and that man is Paul Williams. Not only beat him but dominate him. Before people come in and claim he should fight at WW...consider this; Paul Williams walks around around 155-158. Every other WW in the division walks around higher than 160.
Too bad the fight will never happen. I just hope Paul will call him out and maybe floyd will take the bait.
actually rahman caught lewis with a punch and kod him i would say schooling someone for 12 rounds is harder to do than landing one hard punch and koing your oponent
Lewis would have lost anyway, he was running out of gas before he got caught. He just had an off night, because he didn't take Rahman seriously enough - same as Williams in the first fight with Quintana, same as Duran against Laing, same as Ray Robinson vs. Turpin.
no its because all the guys on his hit list are bigger draws than williams and you kno that
Williams is a much bigger draw than he was, now that he's beaten Wright; and Mosley isn't exactly a huge draw on his own either. Even before he beat Wright, Williams was a bigger draw than Mosley, based on the fact that Marg could have made nearly twice what he made against Mosley if he'd fought Williams instead. And Mosley IS on Mayweather's "hit list".
regarding williams-quitana......quitana clearly outboxed him and his style of moving and hooking gave williams real trouble.....williams would be the favorite against mayweather but it isnt impossible for mayweather to do the same.....as far as the rematch quitana stood in front of him, it takes a perfect fight to beat williams.....
That's fair, but Williams isn't on Mayweather's so-called "hit list", so he doesn't seem to have much confidence that he can win.
If Goosen would put a little bit more effort and capitol in PW instead of sob ass stories and complaints, this bout would happen. PW knows that PBF will be a mega bout for him but he has to dominate who they put in front of him, collect belts at the multiple divisions, and create that buzz!
Until then he and his ppl should STFU. I love PW but all this talking and no fighting is getting on my damn nerves. How hard is it to move up the rankings in these divisions. He has a decent promoter who could buy his way into the line so wats the damn problem. How did he get margie's belt, became the mandatory!
Come on PW you letting your fans down.
Paul Williams and Mayweather is never going to happen. Last week Williams was calling out Kessler, Froch and other SMWs. He's looking up with regards to weight, not down
You obviously can't read.:
After a dominating performance over Winky Wright, the once-beaten Paul “The Punisher” Williams has been aggressively hunting for a major name at middleweight, junior middleweight and welterweight ... Despite his best efforts, Goossen has been unsuccessful with enticing the big names, like Shane Mosley and Hopkins, to accept a fight with Williams ... “We aggressively went after Shane Mosley and Shane at this point of his career would rather stay idle," Goossen told BoxingScene.com ... "We have a lot of options. There are other fighters and champions out there, like Sergei Dzinziruk - the undefeated WBO champion from Germany. I’ve admired his aggressiveness in trying to land the fight. It would allow Paul to go down to a weight between where he recently fought and where he would like to fight ."
So do you suffer from a mental disorder that only lets you read the bits that back up your preconceived ideas and makes you incapable of reading anything that doesn't?
Didn't Paul Williams got outboxed by Quintana in their first fight??
Sugar Ray Robinson was beaten by Randolph Turpin in the first fight, does that make Turpin the better fighter? Do you rate Rahman and McCall higher than Lewis because of what happened in their first fights? How about Duran being outboxed by Kirkland Laing, do you rate Laing higher than Duran? Why do so many people apply double standards in the case of Williams? Everyone who has eyes knows Williams had an off-night in the first fight, but he destroyed Quintana conclusively in the rematch, end of story. And Quintana hasn't fought anyone since he got iced by Williams, except one pathetic journeyman who is ranked 293 at his weight by boxrec, and who even Jennings would beat easily, so he isn't even in the picture any more.
Paul williams is a different fighter at 147 than he is above that.he's healthier above.stop being so ****ing retarded.whYdon't you just say that chad dawson beats floyd? It makes as much sense.floyd fighting jmm is a bitch move, but you're ****ing retarded.
In Willliams' last fight at 147, which was less than a year ago, he iced Quintana in the first round. He hasn't done that to anyone at any higher weight, so you're right that he's a different fighter at 147 - a better fighter.
Dawson can't make 147, and has never even fought at that weight. Williams walks around at just over 150, which is lighter than most Welterweights do; he was fighting at 147 less than a year ago; and has been trying to make fights at 147 ever since, including as recently as last week; so your analogy is more than ridiculous.
All Tony had to do was DUMP his fake WBO belt..that would have made him Floyd's MANDITORY..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
What good would that have done him? Floyd didn't fight a single Welterweight after he won his title, mandatory or otherwise.
Williams, aint a WW anymore.
If he can make the weight, he's a Welterweight.
And if Quintana made him look like a fool, what makes you think that FLoyd cant do the same?
Rahman made Lewis look like a fool in their first fight but was destroyed in their rematch. No one claimed after that rematch that Rahman was better than Lewis. Why the double standards in the case of Williams, who destroyed Quintana even more conclusively in their rematch than Lewis destroyed Rahman?
I bet when he starts fighting the top dogs, he will lose a lot of fights.
The top dogs at Welter won't fight him. Marg was offered $4 million to fight him this year but chose to fight Mosley for $2.3 million instead. He tried to make a fight with Mosley after the Marg fight and Mosley said he didn't want to fight him "because he is too tall".
Williams is being overhype to be something he aint!!!!!!!!!
Maybe, but people with those views were mostly saying that Wright would beat Williams and they were wrong - despite the fact that Wright put on a good performance in that fight.
Nobody can whoop Floyd. Paul will getpop shot to death. May has always adjusted to those big guy easy. You would see PW punch stats go from 100 to 55 per round because he's gonna have to keep those hands up.
Funny that Williams isn't on Floyd's so-called hit list then, isn't it. He doesn't seem to have your confidence in himself.
Paul Williams and Mayweather is never going to happen. Last week Williams was calling out Kessler, Froch and other SMWs. He's looking up with regards to weight, not down
Williams would not beat Mayweather.
Williams workrate means nothing if you give him some lateral movement and counter him coming in. Mayweather is the best in the sport at it.
I'm still not convinced that Williams can handle a fighter who uses lateral movement and counters him coming in, Quintana was able to do it, in the rematch Williams didn't show much improvement for me to consider that he can handles guys who move well because it only lasted a round.
Alot of plp forget that Floyd used to fight at a 126 an went all the way up to 154lbs to fight the DLH so i dnt think his picking on JMM or pacman if they get to fight.But dnt get me wrong Jmm has never fought pass 135lbs so its kind of unfair but its not so in my books its a fair fight Jmm its a great boxer an should give Floyd a hell of a fight or pacman!!!!!!
and that man is Paul Williams. Not only beat him but dominate him. Before people come in and claim he should fight at WW...consider this; Paul Williams walks around around 155-158. Every other WW in the division walks around higher than 160.
Too bad the fight will never happen. I just hope Paul will call him out and maybe floyd will take the bait.
LOL Floyd wouldnt get in the same stadium as Paul Williams let alone the ring. But I feel Shane Cotto and Pacquiao have a shot to beat him given the proper weights and circumstances. I see Cotto beating Floyd at MSG at 147. I see Pacqiuiao beating Floyd at 142-143. I see Mosley as the most even fight too tough to call. I see Paul beating him at any weight
Duran? Duran? He was too wild. He would get Knocked out cold. Nobody in history beats Floyd at 135. Floyd knocks asses out at 135. Especially free swingers.
Did you say Floyd knocks Duran out at 135? And nobody could beat Floyd at 135? In my opinion there is no way that shit happens and Pernell Whitaker beats him at 135, 140, and/or 147.
