    i did not say he should ONLY fight collazo and clottey, i said he should fight names like clottey and collazo (or cotto) to build his resume and kindle demand for fights with mayweather and pacquaio.

    cotto @ 154 is a good fight for him.

    And he tried very hard to secure a rematch against Tony which was unusual considered he won their first fight.

    He tried to fight Clottey but HBO didn't have the budget to compensate both fighter's demands.

    Bull****.. Tony chased him after the fight for a rematch williams and his team wanted no part of that immediate rematch.. Years later when Marg beat Cotto he wanted a rematch, but why would Marg then cater to him..

    Williams is a very good fighter but his career isn't being properly managed and he's not being set up for big future fights...

    There are fighters for Williams to fight from 147-160 but he only wants to fight the same 2 fighters the everyone else wants to fight, I love Paul as a fighter but he cant say "EVERYBODY" is ducking him when there are just 2 fighters not are not fighting him that goes for all the fighters who are on the I'm being ducked kick because they cant get a pac or floyd fight. Paul is a good to great fighter but there are PLENTY of fights and fighters who wanted to fight Paul

    i agree should fight the likes of cotto and clottey, but lets not forget those two fighters are under top rank i doubt that he would risk the loss to his fighterrs unless it was against another one of his fighters such as cotto vs pacman

    paul williams when using his height and not fighting like a hort man has got to be the mst awkward fighter in an around welter to middleweight. im not surprised pavlik didt want to fight him

    :D:yep never miss an opportunity

    williams has accomplished about everything he can/could have up to this point. he has some very solid wins. beating the **** outta any version of winky is an accomplishment as is a win over sergio.

    i hear he wants mosley? but then i also hear mosley/mora may be on? anyhow, i'd like to see paul go after miguel.

    paul looked good while trying to use his height against cintron. if he refined that technique, he would have a more effective style.

    williams problem is he is willing to go to other fighters weights instead of him going to a particular weight and staying their trying to dominate

    herbzg he got slightly wobbled by cintron because he was trying to fight using uppercuts and hooks while leaning over, if he sticks with the lonmg jab and left hand and fights short when theyre against the ropes then he beats nearly everyone

    because he consistently tries to fight short his chin has been looking shaky and he needs to address this before a ko happens

    I'm not convinced with Williams, he has achieved quite a bit considering he started his amateur career at 17 and only had about 20 or so fights. As far as skill level, I believe he's a bit hyped up because of his height and workrate

    You sure are a wind up artist aren't you? I'd bet you're 29 and already
    suffering from ED by the threads you post.
