Williams NOT OVERRATED-MARTINEZ IS THAT GOOD

Your right. I still would pick Williams to beat someone like Floyd. The perfect example is look at his workrate. No way in hell could Floyd pull a Martinez and fight back enough in those openings because Williams doesn't even give you a chance to. I think Martinez had a better chance to beat Paul than Floyd ever would. Also most fighters out there can't keep up with Paul's punchrate. Williams just found a pretty good match in Martinez. He's not overrated at all.

Exactly! But want to hate on PW when he won. I think all the hate and ill-fated comments come from the view that Paul was being hyped up so much by his fans. So when he didnt "blow through" Martinez the idiots started saying he was exposed. They should realize that Martinez is just that good but Williams overcame him and pulled out the decision.

martinez is a very good fighter and should have gotten the dec but p williams chin and workrate kept him in the fight and i wouldnt call it a robbery it was a close fight between 2 top fighters who both wouldnt give in. williams proved to me that his chin and stamina would give anyfighter problems but his lack of defense will catch up to him again and lets not act like only martinez has showed these flaws in williams quintana tagged him at will also Excellent point. This fight in my mind is FIGHT OF THE YEAR! You had two of the more exciting fighters going at it. I think the decision could have gone either way and either way both of them deserved it. I hope they get a rematch. I am a fan of Paul Williams...but people got to recognize that Martinez is a bad ass dude too! P-will is the real deal...and Martinez is also the real deal. Either guy can give any elite fighter a hard time.

It's tough to look good against an excellent and elusive fighter like Sergio Martinez. Despite what we might think about the scoring, Paul deserves credit for the win against such a quality fighter. I think Williams's victory against Sergio is a notch on his belt.

Thank u 4 this thread martinez and williams both were avoided by big names.everybody forgets that the late vernon forrest was stripped of his title for avoiding martinez for years .williams should more credit for beating and even stepping in the ring with tough fighters like margarito (palstered)winky and martinez , fighters that no one wants to fight ,he climbing the ranks the hard way

some people overlooked sergio and overhype william to run thru sergio. paul had some of the same problem he had in quintana fight last night. that was a great fight though

still doesnt change my prediction about Williams vs Pavlik....Pavlik by KO in mid rds Yes Sergio is the real deal and deserves a rematch and/or another high-profile fight...I had it a draw

Co-sign,Martinez is a beast & I respect him more than I used to!!

I agree with you. Sergio is just that good, in fact if he and Margarito would fight now Sergio would knock that azz out.

They aren't real boxing fans if they said Williams has been exposed. Obviously they don't know how good Sergio Martinez really is because they don't follow boxing. Williams beat a very good and super skilled Martinez and Williams showed that he has a ton of heart and very good chin and keeps coming and coming even when things get hairy.

pwill won a close fight to me but people are stupid that say he was expose martinez is damn good he would beat cotto, clottey, pac, marquez he was very skilled and his hand speed was crazy. people think cause he got a late start he was no good but when u have handspeed like that it doesnt matter. but pwill is true champ p4p the best the comp speaks for it self. i wanna see him fight mayweather or pac next for the p4p crown. i also would love to see him fight james kirkland when kirkland get out. i think thats a another classic fight right there.
