    What is a likely and possible next fight for Paul Williams?

    Who's availible or better yet, who's not?

    147:
    Shane Mosley - no upcoming opponent.
    Cotto & Clottey are out.

    154:
    Vernon Forrest?? Anyone know if he has an upcoming fight?
    James Kirkland is out till the end of 2009 (has two fights lined up).
    Angulo is fighting Kermit Cintron.


    160:
    Pavlik has Sergio Mora
    Abraham??

    168:
    Roy Jones declined.
    Bernard Hopkins possible
    Anyone else at 168 or higher seems very unlikely, I doubt he would go after anyone that big unless they had a huge name like jones or hopkins, so any kessler, etc would be out of the question.

    Who am I missing? Quintana is availible if he wants a trilogy. Other than that, who else is there?

    I think he might actually end up fighting another lesser opponent to stay active because I don't see any big name or title holder fighting him soon. The one possible chance would be Hopkins who did express some interest.

        Forrest is fighting Martinez
        Kirkland is fighting Dzinziruk
        Daniel Santos is available. Winner of Spinks-Latimore is an option. Abraham is an option if he decides not to take on his mandatory.

          Thanks.

          Kirkland is fighting Dzinziruk
          Kirkland is fighting before then too on the Pacquiao undercard.

          Daniel Santos is available. Winner of Spinks-Latimore is an option. Abraham is an option if he decides not to take on his mandatory.
          Santos seems like a really good option.

            I seriously doubt Williams is willing to commit suicide at this point of his life.

                  Forrest is tied up with Martinez, Mosley won't fight him. I'd like to see him fight Abraham at 160, that would be a great fight and one he could win in order to set him up a date with Kelly Pavlik. Or him fighting Hopkins could also be a great fight although not sure he'd like to go up to 170 at this stage.

                    Abraham has Giovanni Lorenzo. Possibly B-Hop
