Berto v. Paul Williams in January- I knew it right away

Williams himself said he only wants to fight like 2 more times...including a rematch with Martinez LOL I guess Paul wants to enter a old folks home

I thought Randall Bailey was his mandatory? whoTF is randall bailey. HBO and Al Gaymon always have a way to make money overrule mandatories. There is no money to be made in that fight- HBO wouldnt even televise it I dont think...The only reason they put Zaveck on the air was because he was a champion and they saw him as a confidence builder for Berto coming off a loss.

Yeah I guess if he figures he's gonna cash out on Paul Williams now... Williams himself said he only wants to fight like 2 more times...including a rematch with Martinez LOL

Al Haymon fighters fighting each other? I hope so because its holding boxing hostage..

Did you see Williams v. Lara? Williams is done. Gaymon would definitely put Berto in there with him at this point- youre right- he does get hit too much- thats the point. Yeah I guess if he figures he's gonna cash out on Paul Williams now...

I saw other posts about people saying Berto is not getting any better at this point- he should cash out. This would be his way of cashing out. Get a win over Williams...Look like a real champion- Let Victor Ortiz challenge him for the IBF title after he loses the WBC belt to Mayweather. Berto could even defend his belt in a unification against Pacquaio. The possibilities are endless. He needs the win over Williams though to be taken seriously so HBO can pump up the next fight as worth while.

I highly doubt Al Haymon makes that move...Berto needs another good win or two before he messes with a top fighter, and Williams just gets hit wayy too much. Did you see Williams v. Lara?

another good matchmaker on NSB! seriously, i LOVE this fight. it's a true 50/50 fight IMO; if Berto wins he's basically right back where he was before the Ortiz loss, and if Williams wins, he's back in contention too. absolutely love this fight. . . But where do you think the fight will take place at? I don't see Berto willing to go to 154, and I honestly don't think Williams can make 147 without giving up too much at this point in his career. Catchweight at 150ish? Berto has more pull right now, so he can probably get it to maybe 149. See, this is why CW are good - they allow the best fights to be made. HBO - if you are reading - PLEASE make this fight happen. it has FOTY written all over it. EARLY PREDICTION: Berto by KO/TKO or Williams UD. I can see the fight happening at 152...I know Berto used to fight at 154 in the amateurs...actually won the national golden gloves at 154. It surprises me he fights so low as a professional- he weighed like 160 last night at the time of the fight. There would be no problem fighting at 152 for either fighter.

i think berto is fighting bailey next.
