Why Doesn't Williams Fight Santos?

Santo's AND Williams vs Angulo for '09. Make it happen. Angulo is the future.

This may be the best available fight for both guys for the next year or so, & I'd pay to see it. Margarito's playcard looks to be full for the next year or so - it looks like he'll be fighting Mosley after Clottey (assuming he wins), & will probably have to deal with the mandatory that was already scheduled for Cotto. For Williams, the only names likely are Collazo or a rubber match with Quintana. For Santos, Verno Phillips may be the best other option - unify some belts, get his name to the top of Junior-Middle ranks, & is a makeable fight. Dzinziruk, who beat Santos for his previous title, looks tied up for the next year, so Williams would be ideal to bring his name up. Personally think Santos-Williams would be a very good fight, & could be promoted very well from the Margarito angle. Winner would be all but guaranteed a shot at Margarito if he gets past Mosley & Clottey, & would move into the big money category of fights.

Isn't Williams set to fight his next fight at 154? Why not Santos? I think he's facing his mandatory. Save for a major embarassment, he should pull through. And then what?

Who is we? If you're talking 147lbs. then go talk it. Wasn't Williams recently negotiating to fight at 160? Hasn't he fought at 160 before? Isn't Williams set to fight his next fight at 154? Why not Santos?

Santos style is boring and he's not known to the casual boxing fan.I thought Margo won their last fight in P.R. and that because Marg. wasnt as good as he is now.There's no big money involved fighting Santos,just the belt in one of the weakest divisions in boxing. I don't find Santos' style boring at all, not his latest one against Alcine. He's well-schooled and carried KO power. And his chin is inconsistent. What's not to like? There's no big money in fighting Santos...just like there's no big money fighting Williams. They may have no choice.

Who the fk cares about the Rican Santos. We're talking 147lbs. Margarito needs to stop ducking PWilliams. Who is we? If you're talking 147lbs. then go talk it. Wasn't Williams recently negotiating to fight at 160? Hasn't he fought at 160 before?

Well because Margarito has the momentum at the moment, and a belt. Both want it and since they've beaten him before, why the hell not pursue him? In their eyes it's another win because they've beaten him before and they'll get the attention on them since it's currently on Marg for beating Cotto. I really believe Marg is living a 15 minutes of fame type of thing because his future opponents either have already beaten him or got a real good shot at it. He won't last too long as champion me thinks.

Because he'd be beaten up.

No one has any thoughts on this match? That's one of the best fights that can be made in the sport today and it can be made. Has anyone been watching Santos?? It would be an interesting match, I'm just not so sure how exciting it would be. It would have to happen in Puerto Rico to make any live money. If Williams decides to move up in weight and there is some TV money, it definitley could happen.
