Paul Williams is an unproven product......

[rebmogul]

I agree that P Will has only one quality win over Margartio which I thought was a clear win by Williams by the way, but he has the tools to be great. We all know he has advantages in the height and reach department, plus he throws about 100+ punches per round and he's also athletic. I would like to see him up against one of the WW champs or Mosely to see where he really stands in the division, but I don't see too many fighters wanting to take the risk at this point.

They will take the risk when the reward (money) is right.

I'm tired of these form of threads.

We should be asking the hard hitting questions, like in what round will Calzaghe go? or 'Will Calzaghe fall from a body punch, head punch or just pure exhaustion?'

I think Paul Williams has a big question mark because of how strong Margarito came on in the later rounds... this supposive next big thing badass mother ****er was completely run over in most of the later rounds, once Margarito felt he had ****ed enough rounds away.

This fight reminds me of Taylor-Hopkins I... Hopkins could have won that fight if he would have started fighting earlier... and I think Margarito might have been able to do the same. Taylor has turned out to be less than his pre-Hopkins hype, and I think the same might be true of Paul Williams. He has a freakish body, but I don't know if he has the skills to be able to beat everyone as some people are predicting.

Watching on TV I also thought Williams won, but by two rounds. However a lot of fans and press at ringside felt that many of Williams' punches were ineffective or blocked and had Margarito winning.

watching live or on tv doesn't matter lol. seeing it on tv should be even clearer.

I only asked because I have been to a few myself (quite a few in LV and I don't libe there) and I have also had the chance to watch the same fight on TV later and have been very surprised at the difference on many occasions.

I tend to agree with you. PW may be as good as some people hope, but the fact is getting a win against Margarito proved NOTHING. Margarito has no notable wins either and barely got by Clottey.

It is my guess that both of these fighters will prove to be decent champs but not great. Of course, only time will tell.

I saw taylor/hopkins 2 and saw it the same, so no difference for me.

to me fights live verus fights on tv look very different most of the time. because of the camera angles and movement, tv also seems to provide a more accurate account of what occured...
