Anyone else think Williams fighting Wright is a bad idea?

[C-Lo]

I think that a loss to Winky makes it so no big name fighters will ever fight him and will be the end of his career.

Haha! Oh c'mon! No big name fighters will ever fight him? He will hardly know the difference. Way too grave. Williams is a big draw win/lose/draw against Winky. This fight is way more important to Winky imo. He only has a couple fights left in him. And Williams, the spring chicken he is, will box him and win rounds on handily activity. He may not be able to get a lot through, but surely enough activity to see a UD.

People act so serious about a fighter losing ONE fight. I mean it has held back fighters in the past, but usually it's when they get exposed (a la Mosley Marg).

Yah a little Melo-dramatic dude.... Williams is living up to the moniker of being a badass that takes them all on between 147-160. a 2nd loss to a hall of famer is no way a career breaker... Besides paul isint going to lose

Williams with his "most feared" (which actually may or may not be true) is taking a chance with whoever he fights. Sadly He'd beat winky, no question.

Why the hell should any welterweight fighter face this guy when he should be fighting at middleweight? Williams should be looking to fight guys like Taylor, Pavlik or Hopkins.

[Rantcatrat]

Look at the "old-timers" winning big fights recently: Mosley over Margarito and Hopkins over Pavlik. Margarito will still be able to land big fights as will Pavlik. In Pavlik's case, he may actually be better off in his career because of the loss. Boxing fans may think less of them because of the loss, but it didn't affect their marketability. Margarito, barring suspension, will still be in line to fight Cotto in June. Abraham still wants Pavlik. Kessler has spoken of wanting to fight Pavlik.

And if Williams loses to Winky, like I said, more people will line up to fight him because he will appear beatable.

I agree with someone else who said this fight was bigger for Winky. For Winky, it is a crossroads fight. A weak showing will take him out of the picture, a strong showing will make him a contender.

I thinks its a great fight. One for the purist

[RozzySean]

The reason this is a great matchup because it sets up winner up for a big Pavlik fight. If Winky wins, he's back on the radar. If Williams wins, he's established himself at MW.

Call me crazy, but Williams has the footwork, handspeed and volume to beat Pavlik and stunt that 1-2

[El Kabong]

Well if Williams is able to keep his punch output up then he's got a shot....I don't fancy Winky's chances in this one to be totally honest
