    Williams' promoter Dan Goossen*became upset when he made his daily run to the scene and*saw a particular*news brief that*caught his attention very quickly.

    Mosely will not take this fight ever. He won't make enough and he will lose an easy decision.

    Mosley always gives fighter's an opportunity. Both him & Williams have other targets right now, Mosley wants Pac or Mayweather, Williams wants to entice Calzaghe out of retirement and fight him at 168.

    I have a real feeling this fight with happen, both are avoided, both look unlikely to get their wanted fights at this stage, in my opinion, and both certainly aren't fighters to duck anybody.

    Honestly, Mosley vs Williams would be one of the best fights that can be made right now. But I doubt it happens.

    Pretty much. If Shane gets kicked out on a potential Manny fight, he'll either fight Berto or Williams. IF Cotto loses to Clottey, Mosley is all there to pick up the pieces for Pac.

    Williams looked too good, nobody wants to be the next Wright.

    Where's Relentless? I'm anxious to see how he defends this one.

    I concur. Surely people should realise by now that most fighters take the fight with the least risk and the biggest monetary reward. Unfortunately, even though he is my fave American fighter, I have to admit that Paul Williams still isn't a massive name and, IMO, this will continue as people will keep ducking him as he is a monumental risk. Let's be fair, who would want to fight him? Anyone who faces 'the Punisher' is a man's man, plain and simple. I think if Mosley does face Pacquiao then the winner of Cotto- Clottey could be a more than probable opponent for Williams. I have no doubts that Cotto would take the fight if he were to beat Clottey and it were offered to him.

    Shane is a great fighter and would give Paq. all he could handle. Paul W is all wrong for Shane. Too tall and very well conditioned with power to hurt anyone. Remember what happened when Shane fought a tall fighter named Vernon F. I see the same type of fight. Shane does good against the rest of the WW.

    No. Williams wont fight at 147 again. No one wants him. Except Clottey.

    Think it's obvious he doesn't when he's trying to fight Pacquiao. Shane fears no one and will fight anyone, sadly Williams isn't a big enough name and I know that Williams is trying to get these guys to fight him to establish a name but Mosley is the wrong opponent. Mosley is 37, he's not even supposed to be fighting so I can't really blame him for chasing the big money fights and only those. There are others out there that can offer triple amount of money and credit for Mosley to fight than Williams so he's not forced to take this if he doesn't need to.
