I like Paul Williams..but the closer this fight gets...

[MindBat]

The deciding factor will be how Paul handles Tony's punches.

He can certainly go down from a good shot.

If he can withstand Tony's shots, then he can last the distance

[Kobe Bryant]

Margarito will score. But he too slow to unload his best shots against Williams in my opinion. Williams will use his reach as well and give him a 12 round pounding.

[MindBat]

I thought the same about Marg's speed. Though, I have seen him move pretty quick in other fights.

It's unpredictable what will happen.

[niceguy45]

that's right but he just doesn't take advantage of that, his gameplan is not to jab is just to throw bombs after bombs until he gets hurt, after he gets hurt he is gonna start thinking a lil bit more....

[wolfgang]

Floyd gets hated on way more than margarito, and the reason tony gets hated on because he hasnt beaten any great his whole career. Williams is much more talented than santos, hes the most accurate volume punchers in boxing, and has alot of speed for his size, the only way I see margarito winning this fight is by ko.

[MindBat]

Paul will have to show lots of movement to avoid getting ripped to the body, I think.

If he doesn't make his jab a priority, there's no telling how he'll end up.

[ELPacman]

Yeah I've picked Tony by stoppage since day one. But.

I can easily see how Williams could make the fight difficult because of his straight punches and willingness to trade. If he gets off first it could change the complexity of the fight......but I think Williams has to establish a rhythm early because if he lapses he's going to get beat up.

Tony doesn't stop fighting and he's really durable. I'm pulling for him to win this fight in impressive fashion because if anyone deserves some credit for once it's him.........I've never seen a fighter with more people hating on him, ever.

I wouldn't hate on him if it wasn't for all his complaing he's done about nobody wanting to fight him. It's not really that nobody wants to fight him, it's that the Oscar and Floyd's($$$) of the world don't want to be in for a hard fight with little reward. Instead of calling them out over and over, he could have kept fighting anyone just to stay busy, grow a bigger market, and prove himself better. He hasn't done anything significant yet and beating Williams probably won't look like much to many because Williams hasn't been really tested neither. I just hope if Margarito wins tonight, he does it impressively. Last thing I want is a close fight with Margarito winning a SD. I dun care how Williams wins but I want Margarito to win by KO if it happens. Yeah and I'm rooting for Williams in this fight, I like his attitude.

[Allucard]

Margarito will TKO Williams wait and see. The only reason Margarito is not a superstar right now is because he has a couple early losses and those to Daniel Santos. Since then he is a completly devastating wreck ball.

[EliteSoldier]

I have a feeling this one could end early by KO.

I think you're wrong, Pauls camp isn't ******. They know how big of a fight this is and they pin-point every single flaw they have ever seen in their man before this fight and train harder then they have ever. But if if you are right and Paul loses, why does it bother you so much? Is it because pauls black or is it because you're a fan of his? Any way I see Paul winning and using his tallness to an advantage.

[DLT]

The past fights is the big thing to me. They always bring up the Mathysee fight and picture Margarito doing that and killing him. You could just as easy look at the Santos fight or the first 4 rounds of the Clottey fight and say the exact same thing. E****ally Santos since he's a tall southpaw. He's much bigger then Williams but Williams is much more talented.

williams in not more talented than santos
santos fought in the olympics and think he won a bronze medal
williams is a tall fighter who fights aggressive and lets his hands go he doesnt have solid technique
i dont see how u can say hes more talented than santos

hes definetly more entertaining but not talented this is a big step up in class for williams i hope he doesnt get blown out so people will right him off as being exposed
because i like watching him fight

I disagree. I think Williams is much more talented. Santos is solid but he never fought anyone and he got KO by Jantuah. Now just because your talented doesnt make you a good fighter. Alot of guys with talent suck. Alot of guys with talent cant get to the next level like Zab. However, I do think he is definatly more talented then Santos
