And it is true, PW does call out just about every welterweight. But the reason he hasn't gotten a fight is because there is NO MONEY in a fight with PW. It is too much risk for too little reward. Honestly, outside of boxing fans who has heard of PW? I was at the Home Depot he had fight with Margarito, the venue seats maybe 5000 people and the place was easily half empty.
The truth is PW hasn't fought anyone. What elite fighter has he fought? Much less, has a win against? His only notable wins came against "B" level (Mitchell, Mathysse,*Margarito) competition, at best. Because he hasn't fought an "A" level fighter no one knows how he is going to respond when he faces real adversity. Plus, he's a very tall southpaw that throws many punches. That combination equals too much risk for NO MONEY.
My prediction is PW will not get a major fight in 2008 unless he KO'S Quintana impressively. A mere decision won't prove anything.
Having that said, if he does KO Quintana impressively, who would you like to see him fight first? Mayweather, Cotto, or Mosley
* In my book, at the moment, both PW and Margarito are unproven fighters because neither of them have ANY notable wins against an elite fighter.
