    Margarito's performance against Johnson was nothing to laugh at but the Golden Johnson jokes were funny for a while I admit.

    Williams hasn't been known for being a puncher aside from his recent first round KO win over Quintana so it was somewhat impressive. He is really improving all the time.

    A punch is something he had lacked before, seeing a journeyman on 24 hours notice (forgot his name) take his best shots didn't seem promising.
    Quintana also shook Paul's punches off in the first fight, it seemed as if he was just slapping with his hooks. That's not the case anymore.

      just more proof that margarito is the most hated fighter on the boxing scene because he keeps exposing everyone favorite fighters because they either duck him or get knocked out. its just plain and basic common sense.

You even read yourself when these same kids criticizing Cotto for fighting Gomez who had been fighting at MW. Cotto managed to give Gomez his first KD and KO and that "wasnt impressive" at all. Gomez is a far more accomplished fighter than Kole yet Williams is now seen as the biggest threat to ANY division because he moved to the weight class he started out in and beat the all mighty Kole? ha

            Williams took that fight since Margarito didn't want to fight him, it should've been Margarito in there with him but as his manager said, now its Paul's time to wait.

              Different circumstances but Paul aint gettin no praises from me for beating some1 I don't even know. But I still think Paul beats Margarito if they fight again.

                Yeah I know some people are getting out of control comparing him to Hearns and saying that he can beat Pavlik or Abraham, which I don't think he could. Competitive maybe, but I don't see him beating them. As for Gomez I didn't mind Cotto fighting him, because you knew after that fight it was going to be Margarito. It was just a showcase fight to hype up him and Marge more. I know Gomez was fighting MW on the Contender, but the rest of his other fights were at WW or or Jr MW.

                Kolle wasn't good, but how many people thought Paul would knock him out within 1 round. He's gone from a guy that was a slapper to know sitting on his punches and KOing people. He beat Marg the first time and I see him beating him again, I don't think that's too far fetched and I can see him also doing well at 154. I just want to see Marg and Paul fight again so we can know who is the best at WW.

                    Johnson was a past prime lightweight, Kolle is a prime middleweight.

                      I definitely agree about Williams sitting on his punches more. It makes him much more dangerous.
