Should Paul Williams name be put into consideration if Jermain Taylor drops out?

[FLY TY]

first things first tho.....has taylor dropped out? if not, he needs to....

but i think they'd call up allan green before paul williams, but who knows....

[FLY TY]

Why do people keep bringing up Allan Green??

What has he done to be in the tourney? He's an unimpressive underachiever.

Bute/Andrade winner should be given first dibs, otherwise, Paul is a great choice.

if bute wins....i agree.

[BoxingChaos]

he tried to, but the MW champ keeps pulling out......at 147, none of the champs will fight him...at 154, i guess he feels there aren't enough big fights....

if you can fight at 168, you should be allowed in the tourney...doesn't matter whether you came from MW, or LHW......

who the **** wants to see bika in the SMW tourney? who's the last good SMW he's beaten, dummy?



for the third time, mosley doesn't wanna fight williams....he's tried to get that fight.....

It's not a matter of who he has beat, it's more a matter of that he is available and he is a super middle weight.

Paul is untested at that weight.

I would have much rather have seen the following

Lucian Bute, Librado Andrade, Sakio Bika

over Andreas Dirrel, Andre Ward and Jermain Taylor

Bika is ranked 5th by Ring.

Higher than Ward and Dirrell the bore fest is not even ranked by RM.

I sure as hell dont want to see Green in this tourney. I much rather see Pantera over Green.

Williams is untested.

End.

It's not a lie.

If he walks around at 155 than he should be able to go even lower than 147

That logic doesn't add up - not everyone kills their body to make weight. He walks around at 155. In fact, he entered camp for the Pavlik fight at 155. He's got to be uber pissed right about now.

[Bushidō]

the source came from his trainer so I wouldn't believe that. He just said that to use it to his advantage just in case he ever lost when he moved up. Or to use it as a negotiating tool

"J.S: So what weight would the Hopkins fight be at? Could Hopkins get any lower than say, 170 or 168?

G.P: Hopkins fought at 160 for years. He could easily get down to 165. But 165 is negotiable. Maybe we will fight him at 168. That's the fight I'd like to happen. You know, 147 is our real weight class - but we are forced to do what we've done. You have to realise that when Paul fights middleweights he's going up and they're coming down. Paul walks around at 155 or 154, that's why he can still make 147 so easily."

I know not everyone kills themselves to make weight but I can't really believe if his trainer says he walks around at 155. Oh well.

I see. So your uninformed opinion is more believable. Got it.

Well then I guess that settles that.

You are right its an assumption but trainers don't always tell the truth

[Glamour Puss]

if bute wins....i agree.

If Andrade beats Bute and becomes champ, you don't think he should be there??

WTF?
