    PW is overrated

    He's had some good wins including a decision over Margs, but in the Margs fight he was running out of gas and in to right hands in the last few rounds. If Margs had come at him early I think he stops PW. Don't get me wrong he looks like a good fighter but Margs with the right strat kills this guy.

    It was too little too late for Tony, as a fighter though he should have had the killer instinct to know to step it up. if he smelled prey he should have went and got his meal but he didn't he just paced around a bit and did his **** late.. Tony wins a rematch and just about anyone with a good overhand right.

      I agree, Margs left it too late and if anyone can grind down PW into submission I'd bet on Tony to do it.

        Margarito can't do it because he is not accurate enough and although Williams' defense is ****, he won't fold to Margarito punches. I hope those 2 fight again, maybe Williams will get more credit the second time around.

          Thing is that Williams is too easily hit, all you have to do is not stop throwing punches. Tony showed that Paul isn't going to phase him in terms of face shots and Margarito's body defense is up to par. in the first fight Williams punches seemed to only somewhat keep Margarito off, they were so rapid that he didn't know how to respond therefore wasting away many of the early rounds so once he found his niche, once he saw that all it took was maximum pressure he started to take over the fight but by then it was too little too late, all Paul had to do was finish the fight.

          Tony went through a complete change IMO, he is WAY more aggressive than before and his punches seem to do more damage, they wear on you and tear you up as shown against Cotto. he didn't have to do nothing but just march fourth and throw only the right punches, uppercut when Cotto goes to the body and body shots mixed with face shots for the rest of the time. Cotto's conditioning faded but it was more due to Margarito's punching than whatever preparation issues he may have had, Tony showed substantial improvement than when he fought Williams the first time.

          this time around you can believe Tony will kick it up early, he has more than enough stamina to go 12 hard rounds fighting for all 3 minutes of each round and he can take what Williams is going to give so the question is can Williams hold himself up against relentless, effective pressure? I'm not so sure about it. Williams is tough, instead of fighting on the outside he literally pushes for a fight on the inside which against Tony is the wrong thing to do, he's going to recieve the worse end of that. there is no more figuring out process, tony understands what he did wrong and showed in other fights he's corrected those mistake which was basically getting started early (Cintron II, Johnson) on and showing strategy (Cotto)..

          honestly if these 2 fight again I would pick Tony with my eyes closed. he could have won the first one had he just kicked **** up early. overall he brought the wrong hat for his suit, in a nutshell he made mistakes that he no longer commits so I see him doing more of what he started doing in the later part of their first fight and winning based off that.

            Paul may becoming overrated, but part of that is because Margarito will not fight him again...so it leaves the nuthuggers with lots of lotion.

            Margarito needs to avenge his loss because right now what we know is that Paul beat Margarito. If Paul wasn't offering the fight, sure, that would suck and that would say something about Paul feeling lucky, but, he is not...he is offering the fight to Margarito.

            The rematch would be good. I am too getting a bit sick of the nuthuggers and the haters on this board, although some of the comments are funny; let's finish it with a rematch.
