Hey, Mayweather, why not Paul Williams?

[p4p-champ]

LoL, Floyd wont fight Paul Williams for the same reasons Pacman wont fight Paul Williams. Pretty lame article.

May as well write an article asking why Pacman won't Yuri Foreman or any other slick type of boxer.

Keep cherry pickin those slow moving come forward fighters.

Never...going...to...happen.

Hey Pac why not Foreman? Oh wait....

Weakest beltholder? No way.............how about a top contender?

Because it's a ****** ass fight. I always said, Paul Williams and Antonio Margarito were the WORST possible match ups for Floyd.

I also said, I don't blame Floyd for avoiding those two fighters because I would too.

Fighting a guy 6'+, has the reach of Ali, the workrate of a Flyweight, a granite chin, plateau of power, and can fight inside and outside. Is a guaranteed loss for Floyd.

I'm a Floyd fan and I am probably the only one that will admitt that Floyd would lose to PWill.

As a Floyd fan you should have more confidence in the man's abilities. He claims to be BETTER than Ali, Leonard and Robinson. LOL! Do you think any of those three would blatantly duck a reasonable challenge like Paul Williams?

Wasn't Paul Williams nearly schooled by Martinez? Wasn't Paul Williams ****d by Carlos Quintana at 147? It's a disgrace that anyone would implore the so called #1 guy at 147 to avoid a good, but not great fighter like Paul Williams.

Pacman faces the same type of adversity against J Clottey that Floyd would face against P Will.

Pac is a 140 fighter venturing at 147. He will fight Bradley, Devon and Nate at 140. Floyd would drag them up to 147.

At least he's cherry picking GOOD fighters though. Who is Floyd cherry picking? Matthew Hatton and Nate Campbell? Boxing fans would criticize Andre Berto for fighting those two. LMAOOO! This is sad.

if it ever happens,pbf schools him,hes to easy to hit and pbf would punish him,imo

Agree.

Paul Williams is very hittable. I think PW would give Floyd an uncomfortable night, but he could easily make him miss and make him pay, then get out of the way. I can certainly see him doing it enoough to win an 8-4 decision.

Let's be honest. If Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. stick to their guns and keep their next bouts both scheduled for March 13 after blowing the opportunity to make a mega-fight together that night, Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey is more appealing than a one-sided Mayweather showcase against either Paulie Malignaggi or Nate Campbell.

So, here's an unasked-for suggestion to Mayweather: Why not continue the game of one-upmanship with Pacquiao and make a more competitive fight than his by selecting Paul Williams as your next opponent?

"If we were asked, I'd go pick Paul up, and we'd be there as fast we could get there to sign the contract," Williams' promoter Dan Goossen told The Times.

The ever-punching Williams (38-1, 27 KOs) against the defensive wizard Mayweather would be a classic match-up. Williams, who last year posted middleweight victories over Winky Wright and Sergio Martinez, has fought as low as 147 pounds as recently as June 2008 and is an HBO fighter like "Money" so it would appear easy to facilitate.

Is Mayweather interested in Williams? His promoter, Richard Schaefer, was not immediately available for comment today, and neither was his advisor, Leonard Ellerbe.

Mayweather routinely questions the name recognition of opponents he doesn't want to fight, but how could he do that with Williams and then select either a Malignaggi or Campbell?

Mayweather-Williams makes sense, but, of course, as we've seen with the crumbled Mayweather-Pacquiao negotiations, that doesn't mean the fight gets made.

Too risky for floyd.... Pwill will punish him bad..Floyd is a coward.

how about Team pac said they didn't want it because of HEIGHT CONCERNS.

Too bad reality hits too close for you to take off your Pac goggles.

You missed the point yet again.
