    Assuming it's for the title, the light middleweight division will be stronger with Williams as IBF titleholder than with Phillips.

    If it's not for the title, then it's a much less interesting fight.

      Forrest has a mandatory with Sergio Martinez, right?

      Dzindiruk doesn't fight in America, he's deep cover in Germany.

      Santos would have been good also but Phillips is a worthy champion as well. Maybe Santos already has an engagement.

                Mike Tyson is 5'10, Lewis is 6'5.

                Shame on Lewis for beating up on little Tyson.

                Paul Williams beat Margarito, live with it.

                    Wlliams should take this one without much trouble. At least Phillips is durable so we'll get to see how much Williams has improved as a boxer, and we'll see just how real his new found power is.

                      Awesome observation, thank you for helping me put that fight in it's proper historical context.

                      The fact is I was making an observation regarding Texanballer's assertion that Williams was picking on a guy who weighed more than he but had a height disadvantage.

                      The fact is, you should always fight someone taller than yourself or you are a "coward."

                      ...unless it is your favorite fighter, then it's OK to be a hypocrite.
