Pacquiao is Henry Armstrong in this era, who is PBF?

[Khalid X]

Paul Williams, Timothy Bradley and Sergio Martinez all wanted the fight.

Williams on Pac.

"Man, I'd love to get in there with Pacquiao. He throws a lot of punches and I throw a lot of punches. It would be an exciting fight...They say he's the best because he beat Cotto and he has the belt: he's really hot, but I'd like to get in there and prove myself with him and see how my skills match up to his skills. They say I'm too big for him, but he's a warrior. He fought ODH, and Oscar's bigger than him. I don't think size matters: it's how big your heart is,"

He went on to say "I may want to come back and get my belt from him," "Everybody says he's the best welterweight out there right now. In my mind, if I settle in on welterweight, he wouldn't be the best. So for right now, he is the best because I'm not at that weight. I'm not knocking him, but he's never proved himself to me. He's never fought me."

Since it appears that Manny Pacquiao will never fight Shane Mosley for some reason that only Manny and perhaps Freddie Roach know the reason, why isn’t Pacquiao and his promotional team considering welterweight Paul Williams (37-1, 27 KOs) as an opponent for August instead of fighters like Edwin Valero or Miguel Cotto?


Of the names mentioned for Pacquiao’s next fight or the one beyond that, Williams’ name has been strangely absent from the mix. Could it be that Williams is too dangerous for a fighter like Pacquiao to fight, is that it?
I don’t know about you, but if Williams isn’t being considered as an option for Pacquiao then Manny might as well give up his pound for pound #1 status and hand it to Williams, because he’s not kidding anyone by side stepping around him.

Say what you want about Williams being taller than Pacquiao, he’s still a welterweight and the last time I checked, Pacquiao was going after welterweights like Cotto and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Williams is arguably the best welterweight in the division and even Mayweather doesn’t seem the slightest bit interested in fighting him. But for all the people who think that Pacquiao is the best fighter in the world, then how come he isn’t trying to fight Paul Williams?

I’ll tell you why. Because if Pacquiao ever stepped foot in the same ring with Williams, Manny would in all likelihood would be battered around the ring like a rag muffin and literally toyed with by Williams. It’s so weird that everyone talks about how a fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao will determine who the best fighter in boxing is, but that’s a joke if you ask me.

It’s like a game of pretend. The only thing that a fight like that will prove is that the winner of that bout will be the number #2 fighter in the welterweight and wills that way until they get the courage to fight Williams. And you know what?

They won’t. I think it would be fair to say that the closest that Pacquiao will ever get to fighting Williams is if he gets ringside seat to watch one of his fights in the future, because he surely won’t be trying to fight him.

I’d like to see it, though, and would have a lot of respect for Pacquiao if he would ignore fights with Cotto, Valero, Mosley and Mayweather, and proceed straight into a fight with Williams. That would show me that Pacquiao was at least courageous enough to get in the ring so he could take his beating like a man.

But by looking towards lesser fighters, it just looks like Pacquiao is a cherry picker no different from a lot fighters. Williams is true class, unafraid to fight anyone at any weight and beat them. Now that is the fighter that should be the pound for pound number #1 fighter now Pacquiao, who was given a gift decision over Juan Manuel Marquez, and beat two shot fighters in Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton.

those are facts, and you answered with what..? another thing..

Henry fought like three dozen fighters w/ less than .750 percentage.

While more than 80% of Manny's opponents surpasses 0.750 winning mark.

wow..now ur exposing HEnry. so that explains why old timers have plenty of wins.

[miron_lang]

The winner of Mosley vs. Mayweather will be for the ring Championship.

Did you read that from an article? or just what you're hoping for?


Link pls if you have one.

You know nothing about boxing dude. You are a clown. Tell me how Pac compares to Henry.

LOL @ the ***** who keeps getting banned for his outrageous posts. Keep being the ***** poster-boy, burner

[Don Johnson]

This logic is so flawed man.

Isnt Pac fighting Clottey a guy who JUST lost to Cotto? A guy he Knocked out?


Why are you acting like Margarito didnt beat the **** out of Cotto? When he did that made Marg the man to beat.

Then Shane beat Marg.

cotto knocked out clottey? I'm pretty sure it was a HIGHLY controversial split decision.

[Talisayen]

I'm really surprise why you guys still discuss boxing with a bull****ter like Burner.

Burner is a joke and should not be taken seriously.
