Lou DiBella Responds To Paul Williams vs. Andre Berto

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

DiBella is seeing things very realistically here.

DiBella is making Berto look bad with all the excuses.

Imagine if Floyd said "i don't want to fight Matgarito because I'm a very small welterweight". That would not fly.

The physical size difference between P-Dub and Berto is no different than Mayweather/Delahoya. Just height.

source? where'd you get that?

Boxrec will prove this true.

I'm a fan of Berto, but he isn't in the same league as Mayweather when it comes to defense and ring savvy. His style will cause him to take a lot of punishment against welters like Margarito or Williams. DiBella is looking out for his fighter's best interest.

Neither Berto or Williams are #1 welterweight . That honor belongs to Antonio The Tijuana Tornado Margarito!!!
Williams had his chance to fight an immediate rematch with Tony bu both Williams and Goosen answered with " We are not interested in fighting Margarito again we've just beaten him"
Now Tony is in the drivers seat, so they can just sit in the corner and cry. When he's ready Tony will put Paul in his place

yeah he is and williams is really tough calling out a fighter at 5-8. Williams seems like a cool dude i would actually be somewhat of a fan of his if he would man up and take on people his size. He gets no respect from me fighting at 147

did tommy hearns?????

Paul doesn't need your respect little indian.

You have a nerve critisizing Williams for fighting smaller guys when Tony has more fights above 147 than Paul...not to mention he just fought an overrated dwarf named Cotto.

How tall is Golden Johnson??

**** outta' here *****.

Let's see Tony "man-up" and rematch Williams..instead of seeking another fight against the Bootyrican bambino...lol

That's about the tenth time i've heard you say margarito has fought more times above 147 than pwill.

margarito has 8 fights above 147 making the big jump to 150 and 154.

Williams FIRST 11 FIGHTS WERE ABOVE 154 OR HIGHER. ADD THE OTHER 11 FIGHTS ABOVE THE 147 CLASS AND THATS 22 TOtAL FIGHTS FOR WILLIAMS ABOVE 147

are you seriously that ******? nevermind i asked you have answered that question.

did tommy hearns?????

sorry tommy hearns fought before my time and i know nothing about his situation and circumstances at the time. pwill still over shadows hearns hard to believe that would ever happen.

That's ridiculous. Paul Williams is the welterweight champ of the world. Therefore, he's a welter. Just because he CAN go up to middle doesn't mean anything. Why then doesn't Pavlik fight at 147? Because he couldn't make the weight if he cut off two arms. Williams can and, hence, can call out any welter he pleases...regardless of their height.

hey fan boy let me ask you this. Why do you say what i bolded? it doesn't make sense. Most boxers move up in weight when their careers progress williams has done the opposite and moved down. so for you to say he can move up is pretty ****** considering that's his natural weight and it's not moving up like what a floyd has done. don't fool yourself he doesn't move up in weight he has moved down

[CaLLaHaN]

If he can make weight I dont see why u guys are complaing about this all of a sudden now?

Its been like this ever since these divisions started....

[KnuckleUp]

Last time I check boxing categeries are acording to weight not height,if they both make 147 he is picking on someone his own size! what do you guys want him to fight heavyweights cuz hes 6'1 excuses excuses he said he was the best welterweight and he got called out next time he needs to say hes the best ww 5'8 an
