On more than one occasion, undefeated junior middleweight contender James Kirkland has mentioned a possible future fight with WBO interim-junior middleweight champion Paul Williams. The two could be in position very soon. Kirkland is challenging the full WBO champion Sergei Dzinziruk in the summer. If Kirkland wins, Williams would technically be his mandatory. That all depends on whether or not Williams moves back down to junior middleweight. He faces Winky Wright at 160-pounds on April 11. A solid win over Wright may open a more lucractive door at 160 or even at 147, where Williams is targeting Shane Mosley and Miguel Cotto. [details]

The 4 million offer was real. This makes Margarito look even worse -
Its true, its damn true...Comment

Williams is after Cotto. Let's see what the coward does nextComment

And it begins... I knew this fight would eventually happen, probably in the fallComment

Man, Kirkland is no where near ready for a fight with Williams. He'll get badly cut up and bruised by that skinny monster Paul Williams.Comment

Kirkland would probably lose to Williams no matter when they fought. Williams is a bad style for anyone below 154.
The reason nobody wants to fight him isnt because he's that great, its just because he has such giant physical advantages against most the guys at that weight.
For instance I dont think he's better than Mosley but at the same time I can see why Mosley, Cotto, Judah or anyone at 147 would avoid him altogether. He's basically picking on little guys. Only Clottey's crazy ass would probably take that fight, but thats why we love Joshua "he cannot tek my pounches" Clottey, lol.
Imagine Pavlik fighting Shane Mosley, Pavlik and Williams are the same size.
Williams needs to quit bitching about welters not wanting to fight him and move up to fight guys his own size.
I doubt guys at 160 and 168 are gonna duck him.Comment

Williams is great fighter. Let chavez win a couple of matches and defend title a few times and this williams guy will lift chavez fighting name back if he tko williams like his dad did to taylor. Chavez will bring back the excitement like it was when his dad ruled the pay per views in the 90's. The raza will once again have a legend to root for. Lots of people dont like the kid but when chavez knocks the best thats when boxing will become what it was in the 90's. This kid is the future of boxing. Let them guide him to the point where all he is doing is defending his title. Come the day he only fights the best. Remember where this came from ''brickman''.Comment

I think you guys are wrong. I think Williams is a beast but there is something that I always talk about on these boards far more then anyone else and Im a firm beleiver in it. A ton of guys have major major major trouble with Southpaws and even alot of Southpaws have major trouble with Southpaws. Williams is a much better fighter then Kirkland and he knocked Quintana out in round 1 but guess what? He also lost to Quintana over 12 real rounds and got hit clean a bunch. Even in the rematch Quintana still got a couple of good shots in. I just dont fully trust Williams against Southpaws. I still say that if he fought Quintana, Cotto, and Margarito a 100 times each that he would lose to Quintana more times then he would lose to the other 2 even though they are clearly better then Quintana and thats because of the Southpaw style.
Williams is better then Kirkland and should win but I dont fully trust him against the lefties and I think Kirkland can hit him clean alot and trust me, Quintana hits nothing like Kirkland. I said the same thing about Cintron and Berto. These guys should stick to fighting Rightes until there really ready for Southpaws. Williams even got hit clean alot against Sharmba Mitchell when he beat him. Its too dangerous and too high risk/low reward at this pointComment
