By Keith Idec - Ricardo Williams doesnt think its too late to become the fighter he was supposed to be. Ten years have passed since promoter Lou DiBella believed enough in his talent to give Williams a $1.4 million signing bonus. He still hasnt beaten a top 10 contender, much less won a world title. And the former Olympic This content is protected silver medalist has since spent more months in prison than he has in The Ring magazines rankings. But Williams is still just 29, young enough, he believes, to make it all right. My biggest problem has been matching my conditioning with my talent, Williams said. If I can get my conditioning to match my talent, the skys the limit. Williams lack of conditioning was the primary reason DiBella released him from his contract nearly eight years ago. The fact that the Cincinnati native is still saying such things about getting in proper shape surely will make doubters dismiss Williams ability to become a real player at welterweight This content is protected in 2011, but all Williams wanted was a chance. :-( SAD!
Roger Mayweather on an number of occasions has talked about there being only one ameteur that he's seen that had more talent then Floyd but he says that guy screwed it up pretty bad and never made anything of his talent....he won't meantion the guy's name in interviews out of respect but its pretty clear he's talking about Williams....**** waste...hope he can turn it around but I'm not holding my breath.
