All hate for both fighters aside: Williams-Mayweather is a SUPER fight.

    WWs, physically he is really more of a JMW I mean he came in a MW fight where both he and Martinez weighed 166 on FN.

    I guess he isn't breaking any rules technically but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

      Paul is just not going to be a draw. Ever. The BEST he can do is be what Shane Mosley is....a fairly big name that doesn't put asses in the seats but could be a decent B-Side.

      And it'd be even tougher for Paul, cause he doesn't have a DLH to build that name off of.

      Goosen did him a big disservice not putting on cards in the southeast. Having a regional fan base is better then having no fanbase. Andre Ward is packing out arenas in Oakland and making good money.

        Berto, Cotto and Clottey have weighed that for WW fights before. Williams is a very skinny dude he said he feels best at WW.

            Clottey is another one of these guys who should move up, but as far as I know Cotto has not ever been heavier on FN than 159, IDK about Berto for sure.....still if he can come in on FN at 166 for a fight a day after a weigh in and weeks after a training camp I would find it hard to believe he walks around at less than 170.

            Other than Sergio everyone at 154 is easy picking and other than KP everyone at 160 should be an easy win for him too.

              Not bad considering Shane is fighting Floyd. There are alot of fighters without big fanbases. Williams gained alot of fans with his war with Martinez thats for sure.

                Now the problem is just getting guy to sign the contract. The fact that Cintron still hasnt signed is crazy.

                  Yeah, if Cintron doesn't it looks like a duck to me but how confident could he been getting in the ring with a guy who beat Marg at his own game when that same game plan made Cintron fold up twice and cry?

                      Thats a good point. I figured his performance against Angulo would give him a sense of false hope and hed sign. So far Im wrong.
