Excellent post. The truth is that most fighters don't care who they fight nearly as much as how much money they'll make. For the majority of them it is all about getting the bills paid, just like us.i gotta say man, people on here love to say people are ducking people. if you choose to fight one guy, all the ohter guys fans are saying you are ducking him by fighting the other guy. I mean, ****, cintron is getting tons of crap for not fighting williams. His hand got busted, and instead of postponing their matchup by a little, williams goes ahead with a different opponent, so cintron calls out the guy who gave him his only defeat, margarito (a guy everyone had previously said that cintron needs to avenge his loss against) and now cintron is ducking williams!!!! cintron also says that he wants to fight cotto after that (im thinking for a super fight on the PR day parade at MSG), so i guess cintron is ducking pwil there, as well, oh but wait, like any great soap opera there is more to this story... Pwil has also said he wants cotto next, so i guess he is ducking cintron!!!!
two guys, ducking each other!!! whoa, what drama. how about this... guys dont pick who they fight, managers and trainers do. most guys will fight whoever is put in front of them. all the welterweights want a fast track to floyd, and right now that is through cotto, so of course everyone wants to fight cotto! you are all like a bunch of females wiht your "this guys ducking this guy, but wait, now he's ducking this guy". like a bunch of ****ing females.Comment

Arum: Let me tell you where the situation is. If Cotto wins and Antonio wins, then the fight is on between Cotto and Antonio. If Williams were to beat Antonio, And if Cotto beat Judah , then we would look with favor on a Cotto/Williams fight.

The only deal ever in place was for Cotto to face Margarito if he won, that's it.Arum: Let me tell you where the situation is.

Paul Williams does have an incredible work rate. My only criticism of him is that I wish he would put sit down on some of his punches.
He throws a lot of slapping punches with little behind them but he does throw 100 slapping punches a round.
You'd think a guy this tall would have some wicked power, but I think his form betrays him.
He's a good boxer overall, and they aren't exactly lining up to fight him and he's not really a name yet, so he may well end up fighting Margarito again.

Errmm Margarito won like 2 rounds of their fight. How's that close?Margarito wasn't cornered into fighting Williams. The fact is that AM went against his own promoter and passed on a bigger paying fight with Cotto just to fight PW. Williams is an impressive looking welterweight, but if we're being honest he has only one win over a live body in his entire career. Quintana being his second best opponent ever would verify that. I think since his close win over Margarito he has gone from underrated to overrated.Comment

I seriously could'nt see Margarito winning any more than 3 rounds, maybe 4 if you gave most close rounds to him.
That fight was'nt even close.Comment
