      Lets not go offtopic to try and prove a point which isn't working btw. Paul is hype and nothing more.

        That could be right, but would he be able to even reach Williams since Paul is so tall and has a freakish reach for a WW.

          just stating the facts..
          So in other words American fighters are allowed to fight at home but other fighters who do this are scared to leave their country.

          For your information, Calzaghe has fought outside Wales on numerous ocassions and has fought outside Britain as well. I wonder where his next fight is going to be?

            Mosley has more speed and power than Williams which easily makes up for his reach and height advantage + he is a lot more experienced than the Middleweight reject.

              Yeah, he still is calling out margarito, and Paul still needs to fight quintana. If judah/ margarito happens, i have to assume cintron will fight clottey. if zab/ marg doesnt happen, cintron might have to fight marg in the spring, then clottey early summer. if this happens, Pwil/ cintron would probably be late summer/ early fall. Steward doesnt mind fighting his fighters often.

              i got this info from Gabriel Montoya over at the boxing doghouse. He is putting together an article about the entire situation. It's actually a pretty complicated situation where what the fighters want, what the managers want, what the trainers want, and what HBO wants dont really jive with one another, at all. They are hoping to have it sorted out by summer so they can Tango.

                I don't know who is more hyped, Paul Williams or Chad Dawson. Atleast Dawson has good skill though I guess.

                    I don't know about easily. Margarito couldn't fight his fight because Williams was keeping him at distance with the jab. Mosley's speed and power advantage wouldn't mean anything if he couldn't get to Williams.

                      good to know, at least the right mix of boxers are being put together and the welterweight division will actually sort itself out. i agree with you about Margarito and Cintron having the best shot at beating williams, they have the size and power, just need to be more busy. I think Cotto can do it to, IF he finds a way inside bc there's a chance Williams could keep him out of range the whole night. Clottey would also give him a tough fight too, maybre tougher than cintron in my opinion. I actually would pick Williams over Mayweather, as long as he doesn't get greedy and just boxes with the jab all night I don't see anything he could do.
