    To be honest, there's a lot of names in there that can and will give him LOADS of trouble.

    I honestly don't think so.

    I also think he would have a hard time with guys like Forrest, Dzinziruk and even up&coming guys like Angulo and Kirkland.

    I think all the champs give him lots of trouble, id be surprised if he unified without a loss. 154 is an underrated division we jus need to get the fights together. Dizi Vs Williams is a good start.

    Santos and Sergio martinez are the only threats i see at JMW. I only see a slickster beating williams.

    I give Williams a lot of props for jumping up to 154.

    The division is literally stacked and there will be awesome showdowns in 2009-2010.

    PW could've easily prowled the waters in 147 whilst awaiting big money fights, but this is risky business.. there's a lot of difference in size between 147 and 154.

    I know Forrest looked really good in the rematch with Mora, but I think Williams beats him now. I don't think he beats Vernon in his prime though.

    i think Williams should def stay in the 154lb division until Margarito wants to fight him again.

    then again, it would be bad for business because theres alot of risk with low reward since very few people know anyone in jr. middleweights but Delahoya really.
