Arum: Pacquiao-Williams Under "Consideration"

[Left Hook Tua]

Wlliams would easily beat pac

i don't know about that.


i think he should win but whether we get a quintana 1 or quintana 2......who knows.

[MindBat]

I have a funny feeling it'll be at a catchweight again.

[Pullcounter]

Indeed.

bwahhaahahaha!!! that's what it would look like

[Khalid X]

I have a lot of confidence in Manny beating Williams at 147. At 154 I think Martinez beat Manny by atleast 2-3 rounds. I wish Martinez was smaller because there is no way Manny can compete at 154......dude is just too small for that weight class.

Although Williams on the outside has a clear advantage, Pacquiao on the inside could light Williams up in a terrible way. Williams is thin and isn't even a huge puncher at WW, more so a volume puncher. Williams isn't the quickest either.

147.

And at the people who think Williams losing somehow changes the fact that he has 8-9" height and 15" reach advantage over Manny. Williams-Martinez I was as close of a fight as you'll see, Paul got the decision but I'd say Sergio has had the better career since that point. Few people outside of the hardcore base knew who he was before that but he raised his profile by leaps and bounds and went on to win the lineal middleweight championship (against an Arum fighter, but probably only because that close loss made him damaged goods ). If it's another closely contested bout and neither guy is destroyed or KO'd, it helps both guys. But of course if Paul loses a close SD like Martinez and Clottey did, he'll automatically be a bum, past his prime, a slow plodder, weight drained, etc only when he signs on to fight Manny.

The only reason Williams wanted a CW for the Nov. fight was so he can make 147 easier for next Spring. He was at 162 with 30 days left before fight night and I'm thinking he's planning on weighing-in at 155ish, but wanted the 158 CW to make sure Sergio didn't outweigh him too significantly.

And I love how the Mayweather parrots are getting on Manny's/Arum's case for considering fighting Paul when their hero would retire again just at the thought. Roger already dismissed both Williams and Martinez because of lack of drawing power. Floyd and Paul are both Haymon fighters so that fight would be easy to put together, there would be no issues with negotiations because it would be an in-house fight more or less. But Floyd only fights undefeated fighters who are big draws and are in their prime, so Paul and Sergio don't fit the bill.

[$tate of Mind]

of course not Sergio. we all know pwil is abotu to get his ass whipped, so of course arum would say PWILL

Hit the nail right on the head my dude!

[IMDAZED]

So does that mean we can ignore this fight on November 13th? Phew!

[pistol whip]

of course not Sergio.

LOL they were only trying to make a fight with the slickest boxer of our generation but they would avoid Sergio because hes a slick boxer. Masterful logic! Do you also think 2+2=13?

[IronDanHamza]

I dont see the Williams fight happening and the Sergio won't happen because Manny is returning to 147. I see Cotto 2 as a possibility but even though Manny said hes going back to 147 i think the only way it sells more is if it were at 154 so they could con the fans and make them think its not going to be another demolition because its at 154.
