Why didn't he try, Sergio Martinez, Vernon Forrest, Daniel Santos, Sergei dzindziruk, Sergio Mora, Luis Collazo, i'm sure one of them would have been interested.
Santos pulled out of his fight in Feb. because he wouldn't be able to to make weight or have enough time to train. And Forrest said he didn't want to fight Williams he wanted Margarito and Pavlik.
Fair enough
oh and guys i'm not bashing Williams just curious....
Ok this thread did not turn out the way i planned, please guys leave the childish trolling out of this.
Anyways el Domincano, replying to your very first post...
I meant before the Winky Wright fight got signed, i'm talking about December'ish, when Williams was talking about being ducked,
no offense but you gave me a list of excuses for Williams not to fight Santos and Vernon Forrest, yes sure Santos isn't active and sure Forrest is old BUT that does not ave anything to do with a Williams fight, Williams was looking for a fight and those 2 are/were available.

Maybe everyone should stop whatever their doing for this guy, if not their ducking him!
At least he didn't quit like a bitch ala Cotto.
Funny how that "plaster" didn't effect Williams.
You're gonna hurt his feelings calling Cotto a quitter. Williams took his beating like a man and won a decision. Cotto fell apart and decided to give Marg a blowjob.
So why didn't Cotto try to go after him to get the WBO title he holds now, instead of fighting a no hoper?
The same reason Willie Pep fought 7 tomato can's in a row after he got severly injured during a plane crash.
back when he was wbo 147 champ he could've fought clottey but clottey was high risk low reward so he avoided that and moved up.

Im not saying anything about the Winly, fight, wich I dont have any problem with. But that Most fear man is bull shit.
And Serge is a bigger draw in Germany than what Williams is in USA!!!!!!!!!!!
I doubt he is feared that much anymore, maybe to certain high level fighters where the risk reward is not really there maybe. Paul Williams is in a pretty nice spot in the boxing world and a victory over him would mean a lot to many fighters, in boxing being feared by one person is an oppurtunity to another man.
I will just agree to disagree on the last part, you might be right but it is not by that much (he is not some German superstar). I think Williams could possibly sell tickets in Augusta, or the south in general if they built him up there (he always fights on the west coast though).
No he isn't but who is Sergei Dzindziruk to make serious demands?
Well Paul is the guy who is saying that he can't get any fights.
beggers can't be choosers now can they.
Clottey also revealed that the current WBO champion, Paul Williams, also refused to fight him because he (Clottey) posed too much of a threat.

Clottey is an Arum fighter, Williams is a Haymon fighter. Arum has refuesed to work with Williams and Haymon since they would not fight Pavlik. Arum always brings this up when Williams is mentioned around him.
Clottey and Williams does not make enough money for these 2 men to patch up their disagreement.
Maybe Martinez or Collazo. I don't know about Forrest...
Paul can't really say people are ducking him anymore. He's picking and choosing his fights pretty much now. There's plenty options he has.
He does have an adequete ammount of options and he exists to HBO (and Showtime if need be) which means he has some money to offer possible opponents.
At certain times fights might not work out, but I think anyone at 154 would want to fight him.
Seriously, wake up. That is false. Clottey called out Paul and Paul wanted the fight, it just never went threw...so stop spreading that bullshit.

He is the best fighter in his division, he is a champ, he is undefeted and he is the bigger draw comparre to Williams.!!!!!!!!!
Dzinziruk is not Cook (who had already been stopped by Luevano) so the possibility of a knock out win is somewhat less, Dzinziruk is really not a big draw in Germany (he is not German and he has a boring style can, Dan Rafael brings it up all the time) they are at roughly the same level, imo.
I am fine with him fighting Winky though, if Winky was younger or more active I would probably favor him.
which one of these guys will hbo pay to see him fight?

Wright will beat the shit out of paul williams
A loss to Wright only means he wont fet shot @ AA/Pavlik. He'd still dominate 154 no matter what happens that night.
Thats Bull SHIt, the Man in my sig, went to England last Saturday and took care of bussines. That excuse is played out!!!!!!!!!!!
cosign, and paul is suppose to be the most feard fighter in the sport. nobody deserves that title because there's always someone out there that will fight you

Dzinziruk wanted U.S. exposure kinda like Chris John. But Williams after the Wright fight will most likely take on a belt holder @154.
