"Paul Williams has frozen three weight divisions."

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Thats BS. Paul turned down the Pavlik fight because they low balled him, just because someone makes an "offer", doesn't mean that it was a legit offer. Furthremore, that is BS about Clottey not having enough time to train, when at the time he was suppose to be on that same Pavlik-Williams undercard fighting Quintana. Also,Paul did NOT say he didn't want to fight Clottey because he wasnt a big name, he wanted the fight, Clottey didn't want it. I understand you don't like Williams, but don't go making things up.

$1.5m is lowball?

But Cottey shouldve accepted 650k at short notice.

Ok then.

You gotta love that quote from Max.

It was 700,000 and get back to me when you find a fight where Clottey made that kind of money. It's funny how people excuse Pavlik for pulling out of a contracted fight twice. But criticize Williams for a fight he never signed for.

I read on this site it was 650. Who cares? Was still low compared to the 1.5m offer Williams turned down for Pavlik. Remember Williams wanted almost a 50/50 split....wtf?

fighthype.com/pages/content6277.html?PHPSESSID=674759efe0dd816a33a01db ba3da2017 Williams saying he wouldnt fight a nobody like Clottey .... why doesnt he give him a chance?

[Dorian]

Nobody wants to fight him at 147, I don't blame them to be honest.

[Mr. Ryan]

Three guys at 154 have expressed interest in fighting Williams. Their names are Kirkland, Dzinziruk, and now Martinez of course. Williams is avoided by big name fighters who are established though. You can't deny that.

You have to assume that Kirkland's incarceration disqualifies him from a fight with Williams. I'm actually picking Martinez to beat Williams.

[mellow_mood]

Max Kellerman is a MORON... On the other hand Paul is my boy and is definitely avoided in the Welterweight division. I'm sure Sugar Shane Mosley would fight him though.

i think sugar has come out clearly that he doesnt wants to doanything with paul williams

[DrewWoodside]

You gotta love that quote from Max.

It may have made more sense then, but I think he said it mostly cause it sounds cool and he's definitely a Williams hugger. Today it's complete nonsense. He hasn't proved himself at welterweight in way too long to still have claim over it.

[onechance87]

Yeah paul williams is a beast..I wish had a stronger fan base tho.Hopefully
by beating martinez he gets more respect.
