Comments Thread For: Paul Williams Welterweight Return May Happen on May 8

Dave - can you provide a link of this? I'm in touch with Clottey's camp quite a bit and I hear different.

See here. ....

147 is just not where he should be fighting at, he's too damn tall.

Another poster who doesn't understand that boxing has weight classes, not height classes. Do you think Hearns should also not have fought at Welterweight? He was exactly the same height as Williams and was an ATG Welterweight.

Clottey wanted the fight as much as his trainer did. When he got rid of his trainer he lost all "desire" to fight PW. Which is why he came up with that ****amamie excuse about not being ready on December 5th even though he was preparing for a fight and stays in shape.

I understand that Dave but Williams is taking advantage of his height against his oponents fighting at 147, I'm not saying he shouldn't that's just part of the game but I think he is best suited at 160 or even at 154, he looked physically stronger to me at that weight.

it doesn't matter what division P.Will fights in, he will have trouble getting the top guys from 147-160 and maybe 168 to fight him as long as he is in or near his prime. They will always try to undermind him by saying he isn't a big enough draw or they will try to chump him off on the revenue split etc. etc.

i hope to god they give it to luis collazo the guy deserves a fight like this took hatton and berto to the brink in fights which could have easily gone either way didnt disgrace himself against mosley as he hurt his hand badly in the second round but as usual people like kermit the ***** cintron will get it

[j69madrox]

Dumb. I don't see any chance at all Pacquiao, Floyd, or Mosley fighting him. Fight at 154 or 160.

[Mr Reality]

Williams coming to 147....Another fighter Floyd can test Or duck..

I think both Pacquiao & Mayweather duck P Williams.

Pacquiao would quack that he is too tall (same as with Foreman).

Mayweather would say there is not enough money.

[El Castigador]

ummm when did he show up to a middleweight fight at 157? and why did in he in his last fight at jr. middleweight did he weigh 170 on fight night?


NSB has gone to ****!

He weighed in at 157 vs. Martinez you inbred ******.
