Pavlik-Williams fight is slowly inching toward reality
Published: Fri, July 31, 2009 @ 9:00 p.m.
YOUNGSTOWN — As negotiations for an Oct. 3 world middleweight championship title bout between Kelly Pavlik and Paul Williams near an end, there’s only one problem: Will the negotiations lead to a resolution or a breakdown?
Pavlik trainer Jack Loew confirmed that Williams is the “top dog” on Pavlik’s list, but he doesn’t know much beyond that.
“I know negotiations are going on and we’re definitely trying to fight Williams on Oct. 3. but, beyond that, I have no idea,” Loew said Friday.
“He’s in the forefront,” the WBC-WBO champion’s trainer said. “Williams is the guy we want to fight. It’s the fight all people want us to fight and one Kelly chose. Kelly wants the top dog.”

He will loose regardless. He is nothing but a washed out drunken bully.
I hope this fight happens and I hope Kelly knocks him out. This is the only fight that can propel Kelly back into the spotlight right now. Williams is highly regarded in boxing circles and unfortunately because of the loss to Hopkins, Kelly is considered over-rated. Obviously, I don't think Kelly is over-rated and this is a perfect chance to show everyone else how good he really is.
blkpride your wrong about pavlik. he has always conducted himself with dignity and respect. I would think that came from his family and the way he was raised. His fight interviews are pretty honest and humble, wich is refreshing. One loss to a hall of fame boxer does not define a career. As for his personal life, I dont think it can be very easy to be famous and still try to run in the same places that you are used to. Williams will give pavlik problems , I give pavlik credit for taking such a difficult fight..
