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.
I agree. I think this is why Williams lost the first fight to Quintana. He took too much time off after his fight with Margarito looking for the big money.
That said, I think his team has realized that in order to force the big money guys into the ring with him, they are going to have to keep him active and on TV. Hence the Kolle fight on Versus and the fact that he will be back Nov. 29 on HBO (opponent to be determined). As long as he stays active and keeps winning, the money guys will have to fight him eventually. If he beats his Nov 29 opponent (probably will be either WBO mandatory Michael Jennings or Verno Phillips for his 154 pound title), I have a feeling we'll see Williams-Mosley early next year. It is the only money fight available to either at 147 or 154 with Cotto and Margarito head towards a June rematch.
