Paul Williams May Direct His Attention To Sergei Dzinziruk

After a dominating performance over Winky Wright, the once-beaten Paul “The Punisher” Williams has been aggressively hunting for a major name at middleweight, junior middleweight and welterweight. The buck didn’t stop there. Williams’ promoter Dan Goossen was actually trying to get Williams in the ring with Bernard Hopkins, a light heavyweight.

Despite his best efforts, Goossen has been unsuccessful with enticing the big names, like Shane Mosley and Hopkins, to accept a fight with Williams.

“We aggressively went after Shane Mosley and Shane at this point of his career would rather stay idle. I can’t say anything negative about Shane because he never turned down a challenge, even when it wasn’t in his best interest like the fight with Winky Wright,” Goossen told BoxingScene.com

“I think money and all of the other good things that come with that will not make Shane take a challenge like Paul Williams. Who can blame him? Paul is welterweight but is so much bigger and stronger than the other welterweights - and that makes it so much more difficult to get him a fight.”

“Bernard Hopkins is surprisingly silent. Like Mosley, at this stage of his career Bernard would rather have a lot more control over what could be considered his last fight. Paul is a tough nut even for a much bigger man to crack. We are certainly willing to put our welterweight in with the bigger Bernard Hopkins.”

Williams is still the interim-WBO junior middleweight champion. The natural fight to make would come against the full champion, undefeated Sergei Dzinziruk. Williams has called for Dzinziruk, and the Ukrainian-born fighter has answered that call. The dollar signs will decide if the fight can actually come together.

“We have a lot of options. There are other fighters and champions out there, like Sergei Dzinziruk - the undefeated WBO champion from Germany. I’ve admired his aggressiveness in trying to land the fight. It would allow Paul to go down to a weight between where he recently fought [middleweight] and where he would like to fight [welterweight]. We have other options out there. Hopefully we will have something settled in the next week or so,” Goossen said.

“I feel that pretty soon we are going to have an announcement. It’s a blessing to have someone who is so feared, but as the great Joe Louis said – ‘you can run but you can’t hide.’ That will always allow us to go out there and match him with someone who will certainly be a significant fight.”




HBO turned the fight down. So dont speak on what you dont know.

End Thread. I was wondering if anyone was paying attention to a possible Paul/Sergie fight just a short year ago. Either not many knew about what you posted Burner or they convienently forgot!!!

HBO turned it down. Am I typing in white?

He hates Paul Williams almost as much as he does Juan Ma Lopez, and I don't know why. Williams has proven that he's willing to go into a hostile environment to beat his idle Margarito. Why would he be afraid to go to Germany if the buck was right?

And yeah, HBO is the only network that matters when you already have a bond with them. Why do you think Dawson and Bute can't fight on another network? Some people just talk out of their ass because they are blind with hate.

I don't think it /thread. Yes Burner is correct. But, that was not really the point of the thread. This tread is a whole different debate. One poster just didn't know what the hell he was talking about.

Dawson fought on Showtime 3 fights ago vs. Tarver I.

Bute fought on Showtime 3 fights ago as well vs. Andrade I.

So who at 154 beats Dzinziruk?

Bute, Dawson, and Williams all have a contract with HBO at the moment.

The last quote from Paul on fighting Dzinzurek was that he (Dzinzurek) just needs one fight and then pwill will fight him.

I have no doubt that pwill would take that fight, can he win it is a different question.

I think Paul overwhelms.

Williams, Martinez and Floyd. That's it and none of them easily.

i agree with jeffries.

one thing I will say about dzinzurek. he's cool as a cucumber in the ring. i just don't know what he would have to do if he needs to bring a different style.

he puts it on angulo, angulo's team knows it too.
