Goosen thinks Paul Williams should be Pacquiao’s next opponent, not Margarito
August 23rd, 2010
By Jason Kim: Promoter Dan Goosen bristles at what Top Rank promoter Bob Arum is doing by keeping his fights in house by matching his fighters in his stable against each other rather than looking outside of his small stable for bigger fights that are better for the sport of boxing. Goosen also doesn’t like the idea of Arum matching Manny Pacquiao against Antonio Margarito, because Margarito still doesn’t even have a boxing license after losing it a year ago when a plaster like material was found on his hand wraps before his fight with Shane Mosley.
However, this isn’t new to Arum. He took a lot of heat in March when the negotiations between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Pacquiao failed to result in an agreement. Instead of making the best of things by matching Pacquiao against the next available big star, Arum decided to put Pacquiao in with one of Arum’s fighters from his table Joshua Clottey. Arum still decided to put the fight on pay per view, despite Clottey not being a popular fighter with any real fan base in the United States. What resulted was a disappointing 700,000 PPV buys for the fight, which was half of the numbers that Floyd Mayweather received in his lopsided 12 round decision over Shane Mosley in May.
Mayweather-Mosley brought in 1.4 million buys for their fight. Had Arum matched Pacquiao up against a star instead of one of his least popular fighters from his stable, it would have likely sold at lead 1 million PPV buys instead of only 700,000. Now with Arum choosing the non-popular Margarito, another fighter in his table, as Pacquiao’s next opponent, we could be seeing the same identical numbers as the Pacquiao-Clottey fight.
Goosen had this to say about the chances of the Pacquiao-Margarito fight ending up outside the U.S.:
“How can he [Arum] take this fight against Margarito out of the country, like thieves in the night? Our sport needs to make the biggest and best fights possible, and without Mayweather, Paul Williams is the richest fight for Pacquiao that’s out there.” I agree with Goosen, but I also think Sergio Martinez is right up there with Paul Williams. But I also think Arum will never in this lifetime put Pacquiao in with those two fighters because he would probably lose. Williams and Martinez are better than Margarito and would be a huge problem for Pacquiao to deal with. I can see Pacquiao getting beaten up in both fights. Arum won’t take that chance to see the gravy train end like that. After Pacquiao beats Margarito, he’ll either fight a rematch with Top Rank fighter Miguel Cotto or possibly fight Mayweather. The Mayweather fight will depend on Pacquiao’s PPV numbers against Margarito.

And FYI – Sergio Martinez actually moved up to fight Kelly Pavlik at his best. He also fought the actual champion for the title & he didn’t ask for a catch weight either.
Martinez > Pacquiao
And now Williams & Martinez are fighting each other again while Pac & Margacheato are underservingly fighting for Martinez’s old title (which he never lost)…..and at a catchweight.
This is precisely what’s wrong with boxing. About Pacquiao stops hiding underneath Arum & acts like the #1 P4P fighter and fights the best Jr Middleweights…….Martinez & Williams. If not, don’t make a mockery of the sport that made you rich.
Pac fears Williams & Martinez. That’s why Pac is fighting Margacheato instead. Even though Williams & Martinez both called out Pac, are actually ranked & licensed, & agreed to taking the smaller purse.
Pac has become a cherry picker.
MAYWEATHER WILL BE 50 and 0 BY FIGHTING TUNE UP FIGHTS WITH LIGHTWEIGHTS. MAYWEATHER WILL BE THE FIRST BOXER IN HISTORY TO RETIRE AND COMEBACK NINE TIMES. LMAO!!!! DAMN I’M FUNNY!!!!
Pfack african-american nigers too
1. ku
2. kluXXx
3. kclan
Pfack nigers
I’m Filipino
Pfack nigers the N word offend south nigers
Hey african the mayweather fans
you are all jealous of Manny Pacquiao achievements…
get over it niger
Now why would Goosen think like that???? Oh that’s right, he promotes P. Williams JUST LIKE Oscar promotes JMM…….
All I got to say is in the words of Cheech & Chong:
“Keep on knockin, but you cayn’t come in!!!!!”
ummm..funny, my comments are gone and somebody is using my name…ahahaha
Jason Kim will say in the future to Pacquiao. Why he won’t fight the Klitcho brothers? This writer is total idiot.
Pac fight a younger, faster, in his prime fighter? LMFAO!!!! That’ll never happen.
He’ll stick to slow plodding has beens & never will be’s like Margacheato, Clottey, etc.
not a fair fight..no one should even mention Pacquiao vs Williams…Williams is to tall,not a good match up…Williams should fight in a heavier division what the f*** is he thinking fighting in this division..he would be better @ 165-170lbs…It’s more fit for his size
Why does everyone wants to fight Pacquiao? Williams is way too big for Pacquiao, so why not call on Mayweather?
Goosen is always the defender of coward Floyd Jr. He’s pushing PacMan to fight PWilliams while he never suggested coward and bigger Floyd Jr to fight PWilliams. Asslicker Goosen
@ Boxtop23
I said Pacquiao would stop Williams because, lets keep it real Martinez is not really a hard hitter but yet he managed to knock Williams down. And Williams keeps draining him self and shifting weights. Now I don’t want to excite these pactards, but it’s like when Roy jones came back down from fighting at Heavy to LightHeavy he got knocked out. All of those weight shifts take a toll on the body. And their both south paws also. At 147 I think Manny would stop him but at 154 I give it to Williams. That’s why Cotto left 140. He said his chin was becoming weak trying to make weight.

Webmaster and the people that run this site is garbage.
Good point Antonio, I would rather have someone else Pac down, anyone but Margaritto.
LOL SinisterRED@F.L.A
I wonder who hurt whos feeling first…
“You can answer that one, youve spend enough time defending Floyd.”
Alas, despite my homage to the Pacman, I feel it ordained that Margo will nail Pac to the canvas this year, this November and complete his journey of his own and his countrymen’s redemption…how just is that, the reign of the Mexicutioner brought to an end by the unjustly persecuted and still ostracized Mexican boxer. Everyone else, PW included, will be ancilliary footnotes to the grand history about to unfold. 24/7 cannot have a more compelling drama.
A simple test…
look at the number of postings, readings, fan interest on this very forum during floyd’s reign then look at the number of postings and fan interest after pacman beat ODL…this site owes pacman a lot of money for the interest pac had brought to the sport post odl fight as evident in the exponential rise in traffic, readership and postings to articles on this forum, despite the idiocy that prevail in most of the articles and writers as a whole.
Floyd doesn’t give a damn that his reign during the past years was commensurate with increasing fan’s frustration with boxing and the concurrent rise of MMA. The revival of boxing the past three years had been the wonder of the pacman and pbf could care less about the sport or the fan that his reintroduction and interjection would somehow stop that momentum and reverse the gain the sport had recently achieved.
The other extreme is when you have a chaotic atomistic system where fighters become their own promoters and god forbid if one of them becomes one of the best fighter, becomes a monopoly on his own terms, fights whenffever he wants, retire , load up on peds, then come back, and even not paying for sanctioning fees cuz he don’t wanna deal with any governing mandatory defense! The fan suffers because the sport is being held hostage to the whims, avarice, cowardice of some fighters, competition is limited, no name fighters struggle, big name fighters prene and pose with exagerrated income.
get em F.L.A…….he’s an equal opportunity critic….lol
Poor guy can’t get a hefty payday. Why won’t he fight the Klitschkos instead?
rule 1- no boxer will ever be higher than their promoter. Example, Floyd cannot pick and choose who he doesnt want to fight. If he has a problem with Arum, he has to solve his personal problem.
rule 2-you can fill in the rest
“The fight has done nothing for either of them. It was just a pay day as this fight with Margarito is yet Arum throws in a TITLE with a “catch” that validates exactly why Arum is BS.”
Very true, JMM fight did nothing for Floyd. I dont think Manny will get anything out of fighting Marga, except for respect that he beat a guy Mosley beat, and someone Floyd hasnt fought.
Boxing has been throwing all sorts of BS. There needs to be a rulebook for promoters to follow that is fair and balance.
So I guess Thomas “The Hit Man” Hearns is a punk too? He fought at welterweight,supper welterweight and he was 6’1″. A lot of you sound real stupid calling any professional boxer a coward. When was the last time any of you got into a fight? Most of you wouldn’t fight if someone walked up to you and slapped you. When was your last 8 week training camp. Furthermore if you knew anything about the sport there are a tone of fighters that walk around at much heavier weights then that fight at. Some of these guys walk around 20-40+ pounds heavier then their fighting weight. There are a handful of what you would call a throwback fighter that stay at or really close to fighting weight. On the other hand you have some smaller fighters that struggle to move up in weight. At the end of the day be a fan love the sport don’t hate the fighters look at the promoters. The promoters are the ones messing up the sport. Nobody wants to see fighters from the same stable fighting each-other. When you see that you know its a setup.
@ F.L.A.
“You can’t say “well others are doing it”…. Doesn’t work for the Congressman, FOTD, P4P #1 because It didn’t work when Floyd was P4P #1, so it definitely won’t start with someone who’s supposed to be setting examples and making the right decisions.”
It works that way when it’s anyone but Floyd Mayweather Jr. according to the “boxing fans” we tend to debate with on here.
Paul Williams would be a challenge and Top Rank can’t afford any challenges for Pacman until they know for sure the Mayweather fight is now or off.
good night be far, im outta here too.
good night all.
You can answer that one, youve spend enough time defending Floyd.
How is bloating up Marquez not jumping through hoops. Its oblivious to think a Marquez can compete in the Welterweight when he hasnt fought anyone in that division. To face him off with the P4P champ looks kind of suspicious.
If Floyd has all the saying, in your opinon, why doesnt he say anything about the Manny fiasco? If he wants teh fight it can be done with a snap of his finger. You are digging way too deep to be blaming Arum.
This biggest coward.. imo is Haye, its obvious he is hiding from the K brothers. Many will say its boxing politic he wants to make money a little longer. If he fights the K, then his career might just end and everyone will see how big of a fraud he has been all these years.
In boxing, there hasnt been many fighters who fight the best. Manny hasnt fougt Floyd, Floyd hasnt fought william or berto.
Its the same conversation every year.
It’s boxing, the same politic Floyd has been drinking, Manny is drinking to. To say that one is doing it without calling out the other side is like telling a lie. So you say Floyd is only fighting for money, so Hatton who was only relevent for his record, defeated no one that ranked highter than top 10, fought Floyd becaus of his popularity oversea.
I just couldnt get over how you would denounce Arum for picking fights, when Floyd has been doing the same.
Its boxing politic.
KALIWETE579
hearns was a tall welterweight as well, but if you want p will to put on weight why wont pac fight him at 154 since he wants that belt as well? or even a catch weight of 151
wouldnt that be a better fight for the fans than margarito?
that way p will could gain some weight as you suggested and go up from 147 to 151
QUISEY
you know i am on your team when it comes to floyd fans but what makes you think manny would knockout williams ? surely it cant be his record of late delahoya quit from fatigue, clottey was still standing, hatton was already dead, and cotto was damn near killed by margarito, probably with plaster
so talk to me let me know
@antonio
In all fairness Oscar is basically a newborn at the promotions game compared to Arum and I´m pretty sure he´s not pulling all the strings over there, they do have a CEO, Oscar is the face of Golden Boy and has plenty of input but he is not the CEO. For the amount of time Oscar has had Golden Boy and his record as a boxer as the fighter to make the most money of all time I wouldn´t say he´s doing a terrible job. In 10 more years Arum and King will be deceased or out of the game and hopefully the chokehold they had on the sport for so long will be gone with it.
Goldenboy sure didnt go through hoops to have one of their own (Marquez) jump two weight division to fight Floyd? You have nothing better to do than cheer for Floyd?
It’s all about money! Everybody want a piece of Pacman because of the money. But Paul Will should be ashamed of himself by trying to get get down weight and use his height advantage. Come on Lanky Guy, put some weight on and face boxers at the middle weight. Grow some balls instead of bullying midgets at Welter Weights.
You look stupid with your height and twig-like body. You almost look like malnourished africans back in the days……
By the way you have your facts all wrong. Baldo beat Judah. Judah had been calling out Floyd for years, but Floyd waited for the right time. After Judah was beat, then Floyd called him out for a fight. Its all about timing for Floyd. Baldi felt injustice because he was the champ, yet Floyd picked the lesser man to fight.
Even a legal scholar in Shumenov realize the limitation of being a fighter and promoter and left well enough alone and relegated to Goosen and co. to set up the fights. Goosen ain’t no genius, but at least he’s better than GBP…naw…TR is where it’s at…why u think PBF is courting King…why u think Pac and Roach jumped ship a few years ago (who was then already p4p having knocked off on repeated occassions the trio of Mexico’s legends.
Wake up people! If you all haven’t noticed pacquiao fans doesn’t really care much who he fights next. As long pacman is in view it’s all good.
The man has very few fights left in him. It if wasn’t for arum who flew half way around the world asking for one last favor, he is done.
Pacman has achieved alot. He has leaped over his set bounderies. It matters not now who arum sets him up with as long bob sets him free. Debt paid in full.
As a pacman fan, I would love to see pacman vs mayweather but who ever arum decides to pair him up with. It’s all good.
Pacman! Keep the dream alive!
actually, Hatton fought Manny. Its just Floyd who hasnt wondered outside his promotion.
I agree with some of what you wrote, I hope Manny fight those other guys in the future.
I think there is a promotion war going on. Goldenboy hasnt been allowing Floyd to fight any of Arum’s guy. So Arum has no where else to turn but to have his guys fight each other. Who ever is running Goldenboy will be in a deep hole when Floyd leave for Don King. Mosley is getting old, Marquez is on his way out, Hattan has retired, and it seems that theyve self destructing.
Margo was robbed vis a vis PW…admitedly a bit slow in the beginning of the fight due to PW unskilled volume pot shots, slap shots and pinging shots, despite such, the latter could not capitalize on the momentum. Margo came back strong, punished the punisher but robbed of a decision in the era of black political success (obama) and uproar against Mexican very legal and justified popular recovery of the southwest.
Slippery
you are an idiot.
Williams would Crush Pacquiao within 3 rounds. I want to see how the Crack Man would fare with Berto or Mosely.
These 2 deserve a fight more than Cheato. And both hold belts to boot!!!!
Who cares what Goosen thinks. Everyone else is asking, why is Paul William fighting smaller guys?
F.L.A, youve been saying that on every forum that Pac should take on guys like Williams. Why are now changing your story?
Just serve them facts, they have no clue what that is. They should realize that Pac is only on top because Floyd is on vacation. When he comes back, they’ll be like why isnt he fighting bigger guys. Same, same oh.
12 year old midet Filipino NOY NOYS at it again!
I have destroyed guys on here many times. Sometimes more than once. They think they know more boxing than I do, bunch of simpletons!
Dismissed!
These little fellas play silly games that are like 12 year olds. I respect boxing knowledge. Most Tards can’t go beyond Crack Man.
We should date discussions…BCM (Before Crack Man) and
ACM (After Crack Man) Before Crack Man Discussions would elminate 99% of the tards.
Okay bro, we need to stick together. There are way too many people on this site who hates black people and will go out of their ways to make us look bad.
too amusing lol.. what’s going on?
@F L A…Good man!
He did not beat Sergio. I know my fightcard like the back of my hand. You need to go back to school little boy and stop jacking off to my name.
Oh,yeah, same Martinez a young inexperienced malnourished because of poverty Margarito raped early on in his career. Margo moved on to bigger and better things while Martinez, nearing middle age, could not capitalize on the momentum against a severly inconsistent PW.
@Jamboner and florida playa/molester:
Ay mayn, if PW agree to come in to the ring at 154 and not rehydrate twenty pound overnight, I guarantee you Pacman would knock him clean out. Look what a has been like Martinez wuz able to do, knocking down PW in the first round with a slap shot.
How is Manny Pacquiao the big payday when he can’t get a big payday himself?
Well…I guess when you try to compare Crack Man money to Floyd Mayweather Jr. its kind of small…My bad!
I guess Manny does command more than Cheato, Garcia, and Lopez, and Mora.
Even at 700,000 ppv w clottey bob arum still makes more for himself as opposed to fighting a bigger star that aint in his stable!! Thats why he keeps feeding pac these garbage fights!!
Ok Paul Williams called out both Floyd and Manny after his fight with Cintron. And the reason no one calls out Floyd is because they know they’ll lose. Bradley said he thinks he can beat Pacquiao, but Mayweather he would have to wait. These boxers know the deal. They all think they can beat Pacquiao and get a big payday that’s why they calling him out. But I do believe both Floyd and Manny can beat Williams. Williams losted and got out boxed by Carlos Quintana. If williams lost to him he would get out boxed by Floyd very easyly. And if Martinez knocked Williams down, I believe Pacquiao can knock him out. But Williams is soft, he should be fighting in the super six or against Lucian Bute. Williams is garbage he just looks good fighting little fighters. He’ll get murdered in those Middleweight divisions. Why dosn’t he fight Pirog. Williams is a joke. IMO.
What’s really funny is Pacquiao is hyped up to be some sort of giant killer, which nothing could be further from the truth, because he has always had the size advantage in terms of weight. Yet he is conviently small when it comes to fighing guys who acually do have a size advantage. However I do agree that Paul is way too much for Manny to handle, eventhough they would be equal in weight. And furthermore how can anybody fault Williams or Goosen for not wanting a piece of one of the top fighters in the world right now?
wait for floyd to come back from shopping. i will guarantee you everyone will be calling. all road leads to the big mouth black guy, word dat.
fighters floyd will take
1) JMM II
2) Hatton II
3) Hatton’s brother
4) His baby’s mamma.
Any of those fights will beat out Manny’s ppv #, count on dat, word.
If you want PPV, call out Floyd! Oh wait he is still on vacation.
Dan Goosen is just looking to be RELEVANT…
…as he should…because I don’t think outside HC boxing fans people know “WHO HE IS”, or any of his fighters…
…Hey DANO…ask AL HAYMON to make the fight with FLOYD…
…should be PRETTY EASY, because HAYMON just has to talk to himself to make the negotiations…
…of course it WON’T HAPPEN, because he won’t RISK HIS FIGHTERS against each other…
…NOT BERTO vs. WILLIAMS…NOT FLOYD vs. BERTO…NOT WILLIAMS vs. FLOYD..etc…etc…
…all of a sudden, all these matches where TOP RANK FIGHTERS fight TOP RANK FIGHTERS isn’t so bad…lol…
…GOLDEN BOY vs. GOLDEN BOY fighters as well…
…they may be IN-HOUSE…but at least they FIGHT each other…
@Landcruiser, I’m with you a 100% that’s exactly why nobody is wasting time calling out Floyd.
Nah its should be Sergio “la Maravilla ” Martinez!!! he skooled williams and was the 154 WBC before they stripped him to give it to margarito!
haha I’m a fan of Pac but some of my fellow Pac fans get way too fired up
@SLIPPERY WHEN WET, YOU REALLY HAVE A WET LEAKING BRAIN!!! AND HOW DO YOU CALL YOUR FLOYDIE D U CKING WORTHY OPPONENTS??? YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU’RE SAYING!! STUPID IDIOT MORON!!!!!
Mayweather is shopping for a “player” in Don’s stable, seems like there’s no more in GBP’s. I’m telling you, expect Don will match May someone from his stable. Both of these guys will fool boxing fans again.
So wheres Mayweather? GOT SCARED??? Why their fight wont happen again? OH there was no negotiation…..ahahahah…BILLIONS OF EXCUSES!!!
FLOYDA RAT VS PACCAT WHO WILL WIN? THE RAT IS HIDING IN A HOLE.
much more better if Floyd will fight first either Paul Williams or Martinez and let Pacquiao fight the winner.How about that?
@Theodore…great excuse…You Pactards have a million of em!
PW is on the rise…too soon to get demolished and put into retirement by the Pacman.
Everyone deserves a second chance,but for Margarito to get a shot at Pac is just a shameful decision.I believe he will test Manny but he should have to work his way back up to a fight like that.It’s true fighters like Williams,Martinez and even Mosely at this stage of his career are far more deserving.
@Mr. Romero, just remember, anytime you oppose PACTARDS, they lose their minds!!!They call Floyd every nae in the book, but if you call that no talent, 1 dimensional, no defense, no head movement, cherry picking, old, slow forward plodding opponent picking midget a name, they go on the attack!
They are happy to see the midget fighting wheel chair ridden slow moving opponents and call that great! But they call someone like Mosely old because Floyd defeated him, but they fear him like the devil himself!
It’s Midget Logic…Don’t try to understand it!
@ROMERO SINCE YOUR A DIE HARD MAYWEATHER FANATIC, GO.. AND SUCK FLOYDIES A SS AND GIVE HIM YOUR F UCKI NG BEST BLOW JOB!!!! STUPID!!!
Pacmans not guna be rushing to face somebody with the height and reach advantages of a heavyweight is he. That would be STUPID.
And one thing id like to know is is all the “negative sentiment” towards Margarito coming from Americans? Cuz i just dont care, i dont like what he did or tried to do but hes been caught, got punished and served his time. Come on America give the lad another chance that chance would be there if it was an American boxer. Knock the moral highground stuff on the head now.
paul williams anorexic a** needs to eat something and fight the middleweights….y he aint sayin nothin bout sergio?…..he suppose to be the most feared, but looks sergio now has that title…even angulo dont want none of martinez
The reason Manny wont´t be fighting PWill is the same reason Floyd won´t be fighting him, dude is way too tall and long and in all fairness should be fighting above 160. Of course he wants Manny, he wants a nice payday but he should really be calling out Floyd. Floyd is sitting idle while Manny has a schedule fight.
Why is nobody calling out Floyd? I don´t get it. Manny has a schedule fight and Floyd has nothing planned yet everyone is calling out Manny and not Floyd, and if Floyd is the cash cow how come nobody wants the large cheese check that comes with that fight???
It’s just Paul Williams wanting some Pacman money…just like the rest.
I dont think Margarito is at fault here. When they revoke Marg license, they said “banned for a year”. Then why are they complaining about it? It’s more than a year now!!!!!! They should had said “Banned for Lifetime”.
The Commission could not even get their acts together too.
Of course Calif would not grant him a license, since the fith is not happening to that place anyway, they dont care!!
If Texas will grant Mag a license, SO WHAT!! Nevada did not even follow all 48 states to banned Xyloca1ne particularly in boxing so why should Texas be worried about it?
@roadkill, chill dude why you yellin? don’t be mad that everybody wants to fight Pac instead of Floyd. Floyd’s too busy bedazzling his iPod.
Pacquio has 67-inch reach.
Paul Williams has 82-inch reach. Heavyweights Vitali Klitschko has 80-inch reach while Wladimir Klitschko has 81-inch reach.
NOW I WANT ALL U PAC FANS THAT ARE COMPLAINING THAT PAUL WILLIAMS IS A GAINT AND IT WOULD NOT BE A FAIR FIGHT IF HE FAUGHT PAC TO REMEMBER THIS. PAC IS SUPPOSED TO BE P4P FIGHTER OF THE DECADE. OK NOW IF MAYWEATHER FIGHTS PAUL AND BEATS HIM YOU ALL SHUT THE FU#K UP WITH PAC BEING P4P AND FIGHTER OF THE DECADE. JUST REMEMBER YOU ALL COMPLAING THAT THE PAUL WILLIAMS PAC FIGHT WOULD BE UNFAIR!!!!!!!!!
PAC ARUM ROACH AND ALL HIS FANS ARE JOKES!!!!!!!
COME ON PAC FANS, MANNY IS P4P FIGHTER OF THE DECADE!!!!
Paul Williams is not a PPV draw! He should fight Martinez(who I thought won their fight)or Cintron who he looked like he was having trouble with.
NOW I WANT ALL U PAC FANS THAT ARE COMPLAINING THAT PAUL WILLIAMS IS A GAINT AND IT WOULD NOT BE A FAIR FIGHT IF HE FAUGHT PAC TO REMEMBER THIS. PAC IS SUPPOSED TO BE P4P FIGHTER OF THE DECADE. OK NOW IF MAYWEATHER FIGHTS PAUL AND BEATS HIM YOU ALL SHUT THE FU#K UP WITH PAC BEING P4P AND FIGHTER OF THE DECADE. JUST REMEMBER YOU ALL COMPLAING THAT THE PAUL WILLIAMS PAC FIGHT WOULD BE UNFAIR!!!!!!!!!
PAC ARUM ROACH AND ALL HIS FANS ARE JOKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just don’t add pacquiao’s name to match him up against other fighters that doesn’t fit his level. call out mayweather instead and maybe he will come out early from his vacation and decide to fight to save face from not fighting pacquiao. it is funny that all the mayweather fans are trying to suggest and line up opponents for pacquiao and not for their idol. that is a very clear IDIOCY, HYPOCRICY and most of a BONE MARROW DEEP HATRED. all of you need to wake up, wash your face and face the mirror so you can see clearly yourselves. you are all SHAM!
NOW I WANT ALL U PAC FANS THAT ARE COMPLAINING THAT PAUL WILLIAMS IS A GAINT AND IT WOULD NOT BE A FAIR FIGHT IF HE FAUGHT PAC TO REMEMBER THIS. PAC IS SUPPOSED TO BE P4P FIGHTER OF THE DECADE. OK NOW IF MAYWEATHER FIGHTS PAUL AND BEATS HIM YOU ALL SHUT THE FU#K UP WITH PAC BEING P4P AND FIGHTER OF THE DECADE. JUST REMEMBER YOU ALL COMPLAING THAT THE PAUL WILLIAMS PAC FIGHT WOULD BE UNFAIR!!!!!!!!!
PAC ARUM ROACH AND ALL HIS FANS ARE JOKES!!!!!!!
Everybody wants to fight Pacquiao. Only the coward Fraud Floyd won’t. Ha ha ha ha!
WTF..Paul Williams is HuUUGE…
I would rather see Pacquiao vs Berto
Oh my god! I’d not even read the part about Goosen criticising Arum for potentially taking the Pacquiao-Margarito fight out of the U.S. Given that neither fighter is American, does Goosen really have much of an argument? Money aside, there’s no concrete reason to have the fight in America at all. Oh, I see-it’s Jason Kim aka Manuel Perez, aka Chris Williams, aka Eric Thomas, aka Scott Gilfoid, aka William Mackay, aka Liam Santiago, aka…etc.
Would Williams fighting Pacquiao be all that different t,to, say Adamek fighting Duran?
I gotta agree with a lot of the guys posting here. Aside from the financial aspect, why doesn’t Williams go after bigger guys? There’s Mora, Foreman, Pavlik, Martinez, Chavez jr, Sturm, Pirog, Macklin, Barker, Cotto, Margarito & a whole stack of other guys who are either closer to Williams in height, or simply more natural at 154-160lb, or both.
If anything, Pacquiao represents a lose-lose situation for Williams. If he wins, he’s beaten a 5’6″/5’7″ former 106lb fighter-big deal. If he loses, well…he’s lost to the same guy-even worse. At over 6′ tall Williams should be looking to push himself, not fight little dudes.
As a last point: why is it that NOBODY is insisting Mayweather jr fights Williams, Martinez, etc, and all these guys are chasing Pacquiao?
like what happened to jmmarquez, arum will tell goosen to let williams fight the likes of vic darchinyan or jorge arce before he can fight pacquiao. no pain no gain goosen. but if you can wait your butt, wait till after pac takes care of margarito.
Why are all these CLOWNS trying to match Williams against Pacquiao??? MOFOs are always trying to get the upperhand like Mayweather. Mayweather won’t even fight Williams, but the clowns expects Pacquiao to fight Williams knowing how small Pacquiao is.
If Dan Goosen thinks Williams should be Manny next opponent instead of Margarito. Then I too thinks ,Williams should be the Klitschko brothers next opponent not Manny.Well Goosen what do you think?
This is ridiculous. Why not get Manny in with Klitschko? A guy 6’1″+ vs a guy that’s 5’6″ screams exhibition match.
p.williams wants to fight a midget with a 50-50 split, hey guys wake-up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why not pacquiao vs ward or klitschko. how much you guys want to a 5’6″ tall boxer. floyd gets credit for fighting little guys while pacquiao critizes for not fighting much bigger guys.
I agree with your post about the Arum’s inhouse. Its not good for boxing. But I don’t agree Pacquiao looses to your men, Williams and Martinez. How the hell did you know that?
Promoter Dan Goosenhis and JAson Kim are stupid people.
PAUL vs FLOYD is good. 3″ advantage of Paul is considerable.
FLOYD vs MANNY is also good. 2″ advantage of Floyd is OK.
PAUL vs MANNY is not good. 7″ advantage of Paul is a JOKE.
everybody wants to fight pacman.why?because it is once in a lifetime opportunity earn big be popular if they defeat him but why coward floyd is avoiding pacman,coz he dont have the guts,although pacman doesnt have any chance against him
Why not pit PAUL WILLIAMS 6’3″ with FLOYD MAYWEATHER 5’8″, atleast the height advantage of williams is less and it would give a very good match. Instead of picking a fight with the smaller guy MANNY PACQUIAO 5’6″, where williams has all but a huge advantage, this match sucks..
Common denominator, all three are excellent fighters, except for the height difference.
PAUL vs FLOYD is good. 3″ advantage of Paul is considerable.
FLOYD vs MANNY is also good. 2″ advantage of Floyd is OK.
PAUL vs MANNY is not good. 5″ advantage of Paul is a JOKE.
just wait all of you guys..after pacman dismantles margarito,he is going to fight either paul williams or martinez as his last fight..a good exit in his boxing career, win or lose..
why nobody asks mayweather to fight either nartinez or williams?
is this fight fair?
well of course goosen will want his boxer williams fight pacquiao. it is will be the greatest amount of money he will generate in his entire career. everybody is gunning on pacquiao simply because of the financial reward. if the heavyweight champions can reduce their weights significantly, they too would love to challenge pacquiao. but fighting a 6’1″ Williams with all the physical advantages by a 5’6″ pacquiao is just plain stupid. obviously, arum who has been in this business for a long time is not stupid like this writer jason kim.
Goosen and williams need to focus on Martinez.
please describe to me what proof there is of paq taking ped’s.
pac is a cheat and arum a fraud

Right on mate. I can’t imagine a a midget fighting a giant. The same midget who sent you’re idol to his mini retirement. After cleaning the sport of boxing.
PAUL WILLIAMS WILL WHOOP PACMAN ASS, tha steroid user only fights in-house, jus wait til floyd knock tha steroids out his ass then he will be back to reality
