    Wow, a decent reply from you. Let me give this a shot and before we get started I will put in the fact that this is just my opinion and I'm not alone based on the poll results so far.

    First off, a hard fought UD win against Margarito is better than any win or loss on Kesslers record as far as I am concerned.

    Secondly, his best win was against Anthony Mundine, who has shown some staying power, but he is no Margarito. I give Kess massive credit for fighting with Calzaghe for 6 rounds respectively, but I cannot rank him above a guy who beat Margarito at his peak, destroyed Quintana in the rematch and TKO'd Verno Phillips for the first time in 20 years.
    I didnt disagree that Margarito was the best win. He did not look a beast in that fight.

    You said Williams looked a beast against better comp? If the best you got is Quintana and VERNO (seriously?) then I think - as usual - you're talking out your arse.

      Clearly better than

      Margarito
      Did someone forget to tell you he lost to Calzaghe

      So why is his name on their?

      Sharmba Mitchell (former world champ)
      Antonio Margarito (former world champ)
      Quintana (former world champ)


      Beyer
      Mundine ( not a world champ)
      Andrade ( not a world champ)
      Calzaghe (lost)

        Anybody who beats up on Margarito for 12 rounds is a Beast. Period.

        If you want more of a reply then go back and see post #110 because I've said my peace.

          I don't hate on Kessler, but IMO Williams is the guy everyone is keeping an eye on from 154-160

          Who knows, maybe one day they'll fight. I'd love to see it.
          So Williams beat 2 champs? Kessler beat:

          Manny Siaca (WBA champ)
          Mundine (later WBA champ)
          Eric Lucas (former WBA champ)
          Marcus Beyer (WBC champ) Kessler unified the titles.
          Andrade (Mandatory challenger who gave Bute hell while Kessler didn't lose a minute of this fight).

          Today Kessler is a 3-time worldchampion. Kessler's opposition >>> Pwill's.

          Remember also that Kessler fought Calzaghe with a broken hand and he did not spar due to that injury.

          Turned down Taylor? Where did you read that? From what I heard Dibella turned down Kessler on Taylor's behalf opting for easier fights instead.

            I agree. Unfortunately Williams never did that.

                  Calling Williams the new Tommy Hearns is underrating him

                  People on here have said he could beat Floyd Mayweather too.

                    Paul Williams is easily more overrated. I have nothing against Williams but some people think he's the next jesus christ or some ****. Kessler only has a few wacky fans. I don't even understand how this poll is so close. To me Williams is hyped up much more than Kessler is.

                      Oh yeah. As I stated earlier the hype Williams is getting from flawless and his henchmen is really only fitting for Clark Kent.
