martinez or Williams.Comment

Floyd stans don't have the right to knock any fighter's courage
and Floyd stans don't like Williams anymore
they hopped off that bandwagon
Williams challenged Floyd, so the Paul nuthugging is dead
Milton's the only one of them who truly rode for WilliamsComment

I don't think he's ducked anyone. Arum should've made more effort to get Arthur Abraham over to the states for a fight when he was still at 160, but aside from that I don't really think the reasons for Pavlik's lack of opposition since mid 2008 can be attributed to anything other than injuries and lack of solid challengers. And if Marco Rubio hadn't been so gun shy in their fight, I think Pavlik would get a little less crap, because Rubio was supposed to be at least troublesome if not at least a small threat. Not Pavlik's fault that once Rubio felt the power of the Ghost in the opening round he curled up into a ball til the corner stopped it.Comment

It's an insult to Floyd Mayweather to mention him in the same sentence as Kelly Pavlik.
Call Floyd whatever you want, I don't care, but fighting Lockett, getting beat up by a 44year old Hopkins, fighting Rubio, & Espino can't be compared to fighting DLH, Hatton, Marquez and now Mosley. At least Floyd is fighting name opponents who some boxing fans gave them chances to beat Floyd. Pavlik has been fighting no hopers after his Taylor win and even cherrypicked Hopkins thinking he was going to KO him. Martinez is the first fight after Hopkins that fans see it as 50-50. The only fight Floyd was in that almost nobody gave his opponent a chance to win was against Marquez and there were several people thinking Marquez can pull it off.
Like I said, call Floyd whatever you want, it doesn't bother me. But don't try to compare him to Pavlik please that's just crossing the line.Comment
