    I actualy see Margs rematching Williams at MW wich would be a great fight maybe even for a MW title

    Margs wont be at WW to much longer thats why I dont think Cotto will rematch him

    Not sure.

    I find it strange that someone as big as Williams has been so much below 147 for some of his fights. I'm sure it's a struggle to make weight, but I'm just surprised that he isn't 147, or at least 146.5, for most of his fights.

    He was less than 146 for the Quintana rematch, as well as the Margarito and Mattheysse fights.

    paul williams is still growing taller i swear. i fink welterweight is killing him. he should move up and that should increase his punch power becuz he wont be so drained

    Williams was looking for a fight with Pavlik at 160, and is now probably going to fight Wright at 160. I don't think PW is going to be at 147lbs for much longer.

    They said Paul is about to fight a mandatory. I'm laughing at you Margo fans who are scared by Williams. Why worry about how much longer Williams is going to stay, none of you all are worried about Margarito.

    I dont know. Let him tell it, he can make the weight no problem, but let the fans tell it, he struggles to make the weight

    :huh thus the rematch clause??? I thought it would have been the CHAMP Margo that would have had the rematch clause at which point it wouldnt matter what Williams wanted:good

    Nah Margo wasnt all that keen on rematching right away...

    Why are Margorito fans scared of Williams? The first fight was close. Ring side press were split on the decision. I think Tony was really suprised by Paul's speed and activity and it iced him for the first half the fight, after that Tony seemed acclimated and really did well.

    Since then Paul's had two fights against the same guy. One where he was completely flat and embarrassed, the other was over before it started, and over before an assesment could be made to figure out if the results of the first fight were due to problems making weight.

    Rematch clauses are not allowed in mandatory title defenses.
