Comments Thread For: Paul Williams Targets Shane Mosley For Welterweight Battle

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Williams was poorly handled. Once they dropped that strap at 147, they lost all their leverage. Now hes in limbo. Hes been beaten and outboxed a few times and has no belt or leverage. There is no incentive for the big names to fight him.

Hes 39 and ONE.

Hes a Top 10 P4Pounder by the Ring and basically Top 3 by everyone else. es an HBO fighter and a Haymon fighter. They will get him something.

Paul is at a disadvantage vs guys at 154 & 160? Does Goosen not know that a guy like Shane and most other welters are at a disadvantage vs a guy with a 82" wingspan!? I know boxing is done in pounds not inches but height and reach are real factors in the ring. Face it Goosen, the top welters are not fighting Paul; stop head-butting the brick wall and do somthing to really help this fighter. Like forget 147, and this yo-yo weight game you are playing. Take him to 160 where(IMO) he belongs and keep him there.
When the mind gets made up, the body gets the message. You want big fights? Beat Sergio Martinez for that strap then clean out the division, there are no shortcuts for Paul. It sounds good to be the 'most feared fighter' but that ain't putting no food on his table.

Try for the Martinez rematch first, if that doesn't happen a Mosley/Williams fight would be interesting....

I agree, and i wouldnt put it past Mosley to pull of the upset.

Its a win win for boxing no matter who wins.

Hes got one official loss. He may have got the decision against Martinez but looking at the way things are now, Sergio won.....in more ways than one.

P4P is mythical. It doesnt count as leverage. He has no fanbase, no drawing power, no more "fear" factor, no more belt.

If i was Goosen, i woulda had him staying at 147 with that WBO belt raking up mandos and forcing the big names out. Instead he tried to bite off more than he could chew hoping up weights and now hes in no mans land.

Paul should not have wasted his time going back down to 147lbs.

[spoonwars]

Williams should target Berto at 147 and Cotto at 154.

Makes sense for a Mosley fight since Mosley needs someone of Williams' caliber to spring him back up for another big fight. But it's up to Mosley if he still believes in himself as an elite fighter.

just because P williams can come down to 154 doesn't mean he should. I'm sick and tired of watching donaire fighting at the weight class where he stands 5inches taller than everyone in that class. the same feeling if P williams fights at 147.
