    Looks like Paul is getting fed up with Margarito ducking him, so he is going and calling out Margarito.

    I think Arum really wants to get Oscar in the ring first to cash out that fight before he puts him in there with Williams. Arum knows that Williams is a risky fight for Margo and I'm sure that he rather cash out on DLH before taking the risk against Williams.

    Arum isn't even trying to get a Margo/Hoya fight. Remember, he's also Pac's promter. Currently, Top Rank and Golden Boy are negotiating a fight between Pac and Hoya.

    WBO Welterweight titlist Paul "The Punisher" Williams, 34-1 (25)KO, is looking for someone, anyone, that is willing to fight him. Williams' obvious preference is a rematch with WBA titlist Antonio Margarito whom he beat last summer by unanimous decision. But so far, tall Paul, who stands 6'1" with an 82' reach.

    An 82 foot reach!?!?! I'll pick Williams by UD over Margo again.

    I agree with Williams. Margarito is not going to be able to push Williams around like he did Cotto. Margarito will be the one with the size disadvantage in this fight not Williams. I think the Cotto fight has clouded some peoples thoughts about Margarito he beat a guy that was a lot smaller than him. Williams did not have a tough time with Margarito the first time.

    Arum doesn't want to risk losing the belt and I'm sure he's slowly pushing for a unification fight with Clottey some time in December, since he controls both fighters !

    Why are boxers always full of **** when it comes to their "toughest fight"? It's always a guy they knocked out, instead of the guy who beat their ass.

    To say Margarito is "ducking" Williams seems kind of silly. Margarito is the only top Welterweight who even gave Paul the time of day to begin with. Antonio wasn't paid much to fight Cotto, so you can see why he wants Oscar for a big payday at this point. Chances are, these two will meet again because no one is really lining up to fight either of these guys.

    Quintana1 was definitely one of his toughest fights. But he didn't get knocked around so much in that fight. He took a lot of slick potshots, etc. He didn't really do much in that fight. He didn't move, he didn't really work, he just pretty much stood flat-footed and executed poorly, and he deserved to lose. But it wasn't his toughest fight.

    And for the record, he can beat Margarito again, regardless of the supposed "fast start" Margarito is claiming he will do this time. Paul may be skinny, but he is stronger than people realize. He is strong enough, with long enough arms to push Margarito off of him, or to clench when necessary. He is also conditioned enough to keep the **** up for 12 rounds.

    But you can believe what you want about what will happen. Just don't get it twisted about what is happening at the moment. (Ducking)

    I agree williams is lying about his toughest fight here. It is apparant that it was Carlos mainly bc he overlooked quintana and made it difficult for himself and then Margo would be his second.

    Maybe Quintana overlooked Williams in the rematch
