    Depends. The MONEY is probably at 160..but 154 has a lot of budding up and coming fighters ready to make their case in the division so the best fights are there.

    I don't imagine Pavlik or Abraham giving him fights to entice him to move UP to 160 again.

    Stay at 154 and catch Margarito when he moves up in weight.

    I think his power is too weak for middle weight vs someone like Palik

    Vernon Forrest would be nice....I'd have to imagine Oscar and Dibella have a decent relationship and would be able to make it happen.

    That's kind of a fight Williams needs.

    Forrest, obviosuly.

    He won't fight Dzinziruk because nobody knows of Dzinziruk in the USA.


    I think both Forrest and Dzinziruk beats him.

    I've given up on picking Vernon in a big fight. It's only heartbreak and tragedy when you back Vernon Forrest.

    Dzinziruk won't happen because stylistically he'd make Paul Williams' look both extremely one dimensional and boring. The guy is a pure spoiler.

    He'll get fights at 154 unless the promoters jump in with some bull****.

    There are so many up and coming dudes at 154 looking for a big break that I have to imagine the likes of John Duddy, Ronald Hearns, Alfredo Angulo and James Kirkland would be begging him for an opportunity.

    It's not like 147 where everyone is selling out MSG in their mind.

    Forrest would be a great fight for Williams. Santos and I think that he can force a fight with Dzinziruk being the interim WBO champ...There are some good fights at 154, maybe some better ones then at 147 seeing that Arum says he would never deal with Paul that would leave out fights with Margo, Cotto, and Clottey other then those three nothing is really left..

    I would like to see him fight'm all at 154, I think there are some interesting fights.

    Let's see if he can handle the other premiere southpaw in the area, Sergei, who certainly ain't as limited as El Indio.

    A fight with Dzinziruk will kill whatever little public appeal PW has right now. He's THAT technical aka boring.

    Santos isn't a bad option either. Battle of the "We beat Margo"-ites.

    Forrest would be a good fight, but going from what I saw from Dzinziruk in the fight with Julio I dont think that he can beat Paul. I will admitt that its the only fight that I have seen so I cant really make a confident call in that fight. Being that both are southpaws it could be an ugly fight.
