I am glad you can predict the future, but he is the reality of the situation. Professional Boxing is obviously a very competitive "industry". Every year, hundreds of fighters turn professional, and every year the people who were usually on top of the sport the previous year fall victim to new fighters that intend to take that fighters spot. The number of openings is always shrinking, and the number of candidates continues to grow every year.
What this means is, If you are on top You need to strike while your rod is hot.
And take advantage of every advantage you have, And do not take a cent less than what you are worth. Because at the end of the day, it is only you who is in the ring, and Boxing dont have social security or a health care plan to fall back on like other Professional sports leagues do.
So what they make now, is what they are going to have to live on when they are old. That is why risk vs. reward in boxing is so important.
Because boxing unlike other sports. Does not have a safety net.
So if Paul Williams can make the reward worth the risk... Then obviously
he would get the fight

However, I do think that there is only 1 that could possibly top it. Do you guys think that a Williams-Mayweather matchup has any chance of topping it in either hype or buys? Lets say that Williams beats Pavlik and collects all the belts at MW. Lets say that he looks great in doing it but still looks closer to a Jr. MW then he does a MW. Lets also say that Pac beats Cotto and Floyd beats Pac. Then Floyd beats Shane in his next fight and moves up to 154 for 1 fight against either Clottey, Spinks, or Martinez since the last 2 may be champs and solid tuneups for the Southpaw Williams.
What if after all that is done, Floyd says that he's really going to retire now after a record of 43-0 but wants 1 last fight against Williams at 154? Honestly, I wouldnt even be shocked if he said at MW, since Williams came from WW. It would definatly make it alot harder for Floyd to win but it would also give Floyd a legit title in 7 different divisions. I know inside of boxing we would go crazy for that fight but do you think the mainstream would and do you think it could break the Floyd-Pac record? I do. Williams still probably wont be a mainstream name if all that happeneds but after the mainstream see's clips of him, hears everyone sweating him as a freak, hears everyone saying that Floyd has no chance, and seeing how he towers over Floyd and shows no fear then I think everyone in the mainstream would jump all over that match even moreso than Pac-Floyd. What do you think?
