williams seems to be the odd man out at 147 right now, the division is packed with name fighters who would rather fight each other than risk a fight against an unknown commodity, .... at his height i think he wll transition naturally to 154 at some point anyhow.... so why not now??
really spinks left 147 for the same reasons, he couldnt land, but more importantly, couldnt beat, the big names there.... spinks didnt have power at 147 and has none whatsoever at 154 obviously but he saw a chance and took it..... he saw a 154 pound champ (karmazin) who he knew he could outbox and steal a title from.... which he did...
williams would beat spinks handily IMO in a fight at 154, williams could probably get himself ranked to qualify for an optional defense... should he consider a move like this seeing that mayweather, margarito, cotto dont appear to have any intention of fighting him at 147????
