I dont see how its a smart move for him if he cant get Floyd or Manny to fight him. Lets face it, Manny-Floyd is the fight that shold be made above all others. There is no reward fighting a guy like PW with the risk involved. Thats why I dont see PW fighting thos two guys. PW should just have a stay busy fight at 160 and wait for the winner of Pavlik-Martinez fight.
Paul would indeed be the most avoided fighter in boxing if he goes back to WW. His height, reach advantages literally make him too tall an order. Who would want to fight him with the exception of maybe Mosley. Seems there will be some movement in or around 154, guys moving up, down, so I think he should settle in there. Cintron is a good start, not a gimme fight, but a guy I expect PW to wear down. I would like to see a Margo rematch and hope PW beats him into retirement.
What happened to "3 divisions frozen in fear?" What happend to "Pavlik has a china chin. Paul will just step to him and knock him out?" What happened to "I'd do exactly what Hopkins did, only I'd knock him out?" I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Paul Williams let his alligator mouth write a check his hummingbird ass can't cash.
I can only imagine that he is dropping down in the hope of fighting Pac or PBF in the future. Thing is, neither will fight him as he would destroy them. I would love to see PBF take him on. That would be a pleasure to watch.
Arum will tell him he has to fight Pavlik before he can get a match with Pac. Seriously, don't look for Arum to make life easy for Paul.
That's never going to happen. If PW goes to 160 he will never return to 147. Do you think Roach will let Pac fight PW? Not a hope in hell is that going to happen. PBF will pull the "he isn't a big enough name" excuse as per usual.
Whether or not Martinez is the best 154 pounder in the world is debatable. Dont act like its a fact. He has only beaten 2 good opponents at 154. Cintron (a welter) and bunema He might be the best 154 fighter in the world... But he sure as hell hasnt proved it by cleaning out the top comp. So before he does this, please dont refer to him as the best 154 pound fighter
