Bob Arum (and Antonio Margarito) are full of ****...

What the **** are you talking about?? Dan Rafael scored it 9-3 as did Kellerman. Williams won the first 6 and then cleaned him out in the 12th. NOBODY had Margarito winning other then him, then he rewatched the fight and hasn't mentioned Williams since.

your a liar buddy! margarito won all of the rounds past the sixth excluding the 12th which cost him a draw. Give me a break! Funny you guys think williams mopped the floor with him. Tell me who was the guy holding and grasping for air in the tenth and eleventh round?

p will said himself margaritos power is a 10 on a rate of 1-10 so that pretty much says it for his fans that he could feel those punches all night, he was just moving all night like the girl he his he woulnt stand to go to war with margarito like cotto did once in a while in the fight..

That is true. The press who was there live had the fight very close. I thought it was 7-5, maybe 8-4 at worst. All of this talk of how Williams owned Margarito is full of **** though.

As is all of the talk about Williams holding on for dear life in the later rounds.

I never said Mayweather wasn't exciting in fact show me where I did say that? Just because I said those fights weren't exciting doesn't make me a hater of Floyd.

I like Floyd, never put him down in spite of my association with Margarito, and recognize his greatness. I truely enjoyed watching his run to 140 but to be honest at 147 he isn't the same fighter.

He isn't the same at 147? Nobody is going to be the same when fighting 3 weight classes higher than where they started. He still has all of his skill. He just isn't lightning quick as he used to be, but he is still faster than any fighter in the division.

Is that the same Dan Rafael who had Jermain Taylor up 6-0 before he got KO'd by Pavlik? Ok. Many of the ringside press had the fight a draw or Margarito winning. That is a fact. Go ahead and check. I actually agree with your score of about 7-5 Williams. But it wasn't the route some of the Margarito haters are playing it as. I would expect a rematch to be even closer.

What a pathetic post lol. Stand toe to toe? Man this has to be one of the ******est comments I ever saw a fan post lol.

I think they want a big payday right now then go for the risk,the rematch will happen believe me, besides Pauly is not well recognized by others so it wont get much media unless its tune up...

damn sox, couldn't put better myself man. at this point with with margarito having beaten cotto its not a mater of if, but rather of when. arum is gonna let margarito enjoy some time in the spotlight before taking any risks. as far the fight itself i think that williams wont last in the rematch. the only things that williams has to his advantage is height, reach and volume punching which is kinda hard to overcome in a division such as the welterweight div. margarito at 147 has a way better chin and more power.

Scott, the fight wasn't close. You know it, I know it, and even Margs fans know it. I'm looking for the press row scores, but I could care less what they thought. I'm looking at old posts from other forums, and 99.9% had Williams the clear winner. I'll look for the press row thoughts though.

Fight was close. Fight was close like Bhop vs JT 1.
That's how close the fight was.

PWill won on volume, prettyness and effective ring generalship. He did not win more than 7 rounds though.

actually half of press row at the fight thought Tony won including Iole who has been tough on Tony to that point

I had it a draw, and that's with Margarito either starting really slow or using a terrible strategy if he thought Williams would wear himself out. Margarito would beat Williams badly if they did it again...
