    Here is an interview of Paul Williams:

    Paul Williams argues that at Floyd’s level, he calls his own shots and isn’t dictated to. He views Mayweather as a protected fighter who won’t take anything but a calculated risk, unlike his rival Manny Pacquiao.

    “If Floyd went to Al and said, ‘Hey, I want to fight Paul Williams, what can Al do?'” Williams asked the Examiner. “But Floyd is not going to ever say that. Pacquiao, he fights bigger guys, he’s different from Mayweather so maybe I will get to fight him. Floyd ranks himself with Ray Robinson, with Joe Louis, all these guys..but all those great guys, they all lost sometime. Mayweather won’t take a hard fight, he won’t take the chance of losing.

    “If Paul could fight about every months, he would become a real monster in boxing. Then the fans would see how sensational he really can be,” Peterson said. “I think Paul, at this…

      Let's see here he retired and refused to fight Margarito when Arum tried to make that fight. Then turned around and bought Arum out of his contract to make sure that fight never happened.

        Arum is to blame for the Margo fight not happening as he wanted Floyd to sign an extension for that fight..And when was he suppose to fight Williams?? Should he had fought him instead of oscar??? or Hatton?? article was written in 2010..Should he have faced Williams instead of p4p# Shane who people claimed he would not fight as well?

              Bottom line is it takes a special kind of idiot to even try to compare the accomplishments of Joshua with those of Mayweather at the same age.

              Floyd had belts in 3 different weight classes, two of them lineal titles as well, and had defended two of those belts a total of a dozen times.

              He was already HOF material by that age.

                    I learned a new word today: dosser.

                    And Tyson is right...Hearn does try to treat other fighters like dossers.

                      It's been an long time since I scored the fight but i had JLC winning 7-5. No knockdowns. Floyd just got flat out hustled. At the very least it was a draw and if I remember correctly, Lederman had Castillo winning and Dan Rafeal had it a draw.
