Who's Next For Paul Williams?

[shza]

Since the big names seem to be busy, I think K 9, Martirosyan, Angulo, Rodriguez and a Lara rematch wouldn't be bad fights.

I'm not sure any of those you mention would be worth the risk to Williams' team. A loss right now would set him back immeasurably, perhaps making it impossible for him to land another big fight. Losing to Martinez is one thing. Losing, but winning on the cards, against Lara was the last straw unless he can earn a big win over a big name. Paul is 100% fighting for money these days. He wouldn't be a bad opponent for Canelo. I like Canelo in the fight but it's a step up in competition, and I wouldn't completely count Tall out in it either if he were able to overwhelm Canelo early. If it is not Canelo or someone like that, they'll take a stay busy fight.

I agree with this. But if Cotto aquits himself reasonably well against Floyd, then I wouldn't be surprised if we see Canelo matched with him next (bigger fight than P-Will). If Cotto performs poorly, maybe we'd see Cotto/P-Will.

(I also think there's a 50% chance of Canelo being Mayweather's next opponent.)
