Berto vs. Williams. Should this fight be made????

[Scott9945]

When are people going to learn that Paul Haymon fighters NEVER fight each other? It's just not going to happen.

Williams is too much of a threat to Berto, so this won't happen any time soon. It would be great to see Berto fight bigger threats, but he's gonna be milked a while longer against weak opposition.

I feel ya iBB. But we see that we jumped up and damn it down for Bradley/Alexander, and HBO gave it to us on a silver platter. I think we should start hollerin for this fight, we might get it.

Do you see it as a relavent fight?

You dont think it would bring some much needed excitement to the WW division? I think it can help revive the division while we wait for the 140lbers to move up. Manny and Floyd have this division held hostage right now, and the 140's aint ready to move in just yet. Cintron appearently is back at 147, Mike Jones has to get through Karass and then he'll make back the buzz he had before the 1st fight. With Paul back some life could be pumped into the division. IMHO.

I'm not even convinced Williams can still make 147.

berto would never ever take this fight

Who's Paul Haymon?

Why? He was just at 156 wasnt he? Your talkin bout less than 10 lbs to get down to 147.

Whats happenin Panda homie?????? I think if HBO forces this fight Berto has no choice but to take it. HBO will get Suliman(sp) involved, and we all know Suli likes to snatch belts at will. I really think this fight can be made.

10lbs is more than a whole weight class. That's not easy to lose.

I agree it's not easy. But they've been sayin he's most comfy at 147. I dont see no reason not to believe them on that. What better way to prove it to folks than to make the weight for a championship bout?

Paul gets to prove that he really is a WW, and Andre gets to fight at the WW limit with NO catch-weight. It's a win-win for all involved.

Fair enough. If Paul Williams fights at 147 and proves he can make it comfortably, and called out Berto, I agree Berto would be inclined to fight him. However, like Scott said, Al Haymon fighters don't fight each other. HBO would have to push for it hard to get any chance of it happening.
