Williams Is Crazy For Fighting Winky!

[DLT]

1st off let me say that these are 2 of my favorite fighters but I just dont think this fight makes sense for Williams. I know he cant get the big fights or money and that Winky gives him some of that but a Winky fight wont make but so much money and it brings super high risk along with it. Williams is a physical freak and has advantages over most guys but Winky is a very big guy his ownself. Williams size wont affect Winky at all. Then you have Williams who's not maybe a power fighter like Margarito but he still pushes alot of guys around but Winky is big & strong enough to where Williams cant do that. We already know about his D which could give Williams alot of troubles but most of all he is a Southpaw.

I still say that being a Southpaw is a super huge advantage in sports and most people will have trouble with them, including southpaws themselves. I always say that Cotto and Margarito are clearly better then Quintana but I bet that Quintana will probably beat Williams more times then the other 2 would if they fought a 100 times because his Southpaw style gave Williams trouble and Winky can do the same. He can do what Quintana did times 10. Now obviously Winky is past his prime and has been very inactive but until I see him fall completely flat, I still will make him a very very very very live dog against anyone because he's that good. Lets say that Winky looks good and pulls off the win? Then what happeneds to Williams? He'll never get close to another Margarito or Cotto fight. There already waiting for an excuse not to fight him again and if he loses this time then its over for him. It just doesnt make sense to me.

Im not saying that he should fight bums, Im just saying "dont fight Winky". I wouldnt even mind if he fought a Clottey, Mosley, or Cintron but Winky? Thats crazy to me. If you asked me what would be Williams worst nightmare, I would probably say Winky. Wouldnt you? Someone just as big as him, with good D, who is also a Southpaw, is a master boxer, has top notch D, and all the experince in the world. Williams better win or he's a fool. Again, Winky maybe washed up and Williams might kill him but thats a big assumption to make. Pavlik made that assumption about Hopkins and it didnt workout right. Williams has way more to lose then Pavlik does. Pavlik can still go right back to the top of MW but Williams wont get anything if he loses

none of the other names really want him, marg is pre-occupied and hasn't exactly been chasing the rematch with PW, cotto is too small but even then he is coming off a loss, berto and collazo are still trying to make their impact on the WW's and clottey offered to fight at 154 but hes not a big name at LMW and doesn't bring his title with him.

winky is still seen as a great LMW, beating him would give PW the right to stake a claim that he is the best in the division and who knows maybe that will tempt marg into a unification match-up.

i know that winky is a danergous fight but PW is a very good fighter, if nothing else he will learn alot from fighting one of the best defensive boxer ever. besides making 154 or 160 even isn't going to be easy for winky. to say that he might have a little bit of ring rust is an understatement and i expect PW to set a high workrate and give him hell for the first few rounds. i think this fight is something to get excited about and more even than you might think.

its a good fight for both men...I feel its a passing of the torch..

DLT, I must say, for once, I kind of agree with you

[Kris Silver]

I must say I think this is a bad fight. I can't conclusively pin point why, though some of the points you raise ring true.

Just not the most creative match up really. It was certainly less than top 2/3 in the preference line for Williams. The last time such a desperate situation for an opponent such as that occured at least on this scale, was Pavlik. I'm just not sure Williams can know what he's going in for here, at a moment when his career is desperate for some sort of stability.

[El Dominicano]

Paul can win on workrate alone. The MOST important thing for Paul to do is keep a distance and throw

It'll be a dull fight and we won't see accurate punching from neither...but that is what Paul would have to do inorder to win

[ferocity]

Whats funny is how Winky didn't want to figth Margarito but he'll fight Williams.

How people actually give hope on Williams winning and dog Margarito of any chance against Winky.

Winky has gotten hit alot more lately an old ike hit him a bit even tho he won the fight, williams is a high punch out fighter and winky is probably going to struggle to make weight, that will sap some speed of his streight punches and give williams to counter.

I think this is a great thing for Williams . He finally can fight a worthy name . I mean his most recent fights havent been top class opponents so I hope he comes ready to fight.
