Am i the only one who thinks Winky is finished?

Paul Williams needs to fight who ever he can get.

Well lets be honest, most the guys at 147 are big PPV fighters who are getting 8 figure paydays every fight. Williams is a nightmare for anyone at 147 and is not a big name, who will fight Williams??

Mayweather,Pac and Mosley ( well if Mosley beats Mayweather ) cant see them going near Williams to high risk not enough reward. Only fight I can see now is the rematch with Margarito other than that I cant see the top boys giving him the time of day.

I think Williams display at 160 against not a big puncher and a 154 fighter showed he don't belong at Middleweight, I hope to see the big fights but I cant see it personally.

Yeah I think Wright has seen his best days. He relies on his defensive skills and they are eroding fast. Like Pernell Whitaker before him, the time has come when he will get hit and often. His days on the major stage is over, unless he wants to turn into a stepping stone for other fighters wanting to add a name on their ledger.

I just don't think coming down to 147 is a good move from a longevity standpoint. I guess if he's gonna try, better now while he's still young. But, it just seems to really age fighters... I agree that 154 is the place for PW.

But whatever, I'm just kinda getting tired of the whole "nobody will give me a fight" whinefest. It seems like so much Bull Shit, when he really hasn't acquired superstar status.

If he'd just stay put and hold a title, he'd get mandatory challengers. Then it's up to him to look spectacular against them. If he did that, then he'd start to generate real interest and pull. He could sit there at 154 and might even get to play king of the hill just like PBF has done at WW. Basically entice WWs to come up to challenge him. Or on the flip side be like Pac, and entice MWs to drain themselves coming down.

For some reason he has it in his mind that he's different than anybody else, and can move up and down with no consequences, and that he should get some kind of award for that. Who knows, maybe he's right...?
