So Paul Williams says his next fight will be at 147lbs...

im probably gonna get slated but i ****ing hate paul williams and think he is overrated 2 ****

 

Simple question is why you hate Williams? Cause he's not from the uk?

 

no my favourite fighters are american! love mayweather, alexander, i even quite like dirrel

 

He should fight Shane.

 

Don't misunderstand me folks. I really don't care how you guys feel about my opinion. The point is when a guy that's 6'3 rehydrates, he is more than likely heavier than his opponent if he's(the opponent) almost a foot shorter. If he can make weight then fine, but why not stay at a higher weight if that's where you are. Is there someone he's running from. Who wants to see another Dick Tiger vs Bob Foster. That looks like some kind of circus joke. That's right Paul, fight the guys that can barely reach you. Gatti vs Gamache is a good example of rehydration turning dangerous. Maybe he realized he was in over his head after the Martinez fight. Run to another division. Do your thang boy. Give him props all you want, but none from me at 147.

 

This is just a flat out horrible argument, point blank. Did he not start at WW?

 

Yep, only because he couldn't make 140 and fight even shorter fighters.

 

The most important thing is for Williams to keep fighting quality fighters regardless of what weight class its in. Thats what makes him one of the top fighters in the world, so if he can find a quality opponent at 147 then he should probably go for it.

Having said that, I would prefer him to fight at 154 or 60. Welterweight is losing some of its luster with guys like Cotto, Margarito, and Clottey moving up. I know Mayweather and Pacquaio fight there but I think he has almost no chance of facing either one of those guys. That probably leaves Berto and Collazo as his best opponents for now. Good fights but he might have trouble getting either one of those guys in the ring, Williams is a monster at 147 and is going to have trouble even landing fights with someone like Berto. Basically, I don't want to see Williams go to 147 and the only fights he can get are second tier type of guys because he has limited options and even those limited options won't fight him because he's hoping to land a fight with Mayweather or Pacquaio.

If he goes to 154 or 160 then he is open to a ton of options. The possibilites are numerous: Martinez, Cotto, Margaritio, Angulo,Cintron, Dzindurik, Mosley, Sturm, Clottey,Spinks, and Kirkland in a year. All those are good to great matches. But in the end I just want to see Williams fight the best out there because he's one of the few fighters in the whole sport who I know will do that.

 

You can't make me give him props son! He acts like he's afraid of the bigger guys.

 

So you saying Williams should fight Haye since both are at the same height?????? The more you talk about "height" the dumber you get.

 

Are you cheating on Devon. He might not like you riding Paul" The Praying Mantis" Williams like that. You don't get it. Maybe he should fight Calderon next. Let me guess, if he can make weight.

 

Williams is a ******, he started his career at junior middle, but then he goes down to welter to fight? ****en ****** picking on the smaller fighters stay at junior middle or middle.

 

To answer your question, No he shouldn't fight Haye, but he should stay at jr. middle or middle. An 81 inch reach and he wants to fight at welter. It just looks like he's dodging the bigger fighters.

 

In what weight did Williams lost in his first fight? Was it at ww?

 

if paul can make 147 easily wuts the big deal let him fight. hes human he isnt invincible he can be beat at 147.
