Promoter Dan Goossen told the Los Angeles Times that Paul Williams is ready and able to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. on March 13 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Mayweather has yet to pick an opponent for the fight. Kermit Cintron, Paulie Malignaggi, Carlos Quintana and Nate Campbell have all been mentioned as possibilities.

"If we were asked, I’d pick Paul up, and we’d be there as fast as we could get there to sign the contract,” Goossen said.

Williams' 6'3 frame and high workrate would present a lot of problems for Mayweather but there are political reasons that would prevent this fight from taking place. Manager/adviser Al Haymon guides the careers of both fighters. It's not likely for Haymon to match two of the best fighters in his stable against each other. That won't happen.
