    It seems as if all of Al Heymons fighters love to talk so much crap. Berto thinks he is already elite but he hasnt fought a top 30 fighter yet. PBF at least backed up whatever he talked in the ring so until otherwise, he can talk all he wants.

    Now on to Paul Williams. I give him much respect for wanting to face tough oposision, however it was his camp who turned down 1.5 million to face Pavlik, he wanted 2.5 when Pavlik was only getting 2 million. HBO only offered 3.5 to Top Rank for the match up.

    Ok... so at least Paul Williams tried, I wouldnt blame him for not wanting ot ruin his career up versus Pavlik. However, why is he now saying that for Cotto to be the best in the division he has to go through Paul Williams because Paul already beat Margarito.

    Well, Paul............ Cotto defeated Quintana in 5 rounds in a punishing way. Quintana was no where near the same fighter he was post Cotto and Quintana still defeated Williams, a fight that Williams later came on to win in a rematch.

    Why is he now hating so much on the Cotto-Margarito match up?

    What Paul needs to do is simply go out and fight someone, he cannot just sit back and fight once or twice a year. I

    What is wrong with Paul Williams trying to position himself to setup a superfight against Cotto. He is telling the truth, he beat Margarito already. He avenged his lone loss in devastating fashion, ala Lennox Lewis.

    There are two top dogs in the division Williams and who ever wins Margarito/Cotto.

    its true though really....

    i mean if you didnt know the fighter was cotto and the argument was introduced like this

    fighter a fighter b and fighter c

    fighter a fights and beats fighter b
    fighter a wins against fighter b
    fighter c's biggest fight up to date is against fighter b
    if fighter c fights and beats fighter b

    whos to say fighter c is better than fighter a?

    but you gotta give cotto the edge just because hes so good
    but as a fighter you have to believe your the best..


    so you cant be too mad about williams saying that... plus paul williams has been saying he wanted to fight cotto for like the past 3 years

    No big deal, PW is just spouting self-promotional stuff to stay in the limelight (though i agree that many wannabe black fighters are trying the Ali I-am-the-greatest **** often..)

    Why does it have to be a black wannabe thing? It is a hungry fighter thing.

    According to Arum, they wanted $1.5 and Arum was offering $1.3 but eventually agreed to the $1.5. Once they got what the asked, the didnt' return calls. :lol:

    Because many black fighters idolize Ali but often fall short of even half what Ali was and had done? :D Most (not all) non-blacks, don't talk that much, they just fight.

    u shut up. The man speaks the truth. Cotto does need to beat Paul to leave without a doubt. Like we suppose to assume Cotto is the man when Paul is a fearsome Welter as well?

    hes right, the winner of cotto v margarito should face him to determine the best in the division, berto should face the winner of judah v clottey

    What the **** are you crying about? He's not even talking ****. What he said makes perfect sense. How the hell can Cotto claim to be the best in the division on the strength of beating Margo when Williams already beat Margo? Remember, that fight was only a year ago and Margo really hasn't had a significant win since. Yeah, Williams lost ot Quintana, but he knocked his ass out in 1 round in the rematch.
