Why are Pac and Mayweather avoiding Paul Williams?

they aint avoiding him. lets see him beat a legitimate 147 pounder sometime soon and he might have a point.

his last 2 fights at 147 where 2 years ago(give or take) and he went 1-1 with quintana.

now was he to beat the likes of berto and mosley or cotto or any decent 147 pounder he might well have a claim.

 

they aren't

 

first. how long ago was that?

second. in his next fight he lost convincingly to quintana.

i think the pac fight vs margo is bull****, but he aint avoiding williams. williams has done nothing at 147 for years.

 

And then KO"d him in the rematch.

He hasn't done anything in years at 147 because Pac, Floyd, and Shane avoided him so he was forced to move up but always kept one foot in the division just in case their balls dropped.




A Win over Plaster-Boy Margarito for a title + being avoided by the big names like Pac, Shane and Floyd is all you need.

 

Mayweather is a welterweight, Paul isn't.

Pacquiao, well according to Bob Arum Williams isn't a draw(but Clottey is?)

 

oh ye, people avoided him so he had to move up in weight. what about cotto, berto and clottey? or did all them avoid him too?

the truth is he fought 1 round at 147 in the 2nd half of 2008. that doesnt just grant him a fight vs the best 147 pounders today. he should prove himself against the yop contenders in that division if he wants to fight the best.

 

yes it was, and we agree it was a looooong time ago. since then he lost to quintana, rematched him and then moved up in weight. he didnt stay at 147 and fight anyone else.

 

If Williams wants to be taken seriously as a welterweight then he needs to have a fight at 147 rather than talking about it.

By taking out Clottey or Berto he will at least get the likes of HBO and ESPN talking him up as an opponent rather than just people on forums.

 

how is he a 2/3 division champ?

PW is a 1 division champ, with 0 successful title defenses in his entire career.

 

no he aint a 2/3 division champ. he won two title fights. he should be a two division champ cos he beat verno phillips.

listen he hasnt fought at 147 in 2 years. if he is comfortable at 147 why is this the case? and please dont try telling me you see wins over kolle and phillips as better than berto and clottey?

 

Most credible opponent for anyone at 147?last time i checked the best two fighters in the world both fight at welterweight and their name isnt Paul Williams.
