You should.He is very good altough he might be past his prime.
Superb boxer.His fight with Santos is one of the greatest technical fights in recent times.
That being said I'd pick Williams to win a UD.Comment

He has a belt at JMW already interim or not.
Belts mean shot anyway.
If he beats Dzinziruk,Martinez and a Cintron or Angulo he is the man.Comment

I wasn't crazy about the 165 offer. But 168 sounds more reasonable. B-Hop should be able to go down just a couple of pounds and at least that is a real weight division.(a) HBO have already said that although they don't mind if he fights Dzinziruk, they'd far rather he fights Clottey - so they're lukewarm about it at best.
(b) Dzinziruk's fall-out with Universum means he definitely won't be able to fight in October - that's far too soon for him to be able sort out the legal problems with Universum, find a new promoter, and get fully fit - and Williams' camp is adamant that he doesn't want to wait beyond October before having his next fight.
So I don't see how Williams-Dzinziruk could possibly happen this year; and I'm still hoping that Williams' next but one fight will be against Pavlik in January, assuming Pavlik's injury heals in time and if Pavlik hasn't completely fallen apart mentally (which I'm worried he might have done, given the reports of missed doctor's appointments, general unfitness, etc.).
If Williams still hopes to fight Pavlik in January then fighting at Welterweight in October wouldn't make much sense, so I don't think he'll fight Clottey this year either.
That leaves him with two options for October - B-Hop or Martinez. Of those I think the Martinez fight would be much easier to make - and a much more meaningful fight, because Williams' camp have said they want Hopkins to come in below the minimum weight he thinks he can make without being weight drained, which is just bull****. If Williams doesn't want to fight Hopkins at his own weight, they shouldn't fight.Comment

This guy is not getting Williams. He's a nobody who's never been on TV. If Paul is waiting until December to fight, then he will be able to get someone much better than this guy.
Also, it's really unlikely that Paul is taking that October date now. Too much time has been wasted. Paul isn't fighting til December at the earliest.Comment

that's crazy man....hopkins challenged williams. he should be willing to make concessions also. williams' last two fights at MW, he only weighed in 157, now you expect him to put on a full 13 pounds more, and not have any ill effects? hopkins wants the fight at 170, i say 168 is far more fair. hopkins stays in shape, if he can make 170, he can do 168.....or fight chad dawson. or roy jones, for that matter...Comment
