The “real” King Kong’s message in word and deed makes clear that the kingship in pound-for-pound ranking is not radically, scandalously exclusive. As we’ve seen right at the heart of boxing, we find this issue of
exclusion played out time and again.
Yes, tonight, “THE WEIGHT IS OVER” — the 12-Round Super Welterweight clash between Paul “The Punisher” Williams (38-1, 27 KOs) and Kermit “The Killer” Cintron (32-2-1, 28 KOs) to be held at The Home Depot Center Tennis Stadium in Carson, California, covets Manny Pacquiao’s command in boxing.
While Williams focuses on “The Killer”, his mind wonders about Pacquiao and Mayweather, whom he thinks as great prospects for his next fight.
“To claim the mythical pound-for-pound crown, both Pacquiao and Mayweather have to fight me,” says Williams. ” They need me more than they need each other, to establish prominence.”
Williams, 6’1″ at 28, believes he “could draw more boxing fans come the fight night if matched against either of the two.”
“I will give them both a good fight,” he adds.
