    This has been discussed, but since it is now being floated by various sources including local media and Dan Rafael, who would win the middleweight title showdown between the reigning and defending WBC/WBO/The Ring Middleweight Champion Kelly Pavlik and current WBO Interim Jr. Middleweight Champion Paul Williams? This is after Williams continued march between 147-160 divisions and Pavlik's historic defeat at the hands of Bernard Hopkins.

    Depends on how much of the pre - Hopkins Pavlik is still there...

    That version of Pavlik always found a way to win, overcame Taylor's better handspeed and movement and probably could stop Williams late. With the changes in his character, I don't know if he still has that mental strength if Williams uses his speed and skills to win the early rounds. Will be an exciting fight either way.

    If the fight goes to the judges then i can see williams winning but i just dont know if williams can take pavlik's power. Williams do have a good chin but he hasn't face a puncher like pavlik. So pavlik by tko or Ko.
