He did earn it, he's beating anyone they get for him whether at welterweight, jr. middle or middle, the guy can't do more than that. What did Margarito do to deserve a big fight with Cotto?, lose to Williams or be with TOP RANK?
Clottey?, what's the point in that fight?, fighting Forrest at 154 is far better, at least he gets something out of it.
Clottey would make no sense at all. He's coming off a loss to Cotto who recently lost to Margo who lost to Williams. If Clottey had beat Cotto, it might make sense, but Clottey offers nothing. No title, not a big pay day, not a great record. He's just a guy who loses to the big names.
Williams has said that he still wants to fight at 147 and Clottey is the only one calling him out. If Williams can get Forrest or Pavlik then of course I'd rather see that.
He's a full load, man, believe that. He obviously isn't unbeatable but he'll be hard to beat from here on out I'm guessing. I'm curious to see how he handles power from legit middleweights.
