Why do some people here dislike Paul Williams?

[Da Hammer]

i really havent noticed much hate for PW here although maybe i havent been paying close attention. i have a lot of respect for him hes always been a great fighter and i dont see him slowing down much (except when he eventually fights the tornado again lol). i enjoy watching him fight cause he fights with heart and determination just like my boys margarito and pacquiao

I see this as, if we all started hating a fighter because he has some idiot loud fans in here, we would not like any of them. Is that fair to the fighter himself?

You asked why people hate Paul I was just pointing out it seems like alot of people hate Paul because people don't always agree with fanatical narrow minded fans such as Luciano, I don't hate Paul, I like him he's a boxer and a champion who doesn't dodge people how can a boxing fan not like that? It's just when fanatical fans try to over-hype him by hailing him as the next Sugar Ray Robinson that alot of people get angry and usually end up insulting the boxers skills instead of realising it's the posters fault for being an idiot.

Good post. If I was like that, I wouldn't like Wlad, Tyson, Pacquiao, and Pavlik

I'm glad to see more signs of sanity in here. This place can turn really venomous at times. Cotto seems to be the flavor of the day even after he fought his heart out. Any fighter who is willing to step up to the plate and fight the best available, deserves a ton of respect.

I guess what I am saying is that it is a shame to see a fighter get grouped in with certain individuals on a boxing forum. Nobody on here represents a fighters thoughts and actions.
