    Pavlik by stoppage. Might sound like an interesting choice to some, but I'm confident they'll get a sense when the time comes.

    Without Taylor, Hopkins, and Abraham ... the middleweight division is very weak ... Pavlik has no competition and has been feasting on lesser opponents ... yeah he beat Taylor once but the second fight was questionable ... I also think that Williams is a totally different evil than the likes of Rubio, Lockett, Miranda, and Zuniga ... those guys were one dimensional and weren't very good boxers ... Taylor underestimated him and Hopkins ran through him ... I can't name anyone outside of Taylor who could box on an elite level ... Williams can and he's something that Pavlik has never seen ... a true athletic, high volume puncher, who can box his ass off.

    He's no different than any other great fighter who was a welterweight who went on to win a MW title ...

    Please do not tell me you are comparing Paul Williams with Leonard and Hearns:patsch PW wouldn't last 3 rounds with Tommy, and SRL would make him look plain foolish.

    The "tire" is sitting outside of SSBC, waiting for Kelly. PW is going to get a right sledgehammer. KP = KO rd7.

    not really, with Williams defense Pavlik will be landing his best shots and slowly will break him down. Also Williams doesn't have his usual size advantage which will affect him greatly.

    I remember a poll like this was up a month ago and more people thought PW was going to win by UD than KP by ko. Can't wait for the countdown show

    I think it should be a very good fite and pavlik will take it with a late stoppage......Paul Williams was at his best a Welter and Pavlik Middleweight so in my eyes pavlik will have too much power and too good of a jab to let williams fite the way he wants...also i dont know whether Williams will take Pavliks punches too well

    nice parachute to bail out of your prediction, i wish i could make bets like that

    "I bet that Pavlik will win as long as he can deal with what Williams brings"
