Shane Mosley, Will He Take The Paul Williams Challenge?

[fan johnny]

Paul William deserves diddly-squat! He's been fighting welters when he is clearly a middleweight class fighter. He just wants a peace of the $$$ at welter. He should be fighting guys like Santos, Spinks and Pavlik. He steps into the ring against welters with 15 pounds or more than the official weigh-in. Let him move on at fight guys like Taylor or Froch and a real test for him would be to step up and face an old man like Hopkins. He's P4P the most fearful fighter that has to fight smaller opponents.

I honestly wonder how many more times Williams will fight at 147 - I'm guessing that's a low number.

Its a low number because nobody wants to fight him. One week before the Winky Wright fight PWill weight less than 160 and had to eat more just to fill the size. He is being boycotted by a whole weight class.

People have to do their homework. PWill still makes 147 as comfortably as Cotto does. PWill comes into fight night less than Cotto or Clottey. Even when he fights at 160. He demolished Winky Wright. Something no fighter has done. If he can make 147 than he is a welterweight...PLAIN and SIMPLE. Stop making excuses for the welterweights boycotting him to the next 3 weight classes. Its a shame because PWill doesn't even cut weight when he fights at 160. He is forced to fight guys heavier than him just to get a named fighter in the ring. Winky Wright walks around at 185 and PWill walks around at 160s. He gorges himself just to stay at middleweight when he fights there. Ridiculous. No welterweight can claim to be the best when they all have ignored the PWill challenge. Its a shame when Mosley says he only wants to fight the best and is willing to take short money but then ignores PWill's pleas to make a fight when PWill says he will even take the lesser purse and Mosley doesn't have to fight at a catchweight. Mosley knows what he is doing. That is modern day "pretend to be macho" cherrypicking. Mosley is my favorite fighter of all time too. I am ashamed to have to admit this truth. But as a fan I have to keep it real. I don't deny the truth just because I don't want to accept it.

What's truly Fukd up is that you total believe that!

PWill would defeat Mosley comfortably. The height, reach, and the southpaw style is too much for Shane. Remember, Winky a sizable lefty gave Shane many kinds of trouble. And imo, the punisher has more skills than Winky.

I think Williams has improved and has all the momentum but is largely all volume to head and body,rarely fights his height and defense a bit leaky.Pretty significant time gap in Mosleys matches.He owned advanced Winky that night but at his very best Winkys skillset stands above I believe.

I think he should stay at 154 and above.Could clean up at jr.middle,Martinez would be interesting.
