Williams Just Keeping it Real
Paul ?The Punisher? Williams is known as one of the most avoided fighters in the business. A lot of it has to do with his height (he?s 6-foot-2) and his punch output (close to 100 punches a round).
To try to get fights, Williams goes to any of three weight divisions ? welterweight, junior middleweight and middleweight.
During a conference call with the media on Monday, prior to his fight on Saturday against Kermit Cintron (on HBO), here are some of his thoughts:
On which division he is more comfortable in fighting:
?They?re all comfortable to me,? he said. ?The weight don?t matter to me. I?m comfortable when I get a fight.?
?I like what I?m doing, going to different weights,? he said. ?If a guy says he?s the best, then I?m there.?
On getting a shot at Floyd Mayweather or Pacquiao:
?I?m just going to go out and do my thing,? he said. ?Every time they fight, they don?t mention my name. They know I?m a threat?
?To me it?s like a fantasy,? he said of getting a fight with Mayweather or Pacquiao. ?But I don?t want to live in the fantasy world.?
