What does Williams have to do to get a fight?

[ElTerribleMorales]

I seriously doubt Pavlik is afraid to fight williams. I think pavlik is gun shy after hopkins and wants to make sure he is 100% before the fight. Williams has not fought a true middleweight with power. Williams tends to get hit flush alot and Pavlik has the power to ring his bell.....

if Quintana rocked him a bit, then Pavlik has more than enough power to worry Williams, IMO Williams will win it though

Staph infection forces Kelly Pavlik to postpone title defense vs. Paul Williams - ESPN

postponed and cancelled are two very different things

right.. that is the article that i read.. i believe there is already a date set for the postponed matchup.

yea it's like November 10th or something like that

I've heard Williams will fight somebody else in October.

I think that it was idiotic to sign for this fight when the same injury that was plaguing Pavlik for the Mora fight has KO'ed Pavlik again. There has to be more to that. I was surprised Arum let Pavlik sign for this. He seems to have little intention of risking Pavlik and wants to milk him for all he can.

To answer the thread Paul needs to stop being a dangerous southpaw although he could get fights vs Mosley and Miguel Cotto as those dudes at this point in time would fight anybody...I'm fairly certain Miguel Cotto would fight a Grizzley Bear.


I heard Bernard Hopkins said he would fight Williams...don't know at what weight though.

Nah, I figure the bear would duck Cotto.

Hopkins would fight Williams in a phone booth at any weight

What does Williams have to do to get a fight? He should try shrinking about 6 inches, fighting orthodox, not working on his cardio, softening his jaw, hell maybe bleaching his skin would help.

Dude is like the worst fight possible for anyone MW or under.

pAUL wILLIAMS IS HIS OWN BIGGEST ENEMY....hE IS ALWAYS TALKING HOW HE IS THE MOST FEARED FIGHTER IN BOXING...HIS PEOPLE CRYING abt how no one wants to fight him....

Williams insist on certain fights only....Well if the person you are seeking is not available look for someone else.....Not ecery fight is a title fight or big name fight.,.....So sit around and insist that you only fight the elite for top payadays and as they fall through for one reason or another....as you navoid paydays against top 10 contenders your years dwindle by you your bank account gets smaller and when you do start getting fights your not the fighter you once were......You end up embaressed....EG- The Quintana fight!!!!!!!!!

Williams has a title at 154...defend it........stop crying abt guys like Pavlik etc and fights falling through and go to work........

He is his own biggest enemy......

Better to make 10 million in 5 fights against second tier comp then 3 million against 1 top level fighter........Especially because the first big fight Williams loses he will have one hell of a time getting another....If ever.....

The Quintana fight many dismiss as an unprepared Paul Williams.....The next loss will make people think Williams is not all he is made out to be

Daxx - What do you mean by this? I dont think Hopkins would fight anyone in a phone booth because as soon as he runs into trouble he will need room to flop around and fake low blows........Just calling you out to here your opinion....

[HattonTheHammer]

Nobody wants to fight him because there is nothing to gain by fighting him

The guy is recognised within most pro boxing circuits as one of the if not THE premiere boxing talent right now in the sport. But he doesnt bring that pantomime jones esque circus with him and very similar to calzaghe PW is gonna simply have to earn his stripes the hard way by just about beating everyone around him.

PW beats mosley, pacquiao, cotto at 147, de la hoya, kirkland, angulo at 154 and pavlik, abraham and winky at 160 ive no doubts about it!!

I hope you are not trying to discredit Hopkins here?.....One of the best fighters in this sport ever!


Williams claimed he can't get a fight Hopkins has stated in public interviews he will fight him......Hopkins will not duck anyone and if he says he wioll fight you he means it.....

Hopkins isn't really a phone booth type of fighter. As for any weight, I don't see Hopkins dropping below 168 as I'm not sure it would be physically possible for him to do so. However, Bernard isn't afraid of any challenge. The fact that at his age he keeps taking the hardest challenges out there has nothing but my utmost respect.
