Why all the Paul Williams hate?

i mean, he was considered "the most avoided man" at 147... so automatically, there would be jaded naysayers... especially, once the sergio fans surfaced. i think p-will deserves PLENTY of respect... i think he was misguided as a fighter. basically, he was taught to fight with a style that doesnt utilize his physical advantages... he beat solid competition. i think the weight fluctuations and division jumping for a fight was a bit desperate & hurt him in the long run. i mean, it seems peterson shouldve just stuck with the real estate guidance instead of boxing... because telling the guy NOT to make changes to a crucial flaw is just plain IRRESPONSIBLE. we, as boxing fans, should appreciate p-will's willingness to fight all comers... and determination to mix it up. despite his deficiencies, he always put in WORK. he couldve EASILY fought tall, use his jab, keep distance... and basically be the klitschko of the WW division. and im SURE, he wouldve had a long impressive (although boring) career doing so, but instead he fought like a warrior.

I wouldn't have any fault with him if it wasn't for his postfight comments... I still like Paul but he better not fight Sergio again...for his own well-being...

I think he's overrated, he doesn't fight tall, doesn't work off the jab. bcuz 1000 punches is more exciting he'd rather continue on the same dead end path and for that reason he irritates the ish out of me!! His current trainer has taken him as far as he could that's why theres no plans to change his style. Basically saying...continue to get bashed with the same punch over n over again, keep punching champ and we'll just hope for the best!!!

I'm pi$sed at Paul Williams because he lied! His trainer and him both knew he was losing the fight but instead of holding his hands up and admitting he got a gift of a decision he said he believed he won the fight in the post fight interview. The judges were awful but I would respect Paul more if he had told the truth. As soon as I heard the first judge scored it a draw I knew that Lara was getting screwed!

How do you figure that HBO made him take those fight? Paul took those fights because they were the best available not because he didn't want them. Evidently you didn't follow the negotiation of the Martinez rematch and the aftermath when he got beat. He tried to go back to 147, but HBO made him rematch Sergio. He tried to fight Ishida but but HBO made him fight Lara.

He gets more preferential treatment than Berto does and Jermaine Taylor did when you really stop to think about it. Very pampered fighter in regards to the way HBO treats him and the way judges are very biased in his fights. That's reason enough right there to not like him. Plus he didn't really fight Lara and Martinez the second time because he wanted to. He did it because HBO made him. So in that regard, he isn't really pampered. But it's just things that are really noticeable that makes it look like HBO is really biased towards him. Like getting introduced first in the Martinez rematch when Martinez came to the fight as the champ. What kind of garbage is that? Asking for a catch weight. I can go on and on but I'll just leave it at this. How do you figure that HBO made him take those fight? Paul took those fights because they were the best available not because he didn't want them.

My biggest hate is for his trainer and I hate guys like Williams & Judah who are so devoted to them that it ruins there careers. There trainers suck and there careers couldve been better. That goes for other guys too +1 Both of those guys could have had much better careers if they didn't waste so much time with people that weren't qualified to train talents like them, but at the same time you have to respect them for being loyal though.

I don't think he's shot, I just never thought he was any good and the blueprint to beat him is out now. I also don't get all this talk about "Williams being such an exciting fighter", yes the guy has heart, but a 6'4 prey mantis with a wingspan of a heavy throwing pitty patty punches all round in a sloppy manner does not make him an exciting fighter. Only exciting fight I ever saw him in was the first against Sergio and that was only cause Sergio hadn't really trained for that fight.

Paul Will still is durable in my opinion so he is not completely shot to shiit. P Will needs to find himself a new trainer to teach him how to fight tall and work on his defense. I believe this guy with the right guidance from steward could be a threat to anyone at 154

It's probably because of Burner. After years of Burner promoting him on NSB. People have come to dislike PWill and want to see him lose. Most likely to rub into Burner's face. No offense Burner just saying. :dunno:

seriouly don't hate the fighters, hate the judges and the horrible commission that appointed them. With that said, **** BENJI ESTEVEZ!
