Why Paul Williams is so silent about challenging Floyd

[MrZeus]

I think williams knows the fight simply isn't gonna happen so whats the point. He knows if he attempts to call out Mayweather, PBF's gonna unleash a stream of savage verbal beatdowns that are only gonna embarrass Williams and highlight question marks over his career that are mostly ignored at the moment.

[MELLY-MEL...]

Paul Williams clearly has the best arsenal and the best chance to dominate Floyd. I mean, he could literally win the fight 120-108. Just jab and pummel the lil bugger for 36 minutes. He certainly has the stamina to do it, just like he did to Margarito. Floyd's game would be totally thrown off by the tall lefty who is tough, smart, and GAME (note how he won the crucial 12th round vs. Margarito with that bad cut over his eye).

Williams is a superstar in waiting. I love the guy. He could be the most dangerous welterwegiht of all time. He has all the attributes.

But he does not speak out about challening Floyd. Is it because he has the same advisor as FLoyd, the guy named Al Haymond?

Is Haymond focusing on getting FLoyd all the big fights at the expense of the possibly superior Williams? I think Williams is being held back. He has greatness. He is unbelievable what he can do in the ring for 12 rounds. Yeah he had a few off fights, like Clay vs. Sonny Banks and Doug Jones, but at his best Williams is AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. With more potential than Mayweather.

Williams should be more expressive and outspoken about getting the fight with Mayweather, he could dominate him with ease IMO.

he does not have the power, and his defense is lacking for having such a good reach! he is good,and may give floyd fits, but to say he is more talented than floyd is a comedy act. he would never dominate floyd. he did not even dominate primative margorito! lmao! your clearly another hater! every post is a dig agaist floyd! stop hating! your **** is getting old, is weak, and your predictibility is elementary!

Why don't people understand this? I mean, jeez. Margarito should have been damaged after that fight and William's workrate.

I don't understand all of this hype around Williams at this point.

It still remains to be seen what williams can and cannot do........

however williams does have weaknesses.................................

and again to me mayweather has gone up in weight more than he should have ..........

and williams would be a very dangerous fight.............but bring williams up 5 weight classes and he couldnt handle it...........

this fight will never happen....................

however a fight with cotto will and if he beats him i think it will silence all if not most of floyds critics..........

the fight with cotto is very dangerous as well being that cotto is at a natrual weight.......with talent and heart.............

but most people just want to see floyd lose.......

floyd is not gonna take haphazard fights just to fight...........

this fight with williams is not a money maker...........

and floyd has gone to far up in weight...................

One last fight with cotto and a win versus him to close out a great carrer.....

This 'Williams isn't a moneymaker' BS has got to stop. Hearns wasn't a moneymaker when he fought Leonard. He just won the WBA strap from a stiff named Cuevas. Yet Leonard had the cojones to fight him cuz that's what the people and industry wanted.

Floyd backed out of Margarito when that's what the fans and industry wanted - NO ONE wanted to see Baldomir NO ONE - Now Cotto is the guy people want to see and Floyd is running again.

Williams will be a moneymaker when he gets the shot at mayweather. There is no doubt in hell, WILLIAMS dominates mayweather. It would be like Wladimir Klitschko vs. Byrd or somewhat like, though less explosive as Hearns vs. Duran.

[MrZeus]

It's not necessarily that williams ain't a monermaker. He just isn't the biggest moneymaker around at the moment at a time when Floyd feels he should only be involved in the biggest bouts possible.

Maybe that's because you don't understand boxing. Most of you clowns are entertaining, I'll give you that. I love the whole "Williams is wide open Mayweather would counter him" bull****. Mayweather has never fought a guy who throws over a hundred punches a round, has the chin and stamina Williams does, not to mention size and length. Most people on here have no idea what boxing is, because after watching Williams' last 7 fights it's obvious his footwork and head movement are amazing. Even Lennox Lewis kept pointing that out vs Matthysse. He slips punches and even as he moves and dodges he keeps throwing his own. Mayweather could never hurt Williams, he's too small and Paul has too good of a chin. I think Paul would beat him, but not by a huge wipeout, but at least 7-5. All these haters writing him off, including that one idiot who said Cotto and Mosley were better are hilarious.

nmuburner is the only one who apparently understands boxing on here, along with the TS to some degree. Hopkins is 42, and beating guys like Tarver and Winky Wright. Mosley was gun shy vs Cotto in a fight he could've easily won. Tell me Williams wouldn't of mopped the floor with Cotto in that fight. Is Cotto going to box him from the outside when he gasses?? PLEASE. Get a grip and get ready because Paul Williams nickname should be The Truth, and it's coming soon to a 8 inch tv (that's what most of you losers have) near you.

Williams will dominate Floyd. Margarito would bash FLoyd too, yall want to just give it to Floyd with a silver spoon on a silver platter. But yal forget he ducked Margarito three times last year.

Williams showed a lot in beating Margarito, a man who Floyd LIED to his face and will never fight. If it makes dollars it makes sense turned into who has Margarito beat? turned into we'll fight when it makes business sense turned into 'I wont fight him because of Arum.'

Williams stepped up and fought the dude. Floyd RAN. FOR A REASON. He'd lose.

He didn't wipe his ass with Margarito.
