    also, moving from weight class to weight class, while it may seem like a "catchy" idea, it can also prevent him from getting the signature fights, by allowing fighters of certain weight classes to ignore him, by saying he's fighting "at other weights."

    he needs to settle down in a weight class, clean house, and quit having fights in different cities everytime.
    HBO does that. I dont think they are trying to market him for one city. Hes a rare fighter that they are promoting everywhere.

    Hes going to dominate Cintron. If he can get Pavlik or Martinez that will go a long way.

      I don't agree with 7-5, but the rest of what you said is absolute truth.
      It was a war!!!

      They have to do it again.

        Williams has already offered Martinez the re-match.

            P Will needs to beat a star to become one. He isn't gonna make a star out of himself.

              f--- cintron. he's got business with martinez i'd like to see settled first. if he beats martinez, more convincingly this time, that will take him a long way, and only helps his argument when demanding 50-50 from pavlik.

                Thing is Pavlik has offered Martinez a shot at the title,Martinez should accept!!That weight when Martinez beats Pavlik & the Punisher whoops Cintron,the rematch will be at 160 for the title & we'll never be bothered by Pavlik again!!

                    Pavlik is and will be a bigger draw than Williams.

                      A rematch needs to happen.

                      I just re-watched that fight last night, and I must say, to the unbiased eye, Paul got punished....I did have it a draw, but folks try to make it seem like Paul won tons of rounds. He didn't.
                      i agree i thought sergio won actually. hbo cant make him a draw cuz win or lose he will be getting punished in fights cuz he's easy to hit. to become a draw you have to win big, dominate and he aint gona do that to the top fighters out there. he will be in another war with cintron when they fight.
