Reports of Ricardo Williams' return to prominence proved to be premature. Although he posted a win in his home state of Ohio earlier this month, Olympic silver medalist Ricardo Williams won't be fighting on HBO or any other network anytime soon because the Associated Press reported Williams was sentenced to three years in jail for conspiracy to deal cocaine. Williams, who could've gotten ten years, is still only 23, so he will still be a young man when he gets out, and he said he plans to return to boxing after he does his time. Williams got a huge signing bonus when he turned pro, and his decision to get involved in drugs after he already made some big money has to be regarded as a really dumb move and a huge waste of talent --Scott Shaffer
