What's next for Paul Williams

We all know 147-154 is not for PW.........Should he put a couple of 160 under his belt before he move up to 168??

logical choice is Martinez rematch

but Goossen is supposedly set on a fight at 147 fucking moron!

He's in a bad spot. Ever since he punched Cintron right out of the ring I don't think there is a single fighter out there willing to get in the ring with him.


On a serious note. I like to see him in a rematch with Martinez.

I think PW and Goosen needs to come to a realization that floyd and PAC is not going to get in the ring with PW. 168 is the next best move for PW. We all know PW can compete in the higher division.

Looks like Martinez is bent on fighting PBF is the PAC negotiations fall apart. Paul Williams did say if Martinez wants him, its a done deal

i'd like to see the rematch w/ martinez because of the controversy in the first one

A rematch with Martinez at 154 or 160 is the fight that makes sense for both guys. Biggest money fight either guy will get. First fight was inconclusive to say the least (I thought Martinez should have won).

I don't recall the exact particulars (and am too lazy to look right now) but I don't believe PW weighed 168 the night of the fight with Martinez (after weighing in the day before at 157). How is he going to beat guys who weigh in at 168 and weigh 182 on fight night??

If PW was an elusive fighter I'd say the size difference doesn't mean much, but he is there to be hit. Margarito tagged him, Martinez tagged him, Cintron landed cleanly. What happens when a guy who has fought at 168 and 175 (as some of the 168 pound guys started their careers around 175) tags him cleanly??? I would bet my house he goes to sleep.

Williams should have lost his last two decisions IMO.

I just can't figure out Williams. This "able to fight from 147 to 160" shtick is bogus. The only fights above 147 are Martinez and Pavlik. And Pavlik says he's done at 160. That leaves him Martinez from 154 to 160. I'd be calling out the small guys too.

If PW plans are to stay at bay around 154 in order to get a 147. He is wasting his time, personally the best fight for PW @ 154 is Martinez, Margo or Angullo.......If he can get thru those two fighters MOVE on UP..........

move on up to where??? He hasn't even hit the weight limit for 160 yet. When you are 3 pounds below a weight limit at weigh in, it normally signifies that you don't need to move up.

Your right but his options are limited at 147. @ 154 he has many options......Martinez (rematch) Margo (rematch) or Angullo.......Maybe Cotto?

Just stay in one fucking division, I don't care where and fight everyone in that division. Middleweight, Jr Middleweight or Welterweight. This fucking guy is an asshole. He claims to be able to fight across four divisions but can't ever seem to get a fight? Bullshit. Just accept the fact that no one wants to see you fight and fight everyone else or pick a new career. This guy should fight four times a year instead of waiting around trying to secure a major fights.

Paul needs to stay at Jr Middleweight, he should look to face Sergei D or Alfredo Angulo .

If I'm in Williams team

List of fights to try and make
-Martinez rematch for the MW Crown
-Cintron rematch to keep busy BUT in DC or Georgia
-Margarito rematch in So Cal or Texas
-Angulo in So Cal
-Cotto/Foreman winner in AC
-Chavez Jr, go to Mexico for the payday and end this fraud

Goossen and Haymon are idiots for trying to continue to make fights for him at welterweight, just a joke

Alot of foolish young boxers today think they're going to land a Pacquiao or Mayweather payday.

Whats funny is that they have the same manager, Haymon, so Im sure he's spitting BS in Williams ear that it could happen

Paul needs to set up a Martinez rematch, there's really not much out there for him, unless he moves up to 168. I don't know if he could handle 168, imagine seeing Bute vs Williams? Actually that would be a damn good fight!

Super Middleweight would be a big ask of Williams, we didn't even get to see how he'd handle Kelly Pavlik, and frankly I am not convinced Paul could beat Kelly.

Ali imagine Bute vs Williams!

I don't think Paul would last long, Bute is a Light Heavyweight who cuts down to 168lb.

That's true, but remember Paul said he wants any from 147-168, so I think Bute should give him a chance, if not, Bute is clearly ducking Paul! LOL!

Everybody is ducking Paul Williams, even Vitali Klitschko

I hope a sequel to this wonderful song.
