Mick I couldn't agree more. Both Margarito and Williams both should have been taking easy mandatories, etc. instead of claiming 'no one will fight me.' Imagine if Williams, after winning against Margarito, had the next month blasted this Andy kid out from Minnesota??
I am not saying fighters should just want these mis-matches, but taking easy fights and fighting regularly is much better than inactivity and ring-rust.

Problem is everyone thinks they should only get the big pay-day fights and nothing else...
Now Clottey has called out Williams we'll see how interested Williams is . If he accepts ,which I doubt , I'll be very very surprised
I'll doubt he will accept it and why should he ? Joshua Clottey IMO is still a high risk/low reward fight, but props to Williams if he does accept it. But i'll doubt he will move back down to Welterweight to fight someone who hasn't really got a big name.Quote:

Personally I'd like a rematch with Judah for Clottey,give him the KO he was on his way too putting on Zab ;D.I am thinking Williams will not return to Welter.Quote:

If i was Paul id take dat Clottey fight and start out from der
Paul williams in my opinion is seriously overhyped.
I was impressed with his victory over Margarito but since then he hasn't been that impressive although his 1st KO victory over Quintana was good. He went up in weight and ko's a middleweight bum. Now people start comparing him to tommy hearns :rolleyes:. If i was williams i would stop jumping around divisions and stay at welterweight, fight the top guys then move up from there.
nobody should compare him to hearns the only thing they got in common is height. But i dont think paul is overhyped i just think he needs to get offerd some decent fights like a clottey or cotto or even mosley, and im pretty sure he would stay at welter if he was able to land some fights but its hard to do that when nobody wants to fight you.Quote:

The WW division is strong and Williams should concentrate on that, Margarito , Cotto, Clottey, etc
Light Middle is not the strongest and at 160 I could not see him beating Pavlik or Abraham, but at 147 he is capable of beating anyone
It won't happen because Arum refuses to do business with Al Haymon, Williams' manager. It's the same reason Williams-Margarito II isn't happening anytime soon. Dan Rafael had a blog about this not too long ago.Quote:
