Paul Williams calls out pac and mayweather

[HaglerSteelChin]

And how is a good point when Paul has fought smaller guys his whole career while Floyd has fought bigger guys 99% of his career !!!

P williams fought many guys near his weight and height when he fought as Jr Middleweight and Middleweight. He wanted to fight pavlik who is like 6-2 and a half and even he chicken out. With bogus staph infection while missing doctor appointments and than now fighting in December anyway.


Floyd fought many small mexican fighters at 130-135. He beat guys like Carlos Hernandez and Jesus Chavez who were shorter and had far less reach than him. Even when he fought Zab at welter it wasent like they were bigger than him or even Arturo Gatti at 140 or had fights in the 120's in his early career.

Often it comes down to skill in boxing. Thomas Hearns was a monster but shorter guys like Leonard and hagler still KOd him. Quintana beat P Willaims in their first fight being like 4 inches shorter, if Mayweather had great confidence in his skill he would have fought Williams.

Be Honest, can Paul Williams even sell 1/60th of the tickets?

no...hell no and **** no

Pac Moving up 7 weight classes > Williams moving down 2 weight classes

Mayweather Moving up 5 weight classes > Williams moving down 2 weight classes

Actually Pac moved 11 weightclasses. He just got belts in 7 weightclasses. I don't understand why Paul Williams is not blatantly criticized for fighting at welterweight when he debuted as a junior middleweight. It don't matter if he can make welterweight. The only reason he does this is because of the big advantage that he has over the other welterweights. If he really wants to be great then he should be doing what other greats are doing like going higher and not going one weight class lower and people is saying that what he is doing is a great thing. Even Armstrong started at a lower weight, featherweight although he won the featherweight belt then welterweight then lightweight belt simultaneously. Paul Williams should not be compared to Henry Armstrong at all because what he is doing is not very Armstrongesque like.

With that said Paul Williams SUCK balls.

Calling out guys half your size seems to be the new thing, Oscar does it, Hopkins does it, Williams does it. I think im gonna go with the flow and go over to the neigbour and beat up his kid. It's a huge risk for me as he is p4p at his daycare group.

I don't see what everyones beef with PW is. If he can make the weight then **** it, he can fight where he wants. There's no penalty for being too tall. The guys' a beanpole.

[Matt Marvelous]

I just don't buy that Floyd is going to change his stance and just "take on the world" before he retires. Floyd is confident, but he's also realistic about fights. I doubt he would even be back in boxing if it weren't for a fight with Pacquiao. I would bet that he fights Pacquiao once or twice and then leaves again, probably for good. His fans still believe he's willing to be a fighting champion, but it's probably not going to happen.

Excuses Excuses

I like Floyd and Pac but if he can make the weight why not ?

Floyd is about the money....cool I understand that but if he cared about his legacy there are only 3 fighters that could help with that.
Pac - SSM - Paul

Pac doesn't care about the money as much and his legacy means the world to a whole f'n lot of people.
On a side note he's done enough to skip this fight and not catch hell for it.

SSM will take the fight when he gets to Floyd or Pac. SSM will be here for a while win/lose/draw because he seems to have been reborn with his new not so new trainer.

Other than that there is no reason to nag about weight cutting. Paul is just trying to make a name for himself while the big dog vets are still skillfully active.

they need to fight.

I can't hold floyd or pac accountable for not fighting williams when he's a natural MW and they were lightweights at the age of 21. For them to be expected to fight a 6'1 WW he has to beat some credible elite opponents and become a big name fighter and draw. I used to like this cat but when you criticize someone for fighting smaller fighters in the fourth division of his career and your 2 divisions below your natural division you just sound ridiculous. Is he serious? give it up man and go prove yourself in the MW division and stop trying to keep yourself in the spotlight by calling out the proven fighters in the 4th+ division who have already made it clear they won't fight you.

Yea but Williams offered Clottey his highest payday and Clottey turned it down. So yeah....

HBO killed the Williams/Clottey fight, not Clottey.
