When will Paul Williams get his chance to shine!

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.

I agree with you on the aspect of these guys should be fighting more often...And yes not the mis-matches but there are plenty of guys ranked in the top 20 even that could put on decent bouts with them....

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.

I hope Arum and Goosen can sort out their differences and make this fight happen... Williams and Clottey are among my favorites and I don't care much on who wins this fight...

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

Naahh... Judah too small for Clottey... Hopefully we can have these fights at welter:

Clottey - Williams

Margo - Cotto rematch

Berto - Mosley (maybe )

Cintron - Quintana

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.

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.
