It was recently revealed by Goossen-Tutor that Top Rank turned down a possible bout between WBO welterweight champion Paul Williams vs. WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik. Williams was willing to move up by two weight classes to make the fight. Williams is seen as a welterweight freak due to his physical dimensions. He stands at a near 6'3 and has the reach of a heavyweight. [details]

Is Goossen insane!?
It'd be a live beheading. -
Paul should stick to being anorexic. He would get hurt at 160.Comment

good thing going up two weight classes isn't really goodComment

That was an unexpected piece of news.... I thought it was a spam thread at first.
Pavlik would destroy Paul Williams. Paul is tall but he doesn't always fight like a tall fighter and he has a sub-par jab IMO. Why would Williams want to move up with the big boys if he can make the WW limit?Comment

Lol at these comments. Williams isn't picking on guys his own size. He melts down to 147 so he can pick on guys smaller. If Pavlik took this fight it'd be murder.Comment

Seriously. I find this article kind of funny. Trying to spin it like Pavlik is afraid of Williams.Originally posted by Live Dog View Post
