i swear people need to research the situation before talking out of their ass.
The reason why Clottey vs Williams never happened because HBO denied the fight(williams is under contract with HBO) and couldn't afford funding it.
WTF are you talking about, according to this Boxing Scene, Clottey turned down 650k to fight Williams: http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=23135
how is 650k not enough for Clottey? lol You call the guy out and called him a "Weak Welterweight" then when he answer your challenge you want to be picky about Money? lol Arum and Clottey didn't want that fight
the bigger problem is actually Goossen and Arum, they don't get along at all and after the Pavlik fights fell apart TWICE...I seriously doubt they will be working together anytime soon which sucks for Boxing because we may never see Williams vs Cotto, Margarito, Pavlik or Pacquiao because of their BAD relationship
Yeah clottey called him out but when they tried to make the fight clutter didn't want to fight(either that or team didn't want it).

cotto has been in a position to fight whoever the hell he wants for quite awhile now. He has had many opportunities to fight PW. Most cotto fans will say that pw is a nobody, has 10 fans(burner counting as 9 + pw's mom), no money in a pw fight, etc....
All I have to say is who the fuk is jennings and foreman and in his next fiasco, chavez jr.?
Cotto is a warrior according to most posers on here. But what warrior chooses the weakest comp in their division when the toughest are free to fight and cheap?
wake up novices! all these so called elites are nothing more than carefully crafted careers that capitalize on fans' willingful ignorance.
im sorry but fighting Pacquaio, clottey, margarito, and shane is not what i called carefully crafted careers especially all those fights were close except for the Pacquaio fight. Really the only time cotto fought the weakest comp in the division is after a lost.
yeah, i dont know what up with doggy g with this thread.
cotto doesn't call out anybody. and no one in history will be able to say that cotto ducked, dodged, or *****ed out against anybody, because anybody that has been put in front him, he has fought valiantly.
he's definetly going into the hall of fame, haters.
and paul williams just DOESN"T BRING ANY MONEY TO THE TABLE PPL.
Martinez is the only guy in boxing who WANTS to fight P. Will.
That's a fact, and if you disrespect P. Will you shouldn't even consider yourself a boxing fan. Guy has earned everything he got. His 1 loss he avenged, and in his toughest fight vs Martinez he took the rematch.
The guy consistently tries to fight top guys. I don't understand how anyone hates on him.
I wish P.Will would be the exact same when he gets to the top, But signs are he wouldnt, He would also pick and chose the fight that brings him the most money and minimum risk.
He's right though, you're dumb AND a hypocrite. Cheering for Toney and Mosley but yet turn around and have the nerve to call someone a cheater.
I have to ask: Are you guys old gossiping women passiing as guys here?
SIR, IT'S NOT PERSONAL and I'm not playing those dumb ass games.
You don't know me, so please stop trying to sound like you are following my postings.
If you don't like my view on things, then suck it up like men and learn how to agree to disagree.
To address your point after ignoring your unfounded aggresion.
NO, I was cheering for Boxing vs MMA, not for Toney who just went there to ashame the boxing community.
on your other point, I did NOT "cheer" for Mosley, I respect him because He signed Mayweather's demands for testing and showed his clean today.
Beside that point, Mosley Balco deal was years ago and it didn't work for him, He lost that fight, didn't try to fool the public and I believe He's clean today.
Hope that addresses your BOXING points; the rest of the BS you can leave for people you actually know.
I used to defend Paul Williams until this shit with trying to weasle out of the fight with Martinez and then asking for a catch weight. That still doesn't change the fact that if Williams knocked Martinez out of the ring for a twenty count Cotto would still duck him and fight some other bum ass for a vacant belt.
There is nothing to suggest he tried to weasel out of the fight. None.
why would any one be scared to fight pwill hes not anything special and got a beating in his last 2 fights....he just wants to get paid like if hes a big draw which is why no one ever agrees to fight him....then he can say hes feared

Hands down, you're one of the dumbest posters on here.
and you are a genious. Thank you for all your smart posts, specially when they really don't address the issues discussed.
Thank you boxing guru, what would we do without your charisma and charm.
