The wbo warned williams he would be stripped if he didn't defend his title and still went up to fight verno. He pretty much vacated his only bargaining power he had at 147 to fight verno and verno got stripped as well. It's really unexplainable.
    hmm... didn't know verno got stripped. in anycase it hopefully w/ set paul up for fights at 154 and 160 which is what the verno and kolle fights were. I'm glad he dropped the WBO belt... its worthless.

      Berto won't fight him cause of Dibella. There is people out there that would fight him, but like you...he only wants Margarito. He should of chased other top WWs, even if they don't have a belt.

        the wbo belt was/is worthless... if money marg couldn't get fights w/ it neither will pwill... marg actually did better for his career by losing it to pwill.

          so clottey, quintana, mosley, cintron are bums? I see. Now he's left with no belts in any divisions! It was a dumb move but at the same time something that dumb could only be because he didn't want to make 147 anymore unless it was for margarito

                I think paul's just sending the message out that he's willing to fight from 147 to 160

                  i don't think pwill kills himself to get to 147 and he is impatient.

                    Like me? For the record, I'm not even a Williams fan. I would have been happy to see him fight anyone at WW but I will admit, I really want to see a rematch between Marg and Wills. Margarito would whoop his ass IMO. Did you mean "like I said?"

                    The WBO is a trinket but it holds more weight than what he has now which is jack **** at WW.

                      Yes PW is impatient. Tony kept fighting top guys and it finally paid off, I think PW should of followed that example and not just concentrate on one person.

                      So you took me off ignore?? lol
