    Nope. for the 5 mil they spent on it, it was a waste but not the lowest rating.

    I read here that at the time for WCB in the States it was indeed the lowest rating but it's been over 2 years since.

    --------: I interviewed Kelly Pavlik last week and he said they are still looking to fight Paul early next year. Is that a fight you guys would still be willing to entertain?
    George Peterson: I forgot all about Kelly Pavlik. We don't even want to talk about him. We can end this conversation about Kelly Pavlik right now.
    --------: I know its a sore spot. So you just don't want to try to fight him anymore?
    George Peterson: This has been three times man with this Kelly Pavlik thing. We don't want to hear his name and he doesn't really want to hear Paul's name to be honest with you.
    --------: Kelly told me when the fight was made with Bernard Hopkins they were trying to make a fight with Paul and it never materialized. Do you recall that?
    George Peterson: (laughing) You have never seen a human being that Paul Williams wouldn't fight. You can believe that brother. Not Paul Williams. Paul Williams will fight anybody. Paul Williams has been waiting on him. This isn't on Paul Williams. He (Kelly) lied about that. We never ducked him.

    :lol: ok i get it. i read that too. but crazier things have happened than someone from a fighters camp saying something this defnite and then a fight happening. if the deal is very good for paul...i can see him saying, fine i'll take that $$ and take your straps too. if kelly moves up w/o trying to make a williams fight again, then i won't have a lot to counter what george is saying towards the end up there.

    you are correct. Cal - Kessler was the lowest at one point. then Cotto- Gomez took over then Pavlik - Lockett. I'll find the link. it was a thomas Hauser article.

    Peterson talks out his ass constantly. This is the same guy who said Pavlik's chin was "pure grade A china." Peterson also failed to acknowledge the fact that Williams did indeed turn down a fight with KP in 2008. Actually it was Al Haymon that ****ed things up, but at the time it looked intentional.

    Just watched Bute's clinical finish of Andrade - that was perfect. He saw Andrade didn't get his right back in time, and he just fired in underneath. Excellent, high-speed decision making.

    Lucian, is as big as Kelly, and is a better boxer.
