    Why WIlliams? IMO he has not shown he is worthy of a fight with Mayweather. He looked impressive against Winky Wright, but he looked a lot worse against Martinez and Quintana. I think he is easy pickings for Mayweather. IMO Floyd has to go for Mosley or Berto to earn true credibility. Bradley, Malignaggi and Cintron make sense for comeback fights, but he has been back and they aren't peaking my interest. Why not leap frog over Manny in terms of his p4p and welterweight ranking?
    I said or anyone really, meaning anyone but those guys. I don't know how you figure Williams isn't worthy of a fight when Malignaggi, Cintron and Matthew Hatton are being mentioned. If you make a list of 5 guys you want to see Floyd fight, wouldn't you have Williams in there? If not then I don't know what there is to say. He didn't look great against a really good fighter in Martinez but he would at least give Floyd a challenge. Williams is on most everyone's top 10-12 P4P list.

    Also, Berto is going to have to put a bigtime performance in this month to even be half as worthy of a Mayweather fight then Williams. I know he has all these great physical gifts but he hasn't put them together yet and off his last 2 fights he should lose to Mosley.

    I'm a fan of Berto believe it or not but no way am I even mildly interested in Floyd fighting the very unproven Berto. At least we know what Williams is.
    It wouldn't be current Berto, but a Berto that beat the number 1 WW in the world. That alone would make Berto a more accomplished fighter than Paul Williams, and I don't think Paul beat Martinez which IMO means he should be facing Martinez again, or Floyd would be facing Sergio. We also don't know if Paul can even get back down to 147.

    Berto has the same manager as Mayweather (Haymon) and if he beats Mosley it's unlikely he'll want to put them both in together. If Sugar Shane wins he'll take the fight in a flash.

    Who knows with this guy...Truth is Floyd is his own worst enemy, I mean people just are not willing to deal with him when they keep seeing these things going on with him (Regardless of the Pacquiao situation)...Floyd always wants some over the top stipulations.....The demands he makes for paydays makes it not worth these guys time...Why would they want to fight a guy who demands things like 75% of the money etc...Guys are more willing to fight for less money with half the aggravation and less risk....

    For as good as Floyd is he looks upon himself a bit too highly in these situations....Then when there are guys out there calling him out he comes up with reason that are just plain stupid for the fight not too happen....

    Mosley for example...He denied the fight because Mosley is not a big enough PPV draw...Fine agreed Mosley has never been a PPV big hit but fact is he stands on top of the division right now...you can't just wait around for guys to say..."Yes Floyd thank you for allowing me to be in your presence and screwing me out of a fair share of the gates etc"..

    While Floyd is out there being full of himself making demands these guys are out there making their place in the sport etching out a place in history for them....

    I mean before the loss to Margarito Cotto was available more then once and Floyd looked the other way...What reason? Can't be the draw factor because if they fought at MSG Cotto could fill the house playing rock em sock em robots...And he is a decent PPV attraction..

    Williams willing to fight anyone.....

    Margarito at the time was a hot commodity...

    Floyd could have fought at 154 comfortably...

    This guy just wants to make things hard as possible for people....He is his own worst enemy...For all his talent he could have taken home several multi million dollar risk free paydays instead of holding out for one big one that may never come

    Floyd will fight Mosley if he wins. Mosley = the fighter that Manny turned and ran from even when he offered to fight at 140. Manny seems to be turning and running a lot recently, esp if there's any chance of his dirty little secret being outed

    Manny is only happy when he is as strong as an Ox on steroids or PED's and his opponent is weight drained at one of his catchweights

    As opposed to "He is a big draw/P4P rated fighter with a style I know I can beat"

    Floyd should fight Mosley if he wins. Floyd hasn't fought a true welterweight in a very long time.
