    Yeah he's fine. His punches aren't delivered with any weight behind them, but that's a product of having overlong arms. (It's a common misperception that having long arms is advantageous in boxing).

    The way he worked the body last night was very impressive, and anyone who throws a hundred punches in a round is ok with me.

If PBF came back, watch Pwill's "fans" disappear into thin air and start sayin Pwill ain't **** and PBF would school him.
      There is something to this I believe.

        I'm not going to deny it. I'm a PWill fan. I'm also a Mayweather, AND a Margarito fan. Shocking, isn't it?
        I refuse to be pigeon holed by somebodies perception of me on a message board.
        They all get the job done in different way's. I appreciate Mayweathers technical brilliance, Margarito's amazing stamina, work rate, and chin, and PWill's freakish attributes.
        You can find something to like about all three.

          Thats not fair, Im not a hugger at all.

          As for the thread question, you got me. I've never been to a live pro fight.

            Yea, its the internet, we just have to live with it. Typically these wars die down after a few days, we just have to suck it up.

Yet every fight I see of his, he gets hardly any fan reaction. When they announced, "And New..." you could hear a pin drop. He continues to fight in smaller arenas. Hell Arreola was really the main attraction last night.

              It's odd to me that a guy like Williams cant even get some fan support. Is his promoter to blame? Is it just the American fan base in general? Other than Pavlik, not a lot of current American fighters have that support.
              Even fans duck paul williams that's what a williams fan would say. His fights or threads get no attention unless the guy in my avi is involved. Paul will needs margarito! he needs him bad

                People arent fans of Paul Williams, they watch his fights and praise him out of fear.

                  it's pretty simple. Most his fans on this site are bandwagon floyd fans. When floyd retired the williams bus started up. These guys hide behind williams in attempt to bash margarito and cotto, hence the only threads or attention william gets are in margarito threads. poor paul he deserves better fans than that!

                      Not much has changed.

                      Why is Williams fighting in California anyway?
