[Piper the Great]

lets do the math

williams ko over a mw = the end of his ww career. nobody will fight him now. he should stay @ mw or sww try to fight winky vernon spinks pavlik ect

[Sox8055]

[FUC_U_PAYME]

The hype may also get to his brain no doubt. Boxing need a man like this, he fears no one that is a great bonus.

really he doesn't???

Paul ‘The Punisher’ Williams has gained a reputation as a man not many welterweight boxers want to fight. But there is one man out there who keenly would like to step in the ring and do battle with the WBO titleholder - it’s Joshua Clottey, the newly crowned IBF king.

And it’s seems a bit strange that Williams is not jumping at the chance to increase his status and bargaining power by meeting Clottey on a date HBO has supposedly set aside for Williams and his advisor Al Haymon in November.

“Every time I bring up (a Williams fight) to Arum he says, Oh he’ll never fight us,” Clottey’s manager Vinny Scolpino said on Thursday. “And that would be decent money. You’ve got Al Haymon with HBO, you’d think there’d be decent money there.”

Clottey was willing to step in and fight Williams as his first title defense opponent earlier this year but did not get the chance. Team Williams opted to select Carlos Quintana as their opponent. “We’ll fight Paul Williams but he never steps up to the plate,” says Scolpino. “We’d love to fight but he never mentions our name. That’d be a good unification bout. I don’t think they have an opponent for the November 29 HBO date.”

HBO is supposedly holding the November 29 date open for Williams and a TBD. And what better choice of a TBD is there for Williams than a unification tiff with the mighty Ghanaian Joshua Clottey? Margarito is done for the year and is reported to be decided on an early ‘09 tune-up before a June rematch with Cotto. WBC champ Andre Berto is busy with Steve Forbes next month. Oscar De La Hoya will battle Manny Pacquiao in December.

Paul Williams and Clottey would seem like a perfect match-up for HBO and boxing fans for November 29. “If he’s open, we’re open, let’s make it,” says Scolpino. “But like I said, I’ve never seen him (Williams) talk once about Joshua Clottey in any of the articles on the internet.”

The fact of the matter is this: Nobody seems to want to fight Joshua Clottey, not even Paul Williams. “Yeah, it seems that way, don’t it,” says Scolpino. “We always get close. We need a big fight for the kid.”

Where is the new IBF champion right now? “He’s in Ghana now. Waiting for something to pop. Then he’ll come home (to the Bronx).”

Team Clottey is grateful for how Bob Arum has managed to turn Joshua’s career around with the big chance and huge victory over Zab Judah. “Bob is trying to make some things happen. Top Rank did what they said they would, they got us the Judah fight. They keep trying.”

But for some odd reason, Paul Williams, Al Haymon and the rest of Team Williams seem to want nothing to do with a unification bout against Joshua “The Hitter” Clottey

Kolle has been down . Kolle has been hurt . And I don't give a **** what Andre Ward did to him, I am NOT impressed. If he fought a legit middleweight, I might have been impressed. But, he didn't. He fought Andy Kolle....And who the **** is Andy Kolle again? Nah, I don't know either. And people saying that Kolle would beat Williams is laughable,

Andy Kolle = BUM.

I don't like calling any pro fighter a bum. they would whoop our ass! but kolle's last 3 opponents were 0-15 in their last 5 fights

[ANDROID_DOES]

Because he was the favorite going into that fight and I bet $$$ on Pavlik by KO. He was thought to be a top P4P fighter, HBO tried to push him huge. (Taylor for those not aware)

And Kolle had been down once off balance, not hurt and got up at 1, do you know anything about what you're talking about?? He had never been hurt in a fight and that was the only time he was "down". The one thing EVERY scribe and analyst said was Kolle was very durable. Learn something before hating.

dude are you really trying to hype up kolle to make williams look better???

[Pullcounter]

I don't like calling any pro fighter a bum. they would whoop our ass! but kolle's last 3 opponents were 0-15 in their last 5 fights

williams is just testing the waters at 160 and trying to set up a pavlik fight. no need for people to blow things out of proportion.

[ANDROID_DOES]

Study him and watch his career?? All you spit are opinions, and your opinions are just based on word of mouth, the guy was 17-1 never hurt or been down. You argued that, but you have never even watched another fight of his. Normally when I debate something, I try to learn the facts of both sides, to avoid embarrassing myself like you just did.

Williams called out Pavlik, they will probably end up fighting. And when Williams wins, which I think he has a 65% chance of doing, I want to see you come on here admit you were wrong. By the way, "nobody at BS is afraid of Williams" or whatever. Are you talking about the posters?? Haha what the **** you talkin about fool??

you give williams a 65% over pavlik?????????

WOW!! one of three things are happening in that post:

1. You are greatly overrating williams
2. you are greatly underrating pavlik
3. You are greatly nut hugging williams let go a little bit please!

When williams knocks out Miranda, when williams Knocks out taylor, then beats him in a rematch, when williams beats hopkins then come talk to me. until then williams is doing what he's always done talk, talk, talk, hoping for a paycheck. Pavlik would knock the **** out of williams!

[El Jesus]

Hes just talking, even he dont believe that ****.
