      Well, I can see you're just goofing off now- but in general I see the connections you're making but I have to say they're a bit of a stretch? Why? Because comparing Williams to Taylor is a bit hard when you take into account that Paul Williams only had one title defense; Jermain has had several - and Jermain Taylor was courted by HBO, and showcased, much more like Andre Berto is now after he came out of the Olympics. Williams was given air-time but shot to the "top" much more quickly...so the pace of their careers makes comparing them hard.

          Honestly, I was just thinking about Williams, and how I thought that he really was one of the nicest guys ever to grace the sport... and then I tried to think of someone who has shown as much respect as he has after every fight, and Jermain Taylor popped into my mind. That made me think that they were both southern gentlemen and what not... so I just decided to make a thread about it!

          I should have put their faces on the opposite person's body though... they are looking the wrong way.
