Golden Boy CEO, Richard Schaefer, is intrigued about the possibility of getting Paul Williams in the ring against one of his legendary fighters. Williams' manager, Dan Goosen, wants to get Williams back in the ring ASAP considering how he hasn't fought since April, and now Kelly Pavlik has indefinitely postponed their bout due to a hand injury.
Schaefer was asked if Shane Mosley could be pitted against Williams, but Schaefer doesn't think it's realistic for Williams to come down to 147, and Mosley wants to stay at that weight. However, Schaefer has other ideas. "I have one name in mind and that would be Bernard Hopkins", said the Golden Boy CEO. Hopkins can no longer physically go below 170, and Goosen has stated that Williams can go as high as 168. Schaefer says such a fight would need to be discussed with Hopkins to insure that he can still make 170, and then Goosen and Williams would have to decide if he can comfortably make it up to that weight.
Who knows what will happen. We have three top-ten pound-for-pound fighters all trying to figure out their next move.
