A couple rumors

Would be strange to see Paul in there with a guy the same size as him.

williams is fighting haye?

Steve Kim - I'm hearing that Arum is leaning more and more towards Soto to face Pac


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope the fight against Soto or Valero will not be PPV but knowing Arum it most likely will be

soto deserves it more than edwin.

edwin might be undefeated but humberto has fought better opponents.

i think valero would've been easier for manny than soto.

agree on wishing it wasn't ppv though. that'd be $150 for just manny this year for me.....

Williams has a world title and still nobody wants to fight him. It's a good move for him.

Maybe Im wrong, but I disagree. If Margs started wearing him down I can't see how the bigger, stronger and harder punching Pavlik won't do the same, only earlier. If Williams had that Tommy Hearns type of power I might feel different, but he is not a huge puncher at welter, How is he going to keep the bigger guys off him at middleweight?

Williams can't land a decent paying fight this year. A shot at Pavlik would give him his biggest paycheck and his biggest opportunity. He clearly has the frame of a big middleweight, so it's not like he'd be bloated. And the bottom line is that if he loses, he still has a welterweight title to go back to.

Williams cuts a lot of weight to make 147 that along with the work that Margarito was putting could have played a role in why he wore down like that. So with cutting a lot of weight not being a issue you never know how Williams body might react. I still would pick Pavlik to win though.
