    He is not the most feared, he is in Winkys position he just isnt marketable, he doesnt bring the fans out to see him there is no demand for Paul Williams....
    Thats why he isnt getting big fights, cus he doesnt draw big money..

    Not quite, you can win, but still put up an unsatisfactory performance.

    It's a difference from calling somebody out like calzaghe did, and fighting an old out of shape delahoya like pac cakes. The punisher called out pavlik, B-hop, sugar shane, and cotto. None answered. So winky steped up to the plate and said he'll fight. So hmmmmmm what would i do. Not fight nobody and dont get paid, and not stay on top of my game. Or fight this cat to stay in shape and warmed up so when an opening come up I will still be ready. You do the math.

    exactly. there's what they call "big risk, small reward" type of fighters, it just so happened that he's one of them.

    So you're saying Pavlik is so scared of Williams he purposely put his life in danger by getting staff infection to avoid the fight?????

    Fighters fight. If you are a champ you have a fan base plus PPV ratings. Fighters Fight and thats it. If they want it bad enough their management mwill make it happen. Talking bout there is no demand for Williams is a bunch of b/s. They just use that as a cop out. We the fans and press know different. Look at your boy Pavlik. Hurt again so HE says. LOL. Naaaa. How about he's just pus you see

    Wow.

    Pacquaio is seriously winning this? Pacquaio is a bruiser who relies on power to get the job done.

    Calzaghe is a guy who converted from a bruiser to a boxer who relies on speed, angles and ability to get the job done.

    This is the most *******ed thread ever.

    Yeah, it is clearly Calzaghe.

    Pacquiao is not as versatile, but what he does he does really well of course.

    YES. He just fought a cat not to long ago and he had the so called staff infection. whats so different with williams. He's just another guy right??????? If you cant answer it i'll do it for you. Hell na!!!! Thats why kelly is pulling out. He know he has to be in tip top shape and have his A game. That to me shows mad respect for Paul.

    Just another proof that the poll could be "who is taller - Valuev or Pac?" - and Pac would probably 'win' the poll...

    Actually sad that such a good fighter has so many 'fans' who are just press 'Pac" no matter what the issue is. It sort of makes any poll with Pac in it untrustworthy.

    His last fight was 8 months ago.... and that fight was actually postponed... oh and you do know staff infection worstens don't you??? So you expect Pavlik to just stop taking all his medication to go fight and possibly die??

    Look at those things that I highlighted. That came from your own word on what Calzaghe has become.

    Who has more speed, Calzaghe or Pac?

    Who fights better on angles, Calzaghe or Pac?

    Ability is so broad that it's difficult to gauge. Maybe you can specify what ability you are talking about and then let's compare them again.

    You are just emotional because Calzaghe is losing on the poll. But if we use your own criteria of a good boxer, Pac still wins hands down.

    Who you think is the most skilled is a moot point as at the end of the day you can only truly judge a fighters skills when you compare them against those they have faced in the ring.

    The most skilled fighter Calzaghe ever faced was 43 years old, and a lot of people thought he lost.

    Pacquiao on the other hand has looked good beating the likes of a prime Barrera.

    For me this is all I need to know.

    There is proof that pavliks hand is ****ed up, there is a photo out there on F News, and if you dont know, he nearly died ****ing around like this...

    Williams isnt ****, he doesnt fight with skill, he is just a big ******ed kid that throws alot of shots, he doesnt place **** he relys on his size and a high work rate to win fights, he has already been exposed by Quintana.....

    Look at it like this, God didnt want paul to get hurt, so he gave Pavlik a staff infection in his hand...:hi:

    Joe looked like a rank amateur for most of the bout with limited athleticism and technique. Only a Joe Buttdog could be overly impressed - or, a really poor (non) athlete who can't differentiate between excellent and merely "good" physical attributes.
