Im no PW (Paul Williams) hater as I happen to love his fighting style and find it very entertaining. But I was doing a little research about him and a trend caught my eye...
PW last 7 fighters faced:
Ronald wright : 5"10 72" reach
Verno Phillips : 5"7 1/2 69" reach
Andy Kolle: 6"1 ( reach was not provided)
Carlos Quintana: 5"9 1/2 72" reach
Antonio Margarito : 5"11 73" reach
Santos Pakau: 5"9 (reach also not provided)
Shamba Mitchell: 5"7 72" reach
So, in his last 7 fights PW is and average of 3.5 inches taller and has a reach advantage of 11.5 inches.which leads me to this question...
When will he fight a formidable oppenet his size? I sometimes see threads with people giving fighters like PBF for example **** for fighting people smaller than them. But ive personally never seen a thread accusing PW of picking fights with smaller fighters... You can even look at the people he is currently challenging.
Migul Cotto: 5"7 67" reach
Shane Mosley: 5"9 74" reach
Roy Jones jr: 5"11 74" reach
The person closest to his size happens to be damn near 40 and way past his prime.
Am i the only person who thinks PW should be trying to work his way up in wieght? Am i the only person that thinks before he is given the most feared title he should prove that can beat somone his size atleast in or near his prime?
I was under the impression the most praised fighters were those who worked thier way up and dominated fighters bigger than them... Have times changed?
