I'm happy that he is thinking well though,Clottey is a dirty and dangerous fighter,should be a cracking fight. As foR Williams,he was asked if he wanted to fight in DEC and outpriced himself so negotiations will be back on (saw it in interview with Tony's manager) IF Tony gets by Clottey.
But that's the thing.. Margarito isn't on top of the boxing world... He is hoping/trying to get there. To do that, you have to be willing to make sacrafices.. Im just skeptical as to the statement that Williams "priced himself out"... I mean he beat Mitchell recently, he probably brings just as much to the table as Margarito at this point in terms of exposure.. If he had asked for 50% it would not have been pricing himself out, but Tony's people would probably say so. Would Sam Langford or Jack Johnson have complained that Dempsey or Tunney priced themself out if the possibility ever presented itself No, they probably would have fought for a hot meal. Tony needs to start behaving like a dangerous and feared guy, by seizing any oppourtunity he can get, worry about the big picture and long term gain. You know?? I mean there's a hell of a lot he could have been doing in the past year and a half besides sitting around waiting for a name to magically fight him.. And it's not like he's making any money doing that.
