I hope this fight goes through. This winner should take on the best 147 pounder which is Margarito. Both guys got unfinished business with the Tornado. So Haymon and Arum stop crying like girls and do this for us the Fans
Joshua Clottey Wants Paul Williams on November 29
Collapse

My assessment on this fight from another thread........
Although Clottey is a good boxer, who has a solid guard and nice crisp punches he will lose to Paul Williams. Clottey is either on offense or defence so if you attack him all night you can force him to be very defensive minded. Also Clottey tends to fade in fights and I doubt that would work out well in a fight with Williams. I also think Clottey is kind of a front runner so if things start to turn bad I do not know if he can turn it around.
Williams is a sloppy boxer there is no getting around that. Clottey should be able to land some nice crisp right hands. Williams gives up his height and likes to fight inside a lot which would actually work out well against Clottey, Willaims grappling should allow him to get some work done on the inside. Clottey is far superior boxer from a technical standpoint so that should help him. The range of the fight would be crucial, because I think Clottey would have it better from distance even with Williams reach. Clottey would have to be very active over 12 rounds to win a decision, or damage Williams face enough so the fight is stopped, but Clottey would have to pace himself because if he throws to much early he will most likely fade and Williams will take over as the fight progresses.
I think Clottey is tough enough and good enough to get to the end of the fight and even win a few rounds, I just think Williams would win 8 of them. I can't really see either guy getting knocked out to be honest, if Clottey was a big puncher it would be possible but he is not a 1 punch knock out artist, and even though Williams lets himself get hit clean way to much I do not think Clottey is the type of fighter that would take advantage of that flaw.Comment

kinda ironic
he keeps saying that Margarito is ducking him and everyone is scared because he knocked out a 5'6 Quintanna and some Bum named Kolle, but i am curious to see how Williams backs out of this fight... Clottey is a very good boxer and i think he would beat williams by decision but i also think after the whupping Quintanna gave him the first fight that he will stay away from defensive boxers like Clottey who likes to counterpunch and stick to bums or guys 7 inches shorter to keep his titleComment
