I'm not one of the bozo's that claim Williams doesn't have the right to fight at 147lbs because he is too tall. It's simple, if you stand on the scales and weigh within the limit you deserve to fight reguardless the hieght. POINT BLANK. That's what keeps things interesting in the sport of boxing. I just think his skills and power are overated. O.k., he beat Margarito in a close decision. Big deal. Everyone talks about his power because he caught Quintana with one good shot in thirteen rounds. Wow..He got schooled twelve and one half of them. The fundemantals are there to build,... but he still has a long way to go. He's just good for now. no where close to great (YET)

To ur topic title Hell yesssss on here he is...
I heard the dude being compared to thomas hearns and how would he flare against Hagler type threads.... -
He is overated, but still one of the top Welters.Comment

I agree, thread starter. But I do think he still has the best chance at unifying the 147 crown, as well. Take from that what you will.....Comment

losin a decision 7-5 does not equal getting schooled for 12 rounds. Hes my favorite fighter and i believe he is the best at 147, but yes some people do overrate him, just like people do with a lot of fighters. I think he can be an atg, but he is certainly no lock to be one. And he has to find fighters willing to fight him.Comment

yes yes and yes..why because people are comparing him to legends already.hes still improving and is a solid fighter..but there are still to many?????Comment

He definitely has room to improve, but I think he is the #1 WW right now. It's hard to say how much he improved after the 1st Quintana fight even though I do think he just had an off night.Comment

I don't think he's overrated, he's shown he's a good fighter. At 147 he should NEVER lose, he just has too much of an advantage. It's like a 6-10 center trying to guard shaq in the post. With that being said i do think margarito beats him in a re-match. I can honestly say i would like watching williams fight at 160-168 he seems like a cool dude every time I see an interview with him (i would be some what of a fan of his and would root for him against anyone in those division except taylor i really like taylor). Him at 147 doesn't impress me though but i hope him and margarito settle the score soon!!Comment

As the thread starter, I've been entertained by the replies so far. He has the fundementals to be great one day, possibly in several weight classes. I take nothing away from him. He just needs more time, more high level comp. and way better defense. CLOTTEY is the best w.w. as of now.Comment
