Paul Williams is a gifted guy who isn't a great boxer, I don't know what the hype is with him. He really isn't that great considering what he has to work with. Hearns made way better use of similar weapons.

I copied this from other forum. I'm gonna paste it here...

Paul Williams Blasts Floyd Mayweather: He Won't Fight Me - Boxing News BY MICHAEL MARLEY

"I don't think Floyd Mayweather will fight me anytime," Williams said. "Manny Pacquiao, he MIGHT Do it, he Might Step Up, But NOT Floyd.

"I guess Floyd Won't fight me because I Don't have a va**na."

"I was in the barbershop in (Washington) D.C., the other day and the guys were talking about it. They respect Floyd's skills like I do but they were saying they know he won't ever fight me," Williams said.

"If Floyd went to Al and said, "Hey, I want to fight Paul Williams, what can Al do? But Floyd is not going to ever say that. Pacquiao, He Fights BIGGER Guys, He's Different Than Mayweather so maybe I Will Get To Fight Him."

Like many others, Williams thinks Mayweather's OBSESSION is Being UnDefeated.

"Floyd ranks himself with Ray Robinson, with Joe Louis, all these guys..but all those great guys, they all lost sometime. Mayweather WON'T Take a Hard Fight, He WON'T Take the Chance Of LOSING."

Peterson's assessment is similar.

"Pacquiao, He LOVES To Fight. Mayweather is his own manager, he's a smart businessman. Paul is not old enough for Floyd to fight. Floyd Likes To WAIT Until a Guy is OLD. Pacquiao is More GUTSY than Floyd is," Peterson said.

Williams notes that the structure of boxing is that the best often don't fight the best.

"I can make 147 (pounds) for Floyd or for Manny if I have to and I would," Williams said. "But this isn't like baseball or football where the best teams are mandated to play each other. In boxing, these guys don't want to give me the shot."
