    This will be great if it gets made.

    I think the best fights for Pavlik ATM in order are....

    Williams
    Sturm
    Mundine

    Pav VS PW is a 50/ 50 each way fight for mine

    Paul has terrible management if they allow him to do this. He isn't ready for 160 and Pavlik will take him out.

    Someone who thinks like me:good, it is not who is better and who is not, it comes down one's limits, and paul is biting more then he can chew, Pavlik is no andy kolle and I hope the outcome is not going to affect pwills health, and I am serious about that.

    Considering that he dominated nearly every minute of every round against Winky and that there's seemingly no other big name fighter that's either available or even wants to fight him, I'd say that win or lose PTP and his management are taking the correct calculated risk.

    If PW beats Pavlik his P4P stock will go through the roof....if PW gets beaten its that hes a 154 fighter that bit off more than he can chew....wont hurt his rating all that much.

    People see more in him than you and I seem to. I'll admit to not being the best analyst, but geez. People went ape **** over the punch Paul threw under his elbow. Big deal. It landed and meant NOTHING. Being creative is good when it is effective. I've said all along that I thought Kelly could put a serious hurt on PW. Boo felt the same but decided if Ring Magazine had him listed as #3 then who is he to argue? Before Bhop, Kelly is on record as saying a win over PW would mean little because people would say he was a WW. I guess people put LOTS of stock in the win over Winky.

    He won't have the reach advantage he had overt Mararito and Wright so he has to be in range to throw his own punches. So it isn't a question of staying out of range. He HAS to be in Pavlik's range to throw. Against Wright he threw a lot of arm punches. Kelly will eat those like skittles to land his own.

    You forgot one point:

    PW is a southpaw, which may present some trouble for KP. But Kellys best punch is his cannon of a right hand, & that could present ALOT of trouble for PW.

    This is gonna be a very good battle. Both have a high workrate. I just think that Pavlik packs more of a wallop & as the fight wears on, Paul can only back up so much until he finally get caught with a bomb.

    im goin on record and saying that paul WILL get hit by pavlik best punch and take it. it will affect him but he will withstand it and win. but he will get hit AT LEAST 3 monster punches.

    PW is a bad style matchup for most fighters.

    During the interview Jack said he and Kelly had been talking about why that fight never got made. Neither of them knew exactly. I have stated before, there seems to be a disconnect between Kelly and Arum. I think that may have been addressed during the last contract negotiation.
