Exclusive interview: Paul the punisher williams 7-24-09

[victorythagr8]

why not fight clottey? if the roles were reversed he would be accused of ducking him.

Because he already tried to fight clottey but HBO didnt have enough money to make the fight so negotiation fell apart.

[screwhead1]

good read...thsi man is going to become a starving champ if he doesn't have someone step up...at least someone for a tune up every once in a while...come on mosley...you ain't doing ****...get at him at 154...or pavlik can run it at 160...

true, i can't see hbo buying that fight, both fighters have no drawing power and both need a top draw to even get views.

saying that didn't clottey-cotto pull in the joint most views for a hbo regular telecast this year?

chunk that up to the ricans tho...

williams will beat up cotto as badly as he beat up quintana the first fight

cotto would kill williams to the body. Williams gets hit too much.

DL: Does anything interest you at junior middleweight?

PW: Right now, I just want to fight. Mr. Perterson, Al, Dan… They put it together for me, I’m definitely down for it. You ask me who I want to fight? I say I fight everybody. Put ‘em all in the ring at once. They got to make the right decisions for me. They know I’m ready to fight. But the problem is getting the guys to fight that everybody wants to see. HBO don’t want to put on a fight with a guy that’s not worthy of fighting me and he get in the ring and one round it’s over. They at least want a competition. I want a competition. That makes me step my skill level up when I got a guy that’s trying to fight like that.


DL: It seems like if a fighter can go from 147 to 168 that at some point he’s either going too high or too low. What are your thoughts on that?

PW: My thing is I’ve done been in the ring with heavyweights and all that. And I know how to work with them guys. I know how to handle myself in the ring. So I’ll go to just about any weight that me and Mr. Peterson feel comfortable with. And I think Joe Calzaghe is the best out there at 168 and he proved that. He beat my favorite fighter, Roy Jones, and I want to revenge that.


DL: You talk about big punchers… You looked great against Winky, but he’s not considered a big puncher at 160. And some of the fans out there consider you a natural welterweight and that a big puncher at 160 would be too much for you. What do you think of that?

PW: All I can tell my fans is that put us in the ring. Get them and put us in the ring. And then that proves to my fans, it don’t matter, big punchers or whatever they say… I just want to get in the ring with them guys. I mean if everybody’s saying that I’m a natural welterweight and if I get in there with a big 160 guy he’s gonna knock me out or he’s gonna hurt me or the guy’s too big, why don’t them guys step up to the plate?.

^^^^ becaz of the bold i am now a bigger fan of williams lol

[Iceta]

That was a good interview, but I don't like of how he didn't talk anything about Kelly Pavlik hardly. It makes me skeptical of how much he really wants that fight. I thought they were in negotiations, and yet Williams isn't saying anything about him?

[mellow_mood]

bumppppp damn... its a shame nobody care about this skinny asss

[hookoutofhell]

williams seems to **** the 'most avoided fighter in the world' drum a bit too much.

imo part of the problem is that he isn't fighting in one division, look at clottey he had to spend years in the wilderness while the likes of margarito, cotto, SSM all faced each other. but he got his chance because he amassed a record along with good wins that meant he could no longer be overlooked.

i really like williams but he needs to stop going on about how he can't get a big fight, stay in one division beat the top 5/6 guys, take a pay cut if you need to to make the fight happen but ffs stop your whinging.
