Does Paul Williams Deserve To Be On The Pound For Pound Top 10 List?

LOL @ "Cotto should be replaced by Vic or PWill"..That's BLASPHEMY!.. Paul Williams hasn't fought many top dogs..but still holds a W over the #1 WW...I think that and the fact that he avenged his only L against another top 10 WW in Quintana he sure as hell can be tippin the 10th spot! I'm not denying that Cotto isn't a top fighter, he is obviously, but does it really make sense to rank him above Paul Williams in a pound for pound list when Williams is ranked above him in the welterweight ratings? Vic got a very great win over Cristian Mijares and belongs on that list. Maybe not replacing Cotto, but he needs to be on there. Maybe over Calderon or Marquez, but even then I think you have a better chance of aruging that Cotto could be taken off then those two.

I can see if he dominated Margaroto or KOd him but he didnt it was a close fight not the kind of win to make anyone take notice. It wasnt until Marg proved himself and earned his shot at Cotto then people said oh heck Williams is the best! It doesnt work like that look at Pavlik/Taylor/Hopkins. Yeah no one clearly took notice of Paul Williams. Is that why he's one of the big hype machines right now? I think he's the best fighter at 147, but calling him the best through 168 is ****ing crazy. Here's another question, how did Margarito earn his shot against Cotto? Beating Golden Johnson? Check. Beating a man who he had already crushed 3 years earlier? Check. Williams-Margarito was close, but that doesn't change the fact that Williams still won. I'm not saying that Williams would beat Cotto, but when ranking them, you have to rank Williams over Cotto. It's weird to have him over Cotto in the welterweight rankings, but not a p4p ranking.

NO, I'd put Dawson instead. He's good but his achievements are not enough.

but when he fought marg, marg wasn't even ranked...it was only after marg fought cotto that he became ranked Yeah...so Margarito destroying a top ranked fighter showed how good he was. Paul Williams beat Margarito desecively. Would you not say that Margarito doesn't deserved to be ranked? Cotto has good wins over people, but he lost to Margarito. When Cotto, one of the best fighters in the sport, lost to Margarito, margarito becomes one of the best fighters in the sport. Williams had just beaten Margarito like a year earlier, so is Williams not one of the best fighters in the sport. Plus he avenged his only defeat by a crushing 1st round knockout. I don't like Williams much and his big weakness is movers (as demonstrated by Quintana), but I think the decision can be justified. I would have put Darchinyan in, but whatever.

but when he fought marg, marg wasn't even ranked...it was only after marg fought cotto that he became ranked exactly, Margarito wasnt on the list at the time if Cotto had beaten Margarito i dont think Williams would be on the list now

Except beating Antonio Margarito, who is ranked 6. Yeah he hasn't done shit :ugh: I can see if he dominated Margaroto or KOd him but he didnt it was a close fight not the kind of win to make anyone take notice. It wasnt until Marg proved himself and earned his shot at Cotto then people said oh heck Williams is the best! It doesnt work like that look at Pavlik/Taylor/Hopkins.

Except beating Antonio Margarito, who is ranked 6. Yeah he hasn't done shit :ugh: but when he fought marg, marg wasn't even ranked...it was only after marg fought cotto that he became ranked

Nope, he lost to Carlos Quitana, end of story.

No he hasnt done anything significant. Except beating Antonio Margarito, who is ranked 6. Yeah he hasn't done shit :ugh:

even though Cotto lost his last fight i would probably keep him in there towards the end he has alot of good victories

Yeah. It's crazy to have Cotto ahead of him on there though. It makes no ****ing sense. I'd take Cotto off and then put Darchinyan in and Williams. Cotto has fought top opposition and won, in other words he earned it.

not now...maybe next year

Yeah. It's crazy to have Cotto ahead of him on there though. It makes no ****ing sense. I'd take Cotto off and then put Darchinyan in and Williams.

No he hasnt done anything significant.
