      The highlights alone sell that fight...

      Williams needs to understand that he just isn't going to get the big money fights at welterweight.

      Floyd or Pac will not even kind of, sort of, in a way, whatsoever even give the slightest idea of considering him as an opponent.

      DiBella has made it clear that he won't put Berto in with him either.

      Cotto is at 154 now, and Margarito looks like he will head up the Pac sweepstakes.

      HBO said they aren't interested in Angulo, and I can't see Arum putting Cotto in there with him, being Arum has made numerous comments about Williams inability to sell.

      If HBO is willing to pay Williams good money for a rematch with Martinez for the MW crown.

      Goddamnit, take it!

          Greenburg pops up.

          if he's able to make a comment about Martinez- Williams fight, I would hope he opens his mouth about the craziness that is Arum and Ellerbe.

            If Williams doesn't accept that rematch I hope he falls out of favor at HBO for his and Goosen's ******ity.

                Also, if Pavlik decides to stay and fight Chavez Jr.

                Winner faces winner.

                We might get the Pavlik - Williams fight we missed out on... which would be epic IMO.

                  PW better take this fight.

                  This could the worst career choice ever if he dosen't take this fight.

                    Im hoping the rematch will be in Atlantic City

                    I missed the Pavlick vs Martinez fight, but if the rematch between Martinez and Williams is in Atlantic City, then I will definitely be there for that!
