    Nobody is at 160, big money is at 147 not 154, I understand the want to put himself in the spot light at 147, there are a lot of big money names that are going to be at 147, 154 is full over over the hill 147 fighters and unproven hype jobs, and a few diamonds but who are big risk litte rewards for someone P-Wills age.

    I don't care who you are, it's gonna be hard to get a direct flight into Augusta, GA.:lol::lol::lol:


    Plus, Paul don't care 'bout **** like that. We was all in the Airport just chillin' gettin something to eat, and it gave him a chance to buy a few souvenirs and stuff for people back home. He's just a big kid enjoying all this ****.

    I find it amusing how he is always noticably fighting off a perma- smile when he's walking to the ring before a fight. He doesn't seem to have a care in the world.

    Cheers man, good interview.

    Surprised he can still get back to 147. Maybe he could get a fight with berto or mosley

    I'm not sure how anyone can't like Paul Williams. The guys is one of the few guys in the sport who I have no doubt will fight anyone. I also think he should forget 147 and make himself the top guy at 154 or 160. He'll probably never land a fight with Mayweather or Pacquaio so the only big guys that leave at 147 are Berto and Mosley and a Mosley fight could just as easily be done at 154.

    If Williams stays at 154 and becomes the top guy in the division he'll have plenty of interesting fights. Cotto and Margartio are both fighting there now and in a year or two Williams could have some big fights with Angulo or Kirkland. And of course he has Martinez at 154 or 160 in a big rematch.

    I do know I'm not too crazy about a Cintron rematch. If it happens then its ok but I'd rather see Williams go in another direction right now. Martinez, Cotto, or Margartio would be my preferences right now unless he lands a Mayweather or Pacquaio fight which is probably next to impossible.

    I hear ya man. The problem is, he is just too small for 160, to be honest. Trust me when I tell you he isn't weight-draining to make 147. 154 is almost too big. He just got sick of eating so goddamn much and that's why he came in at 152.5 instead of 154 for this fight. He walks around a little heavier, but once he starts training and doing his conditioning, he loses the weight quickly.

    You think he's skinny? You should see his brothers Levy and Leon. Them dudes are even skinnier. He really is just a skinny-ass dude.

    Williams try to just boxed use his height in the Cintron fight but when that didn't work, Williams went to his old self and just let it all hangout in the 4th round in which after that Cintron took an easy way out with a fake injury.

    Great work man.

    I like Williams, seems like a down to earth decent fellow happy to do his thing. It would be easy for him to be really bitter about the fact that he should be much more popular by now than he is but he seems pretty cool about it. What does he have to do to get a pop off Mayweather?

    Be Mayweather's retirement fight. They're both managed by Al Hyamon. I don't think he would want Floyd's stock to go down in case of a loss right now, but once he retires it won't matter.

    I have always felt this way about him. He is a skinny ass dude. He should fight at 147. The Cintron fight could have been at 147. If you come in to your welterweight fights weighing 145 3/4 you are a f'n Welterweight.

    PW chicken? Are you out of your ****ing mind? I'm no huge PW fan, but I respect him. That mother****er ain't scared of no man, and if he could get a money fight against Shane or anyone else he's gonna be there.
