    Yeah but Margarito took the Mosley fight because he thought he would run right through him and it would be a nice payday vs an ageing Mosley.

    You aren't getting a payday OR an easy win against Williams.. there really is nothing to gain by fighting Paul.

      you can get a decent payday. pavlik and williams were both going to make millions before pavlik tucked tail and ran. hbo bought mosley-berto i'm sure they would pay the same or more for mosley-williams. mosley would rather take an easier fight than paul williams. that's ducking.

          Nobody is going to fight Williams at 147. He and his team knows that. I personally think it's just Marketing

            Yes!

            I told you Floyd fans the other day, keep on eating up everything that FLoyd says, and you will soon pay the price.

            What was that price?

            As soon as Floyd ruins the Pac fight from happaning, and monster will come lurking.

            He is already planting the seeds.

            The man you clowns ran to, to get the Margarito monkey off of Floyds back, may be the man to put Floyd on his back.........


            Before any Floyd fan responds with a ****** comment, just remember how you guy use to brag how Paul could go from 147-160 at anytime?

            Floyd was retired then.

            Matter fact, there is nothing to worry about, Floyd will just ignore Paul like he did twice before......

              You can get a "decent" payday, but the risk/reward ratio doesn't make it worth it.

                Goosen claimed that Shane Mosley ducked Paul Williams and as much as I like Mosley, it is 100% accurate. By everbody's standards Berto is too big for Mosley too because Berto started out his career as a Middleweight. Shane went with Berto to cherry pick a weaker link. No other way you can describe it. Of course people will bring Floyd in the discussion, and he deserves criticism as well.

                I've said this time and time again. But if Mosley would've fought Paul Williams during the time frame that Goosen was talking about, he would be more in the discussion of getting a fight with Floyd or Pacquiao. And this would be true even if he lost. Did that stop Margarito from fighting Shane just because Mosley had an L to Cotto in a close fight?

                And now since Mosley is tied up with Berto in January instead of being smart and fighting Williams earlier this year, he is further off of Pacquiao and Mayweather's radar.
                I disagree, I think it would of hurt him more. If he would of beat P-Will there is no way Floyd fights him. And, maybe not even Pac. Shane problem was that he looked to good against Margarito. If he would of struggled with Margarito but still won then you would of seen Floyd fight him. But, he look too good. And, if Shane beats P-Will and looks good doing it and then forget about it. Floyd would of straight out duck him.

I don't care how old Winky Wright was, but nobody could've punked him the way Paul did. That thing that Williams did by hitting Winky with an uppercut when Winky was hugging his arm was a thing of beauty.
                  It wasn't that Winky was old but he was also inactive. And, when was the last time WInky won a fight?

                    Why do you think he has no intentions of fighting at 147?
