    imo marg was in a different position then to what Pw is in now. PW at the minute is a recognised champ at WW he has defeated good fighters there and has picked up a belt. when marg was being ducked he wasn't a big draw, he wasn't a big name so he was never going to get the big fights.

    .

    Margarito had been a recognized champ in his division for years.
    Paul Williams isn't a draw right now.


    Whats so different really?

      ok i stopped reading there. At that time margarito was a 6 year ww champion and had defended his belt 9 times i think. He had a solid resume. Paul williams failed in his first title defense. You say when marg was being ducked he wasn't a big draw or a big name. So what you're saying is that paul is a big draw and a big name? No one even knows this dude, no one cares for paul. he's no where near a big name or draw. He's still fighting at casino venues, and needs chris arreola on his card to help bring interest to his fights. In your theory paul wiliams should never get big fights because if you think he's a draw or a big name then i don't know what to tell you other than ask why does a champion keep fighting at indian casino resorts in front of maybe 1,000 people??

        I think the reason Williams isnt getting much spotlight from the casual fan is because most casual fans only really watch boxing on HBO and the last time Williams was on HBO he was on the wrong end of a UD from Quintana so the casual fan might lose interest after seeing that fight, if he wins impressivly against Phillips and looks good doing it then thatll could start to peak peoples interest

                      maybe i haven't been clear enough - yes marg was a champ but in a division with p4p HOF money mayweather and a supremely gifted and well backed miguel cotto, marg didn't have anything that really stood him apart from the others, so without a huge fan base, a big promoter constantly talking him up and with his natural strength and size its no wonder that he got the ' most feared fighter in the world tag'.

                      PW on the other hand has something about him, maybe its the size i remember fans having a similar fascination with tommy hearns.

                      PW vs marg is the one fight that i think most ppl would make if they could.

                      personally like i said befoehand im surprised that marg didn't pursue the rematch maybe hes waiting till its harder for Pw to make 147 and then take him on - who knows?
