    Yet again another interview by Freddy Roach. He says Paul Williams didn't want to make 147 to fight pac? is this true?

    Scroll to 7.25.

    I find this hard to believe.:think

    I do not know why Freddy said that, but if it's true, it makes a complete mockery of PW's "most feared fighter" moniker. Goosen's #1 excuse for not pursuing a new date with Pavlik is that Paul is going back to 147, and fight a top guy.

    Paul Williams ducked Clottey, Pavlik and now Pacquiao.

    Looks like PDub's "most feared fighter" marketing gimmick is taking a serious hit.

    I think we gonna have to hear from paul williams about this, because the last interview i heard from williams was that he would love to fight pac at 147.

    I wouldn't be surprise too much at this. The more he jumps divisions up to 154 and 160 the harder it'll become to get back down to 147 comfortably.

    As a Pac fan, no way Manny should get in the ring with Paul Williams. Manny's official height is 5'6.5 but really is about 5'4. Paul Williams official height is 6'2" but in reality is closer to 6'3".

    That's almost a foot in height difference. Pac would literally have to jump up to hit Paul in the face. Paul should stay at 154 but I understand that he realizes the money fights are at 147.

    He spoke about how they will prepare for Clottey so the interview is just recent....

    ...you didn't watch the clip, did you?

    Booradley is a certified Paul Williams hater! He watched the clip after you asked him if he did!

    Maybe with the talk of Pac fighting Yuri Foreman at 154 maybe PW thought he could get the fight at 154?

    I seriously doubt Paul could make 147 safely ...

    That is a reasonable answer. However im sure once roach said 147 or nothing, Williams would have jumped at the chance.

    I mean not to long ago January in fact, he says he wants to fight the top fighters at WW.
