The reason I decided to make this thread, is because a poster on here made a pole about which fighter you would like to be destroyed the most. And of all fighters, Paul Williams lead in the pole. Had even more votes than Amir Khan the last time I checked.
Now I don't really like Paul Williams, but I used to be a fan and I give him credit when it comes to certain things unlike some people.
But here are the things I have against Paul Williams.
1. Tried to weasle out of the Martinez rematch.
2. Demanded a catch weight as a requirement for it to happen.
3. Has biased judges in his fights.
4. Managed by Al Haymon
5. Uses Pacquiao and Mayweather as an excuse to move down to a less talented divivision when Floyd is locked up and Pacquiao's next fight is outside of that division.
People, I want you to explain why you don't like P-Will.
as no surprise, Im not a Williams fan, and like I stated a couple of years a go, that any no name will call everybody because they dont have anything to lose, but as soon as they get leverage they wont be as willing. an thats how Williams has turn to be, and Caballero will follow sut and all those guys who calls everybody out.
Now even though he aint as skill nor as invencible as his fans makes him out to be, he is very tought, fights his ass off and always entertain to see him fight
I'm a big P-Will fan. I don't get why people knock on him for the whole weight and height issue. Aren't you supposed to try to make the lowest weight? If he makes weight, leave him alone, and who cares if he calls out May and Pac? They're the two best with the biggest money fights. I would do the same ****.
I dont dislike Williams once he gets in the ring, with exception of the Cintron fight he usually put it all on the line and fights like hell, not so talented but very entertaining to watch.
Thing is after Margarito beat Cotto, the Williams hype went over the limit...he suddenly was so great and only could be open to huge paydays it seemed.
Yes the Pavlik fight was screwed up yes ok boo Pavlik blah blah
Then he didnt want the match again when offered and that what makes him a hypocrite, the most feared man in boxing will not fight for the liner mw titles because he wants 50-50 with the current MW champ...yes that sounds like a throwback badass fighter sure :banana:
Then Martinez beats him..
Then Martinez steps up (unlike Williams) and beats Pavlik..
Williams loses to Cintron..
Williams delays fighting Martinez as long as possible...and demands a goddamn catchweight.
I had gained respect for Williams over time but lost it this year. Still he is an entertaining fighter just hard to get a fight made with him.
Those are all good reasons.
I also hate that he ducked a Cintron rematch and that he thinks he only deserves big money fights even though nobody ever heard of him and he fought in front of 50 people in his last fight.
which he lost.
Aside from that, I guess he's cool.
He's a horrible fighter, thats my main reason. He's tall, has a long reach and has solid stamina, everything else about him is average at best. (you know what I'm sayin'?) He's tall as hell yet slouches down when he punches so much he almost loses his height advantage, he gets hit far too often and doesn't have the chin to take the Margarito approach.(you know what I'm sayin'?) He's the "most feared man in boxing" yet tried to everything he could to avoid Martinez in a rematch and he priced himself out of the Pavlik fight twice, then when Pavlik had a LEGIT reason to postone (albeit his 3rd time) Williams simply pulled out instead of waiting 1 or 2 more weeks for the fight. (you know what I'm sayin'?) I'm sorry but if you want to prove the best you take the hits before, during and AFTER the fight. (you know what I'm sayin'?)
paul williams is the thomas hearns of our era..........we need more like him.....im defintely a fan!....:boxing:
Paul Williams is not even remotly similar to Tommy Hearns. Yes there black, yes there tall, that doesnt mean they fight the same they fight totally different i am sick and tired of this comparison.
I'm on the fence with Paul, i enjoy his fights, but i wouldn't call myself a fan, but he gives anyone a competitive fight right now in my opinion.
i'm not sold...Williams and his 'style' is due to burn out in the next couple of years
he's lucky Angulo got deported
cool man altho i disagree...i just think williams is too good for both el perro or kirkland .....
The whole Cintron thing left a sour taste in my mouth. I'm amazed this incident hasn't been looked into more closely, reeks of scandal and untold truths to me. (probably shouldn't suggest betting rings for legal reasons :fu2:)
He claims to be the most avoided man in boxing....then tried to stay away from a Martinez rematch which was possibly his biggest fight out there...
thats enough reason for me to dislike him at the moment.
this foo said Tommy Hearns
another reason to hate that hypejob
damn right!....not saying he's as great as him yet but he denitely is going the right path, watch him beat sergio clearer than he did the last time and everyone else at 154 and 160.....
Pwill is an over-rated hype job like Berto, dude will be fighting Bantamweights soon, dude is like 6"3, he should be fighting Cruiser weights with his height (do a quick cycle) instead of trying to drain himself to where he has a 7inch height and 30 lb weight difference at fight time. Dude is trying to fight the easiest competition he can find, he's like a person at goodwill trying to find the cheapest item. It took him so long just to get the rematch with sexy because he was put in a corner and had no choice. I still cant believe he won that fight, it was such a scoring joke! 119-111! lol
That's sig material right there.

i was on the fence with Williams
he didnt really do anything to make me a hater, but he also didn't do anything to make me a fan
so i was neutral...but then he has this one fan on boxingscene...annoying as fukk and i know if Williams loses, that fan shuts the fukk up for a good minute
WAR SERGIO :headbang:
I know I forgot to list Burner as one of the reasons.
I don't dislike Williams. Not a fan. I accept he's childish. But he's really a product of the times. Him, May, Berto etc. No one wants to grow up. Not even grown up men and women.
