He's a young guy, it'll happen. Just hope the guys that have prematurely jumped his bandwagon stick around because in a few years he could be real good. It's at a weird generation-gap, he's not going to get the opportunity to fight the superstars today because he is not yet himself one. But he's likely a superstar in his generation, and he's leading the pack. I could see him winning titles at 154, but i'd love to see what he's like at 160....i don't see him making 147 after '08.

Say Cotto fights Williams over Mayweather or DLH...starches Williams, then everyone will say he took the easy fight because Williams is essentially unproven having only one title fight under his belt. There's no money in the fight. What fight has Williams sold out? How many title defenses has he had? How many fans show up to his weigh-in's and public training sessions? How many casual fans have heard the name Paul Williams, and how many people will thrown down 2000 dollars to see his fight ringside?

This is a business just as much as a sport. If you understand the business aspect, you won't make stupid posts. He needs to keep winning to get the bigger fights, period. DESERVING a fight is EARNING a fight. If he keeps winning, he gets his just do. There's no need to throw him to the wolves. The sport has been this way for decades, it's not changing, deal with it. How long have you followed the sport? Two years? Why do you think MMA is dying? IF you don't build a big fight, you never have that blockbuster...and more money and fame and legendary status is awarded in the MEGA fights. Imagine Paul Williams - Cotto 24/7....that **** wouldn't sell. Paul doesn't have an image, a persona with the media. He's dull...he's dry. A few years from now he'll be more comfortable, grow into his role, and maybe be something special.

Take a breather there bro....I have seriously followed this sport for close to 17 years now !

You must make an effort to cope with what I'm saying and lets keep it clean from here on and not disrespect each other.

I understand the business of the game as much as anyone can, no doubt. That's not the issue I want you to concentrate on my friend. The problem is that too many people continue discussing the money aspect when matching who should face who....We all know reality will always take into account the money aspect as the most important aspect to consider..

I'm just concentrating on the fighting aspect as a true fan of boxing. Many of us would love to see all possible good fights being made, based on the talent at hand in the present ! If we all agree as of now who the top 4 fighters are in the welterweight division for example, then doesn't common sense say it would be exciting to see these 4 boxers fight each other ? It sure would...

Isn't Williams in the top 4 talent wise in the welterweights ?
If so then lets see him fight Cotto ! If he starches Williams, then good because that would mean he beat a top 4 fighter in the division !! It means a lot to us true fans who want to see the best possible fights and legitimately adds to the real worth of fighters !

Not fights like Mayweather-Baldomir or Mayweather-Sharmba Mitchell !!

He is pure throwback fighter. Also representing the South, where fighters were not taken seriously.

I gotta disagree just a tad. What matters most is the top guy's squaring off! YES, they gotta earn those spots. Boxing will gain fans if they keep matching the elite. If TV Crews cant develop entetaining formatting to the best vs the best? Maybe they need better crews:yep

Floyd needs BOTH opponents to add real legacy wins to his record. Since they are both younger, it sets up better events between those two when the time comes.

Sold out? What did Floyd sell out a few years ago? It sickens me that they call the mismatching, shucking, jiving, ineffective talk to be WHAT SELLS AG GUY or gives him a rep. THATS BS!!!

WINS and QUALITY WINS are what makes you:good The people will not only BUY IT MORE, they want it, witness 2007. The OLD STYLE of running **** must ADAPT. Thats the lesson to be learned from MMA.
