So why not Beat all of these other guys that are more than willing to face him. Doing so will lead to him being the man at 154 and there will be no excuses for people to avoid him. I just hate a few of his comments, such as Clotty is a loser so why face him, or Kirkland is ___ so why fight them. That is the attitude paul is displaying that my post is addressing.
    Berto didn't want none and opt to move down to Jr WW true story and I ain't making this up. HBO didn't put enough for Clottey vs. Paul, wasn't gonna go down. Cintron already ducked him, I still remember this. Clottey was willing and I respect that, too bad.

      Kirkland is in jail. And when he wasn't, he wasn't a better option than Winky Wright. Or Kelly Pavlik. What other guys are you referring to? Sergio Martinez? They may meet in December--and to think that was Williams' BACKUP plan. Who else is there?

        paul has nothing else to prove...he beat out margo...did verno in for the long run...ko'ed quintana...running through them and then beating the **** out of winky for 12 rounds earns him a spot to fight whoever at the top to me...

          I'm not sure. IMO, he just needs a megafight to be more appreciated. Me, I was hoping he took the Clottey fight and make Clottey look bad. That would make the entire WW notice him ( sigh .. or avoid him ). But to be honest, he should stop worrying of having megafight. It will come as long as he does not stop handling out quality wins.

            Not a big fight? Now you don't know shyt about boxing. Corrales-Mayweather was a hardcore fans big fight. 2 unbeaten champs!? Counting the attendance to determine a big fight made you seem very casual pal.

              Yes it was a hardcore fans big fight. I know, I dreamt about it before it happened. All the time. Was it a big fight speaking more generally? No. And that's what I was referring to.

                What I dont get is how he constantly bitches about no one wanting to fight him then when Clottey says "lets fight", he turns his nose up at it.

                    Truest thread ive read in a while. paul needs to stfu and fight some contenders, and earn a big fight. he should stop ducking clottey and fight him. clottey is a top 5 ww and paul aint even in the top ten.

                      That is funny, if anyone would have told me back then that Floyd would be this huge star I would have laughed at them. He was a sweet fighter but back then no one except hardcore fans knew who Floyd was and he was considered a secret to those who really knew the sport (how times change).

                      It is a good way to tell who was watching the sport at that point though.
