Thompson was 40 but he is no bum [WBO Champion]& he was certainly a better fighter than Paul Williams
he defended against Eubank twice & he was virtually out on his feet against Sebastian Rothman & came back to stop him he was out on his feet more than once against Eubank and still went onto win the fight ,he was up and down against Johnny Nelson and that fight was stopped controversially
that the point Thompson has never been a bum & he is a fighter that has always had the capacity to rally back from situations where he is up against it when he looks for all the world he is gonna get stopped he comes through it and comes back even stronger
Paul Williams got made to look ordinary and all he did against Margarito was stand and throw continuously ,he tried that with Quitanan and got thourougly outboxed like the jack ass he is ,Clottey was owning Margarito ass aswell
Margarito is tough but he is limited aswell he aint no Barrera or Morales,J C Chavez thats for sure

still williams and marg were even betting in their fight
haye was probably a wide favorite
plus one thing is losing a close decision other is getting koed like haye
haye got a suspect chin calling out wlad is having a death wish hes lucky hes holding his titles at cruiserweight put any decent puncher with lateral movement against him and he will have trouble

whatever comparing a tko loss to a 40 year older smaller boxer to a close decision loss to an undefeated southpaw younger and bigger boxer is absurd
and p williams is still a dangerous fighter he is no bum unlike carl thompson who is anything but dangerous now

the Haye V Wlad fight is irrelevant fact is Williams is no better than Thompson infact he is inferior IMO ,Thompson beat Eubank Twice but regardless of that the point is Williams is not better than Carl Thompson on par at best & the betting odds were obviously wrong cause Williams was massively overated
im willing to conceed that Margarito has a bad night against Williams & im also inclined to feel the same way about Haye the TKO was more about bad conditioning anyway IMO and his stamina is fine now that fight was a long time agonow .he has obvioiusly improved his stamina and his SKillset with more experience etc ,same as Margarito will have learned from his loss & come back stronger
