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

[ny123]

Williams ****s Berto up. Williams needs a comeback fight against a top 10 ww first and then this fight would make more sense.

[Blue Heffner]

Al Haymon would stop this from happening. Besides, Berto would price himself out. I'd rather see Berto fight Clottey or go ahead and give Collazo his rematch even though he's been inactive.

Paul is coming back from a devastating loss, I don't expect him to get into the ring with a 'Berto-caliber' fighter for at least a couple fights - that Martinez loss more than likely took the wind out of his sails and hit his confidence like a hurricane - there's also the point about his punch resistance fading; is he still able to fight with that style with a lesser chin? In previous fights he was able to take tremendous amounts of punishment and shots on the chin from Cintron, Martinez, Quintana, Margarito etc etc He absorbed that punishment before and kept pressing the action, is he still capable of doing that?


Therefore, if Williams will spend the next year or so trying to rebuild his career, Berto should be doing other things, and by that I mean, fighting higher quality opponents right away!

Berto is not Martinez Williams beats him easily.

No, he is not Martinez, but who's to say Williams' is still the same fighter before that loss to Martinez? We'll have to wait and see how that loss really effected him.

I think the fact that he thinks it was a lucky punch that stopped him shows that his confidence will still be intact. If Williams was going against a big puncher like Pavlik in his next fight i would have the same concern you are showing but againt Berto nah he beats the breaks off that hype job jrww killer.

[Danny Gunz]

Paul is gonna take a few easy fights before he steps up again.

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

But why do ya'll think this fight cant be made for April or May? I say to hell with a soft touch for Paul. He's been known to fight whoever, why change up and show folks otherwise. Duran fought Hearns right after Hagler. Why cant Paul miss a soft touch and go for the gusto right now?

This is dumb...very ****** idea...Williams is a 154 - 160 pounder and we saw what he was able to do when he made a weight that suits his physique...LMAO TIMBBEERRRRR

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?

I see it as a relevant fight, there are just a lot of factors that go against it in the boxing business.

I want to see it though.
