    Kirkland needs to get a belt first which may happen this summer as he may be fighting Dzindziruk this summer. Negotiations are happening for it.

    I wonder if any WW will fight him. I think Clottey would if he beat Cotto but doubtful Arum would let it happen.

    If Paul's next fight is not at 160, what's crazy is that will be 5 different weights in 5 fights!

    Pavlik is at the top of my list. It would be a huge fight that's ppv worthy and even huger if it took place in Youngstown.

    I wanna see Williams fight either Dzinziruk or Santos. They're the 2 guys i consider top dogs at 154 and i think 154 is PW's best weight. I also think he might beat them both but its no walk in the park.

    Not his next fight obviously, but How about Williams-Dawson. That seems like it would be an entertaining matchup

    - Williams is not even a true 160pounders so Hopkins needs to back off.
    - Mayweather will never fight Williams.
    - Kirkland-Williams should happen but not right now. Kirkland is still improving and this fight will be way bigger next year.
    - Quintana shouldn't even thought as Williams opponent since he was destroyed last time

    Shane or Cotto/Clottey make sense but It will come down to who's available and willing

    I hope it isn't Mosley.

    He doesn't need that at this stage. He should focus on three names, and three names only:

    1. Floyd
    2. Hatton/Pacquiao

    I just think Mosley is past the point where he can handle that volume.

    Then again, someone who could hurt Williams could beat him, and Mosley might be able to hurt him, but....

    Paul's jab and volume is all wrong for Shane, and this is coming from a huge Mosley fan.

    Maybe in a year or two I could see it. Chad has no trouble to make 168. He's actually a more natural SMW. Chad said he was 178 and that was over a week ago. Said he will go 168 for big fights.
