Hes in hiding. Ive been posting thread after thread about it. Ever since martinez whooped his clock he wants no part of a rematch with sergio---blew off pavlik for the belts---and now wont sign a deal with cintron. Quit telling me that its gonna happen--he was supposed to sign a cintron deal months ago. Whats he waiting for??? hes in hiding--thats what. His own momma still cant find him.
Cintron probably wants paid. Goosen feels Paul should be getting a couple of mill every time out and there isn't that much available total for the whole event. Dan thinks Kermit should take the fight for the 'honor' of being in the same ring with Pdub. That's my best guess anyhow.
Didn't he try and get a rematch with Sergio? Apparantly the Cintron fight is close to being sorted, at 154. IMO he should have fought Cintron a couple of years ago. If he beats him he should stay around the 154/160 area and try to dominate the division and really get his name up there.. instead of moving about weights and being all talk.
I consider him overrated because according to boxing journalists, if Pac and Floyd were to retire tomorrow, Paul Williams would be ranked P4P #1 and he's not the best fighter in the sport by any measure. It's about the people ranking him that high, not a knock on Paul. It's not his fault he delivers an exciting fight and gets too much credit for weight jumping and good marketing.
I really hope a Cotto-Williams matchup doesn't happen. I mean I love Cotto as a fighter and I'm sure Bob Arum wants that payday but it would be totally irresponsible to put those two in the ring in Cotto's current mental state...:-(
With that said, I'll reserve judgement until I see how he looks against Foreman. If he doesn't absolutely dominate, he needs to retire!!!!!!!
why is this thread 4 pages long? paul is probably with his children waiting to beat kermit cintrons ass.... wtf is wrong with you people
