By Robert Morales - It was Wednesday afternoon, and Paul Williams had just finished a training session near his home in South Carolina. About 10 minutes into a telephone conversation, Williams was asked what would happen if he fought Manny Pacquiao.
"A fight with me and Pacquiao, it would be a good fight for three or four rounds, then I would put him on his head," Willliams said to BoxingScene.com. "That is not me being ****y, just being confident in myself. I'm just going to take him right out of there. As soon as they put the gloves on him, they will take them off.
"No disrespect to Pacquiao and his trainer, Freddie Roach. I like them. But if they get in that water, I'm going to blow them right out of it."
For now, it's all just a dream. With Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr. apparently dead again, Pacquiao seems headed for a fight with Antonio Margarito. If an accord isn't reached for that fight, Pacquiao most likely will do a rematch with Miguel Cotto.
According to Bob Arum - who promotes Pacquiao, Margarito and Cotto - Williams hasn't been promoted properly and isn't enough of a household name; therefore, he can't generate enough pay-per-view buys for a fight with Pacquiao, who has a hefty minimum guarantee. [Click Here To Read More]
