I look at Paul Williams and Jermain Taylor, and these dudes have a TON in common.
They are both down south "yes sir" gentlemen.
They both were undefeated champions.
They both were considered to be the next big thing.
Their styles allowed them to look incredible against guys moving up, bums and faded fighters.
The truth set in when they started to face the elites in the sport (even their wins were pretty close and both were seemingly always in trouble in their big fights).
Since winning their championship(s), both ended up losing to a guy who they were supposed to fare better against than almost all of their previous championship fights.
And finally, they are two of the nicest guys in the world. After Hopkins and Margarito bitched and moaned about a robbery, they still have nothing but nice things to say about them.
