    Looks like he's willing to fight from 147 to 168.

    So who nex'?

    I wanna see him fight Cotto sometime in his next two fights.

    I think PW should clean out 154 first then go to 160 after a year or two.

    paul needs to campaign at middle and super middle. He looked way better at middle than he EVER did at 147. 147, hell 154 aint for him.

    if he wants to have a real crack at 160 belts he should wait a year for sure
    two maybe 3 fights he can take out the top guns at 154 ^^^ like see me flow

    let pavlik and AA go at it

    then go after the main man at 160

    IMO, Steward was right last night when he said that P-Will shouldn not ever fight at 147 again - it might cost him alot of substance, years of his career.

    I also think that he should start fighting the best 154 has to offer over the next 2 fights (Santos, then Martinez/Forrest or Kirkland/Dzinziruk).

    After that, he should give it a try at 160...

    He's the luckiest fighter in the world in a sense. From welter to middle he's got so many options. He's spoilt for choice. But who'll step up to the plate? I can't see any welters going near him. But Pavlik or Abraham would be up for it I reckon.

    AA not anymore - either he gets Pavlik (given he beats Lorenzo in June) at the end of 2009 or it's straight up to 168...

    Would Kirkland - Williams be a massive fight in the America?

    I think Williams is a middleweight from now on. No way he goes back to 47, but possible catch weight under 160 or at 160. Would love to see him fight Pavlik, that would be a great fight, but Willams to me still has a very sloppy defense, and getting in there with some bigger punchers, like Pavlik, he may have some big problems.
