I'm sick of all this Paul Williams hype

[Sugar May Floyd]

Come one, No WW wants to fight him. Too high of a risk and no reward.

Williams called out Cotto after beating Margarito. Team Cotto never replied and instead fought Margarito.
Cintron wants no part
Clottey-Williams couldn't happened HBO did not want that fight
Arum said no to the Pavlik fight because he disliked Williams promoters

And who is Paul fighting next? The bloated corpse of Winky Wright, a guy who Hopkins walked through in 2007. A guy who hasn't had a fight in almost 2 years by the time April rolls around. I certainly don't think so.

True Winky will be old and coming off a big layoff when they fight, but aren't they fighting at 154? I'd hardly call Winky a "bloated corpse" at that weight.

I'd agree that Williams is certainly being hyped a lot at the moment, but he is a very good fighter. He's young and still has a lot to prove, but there's no question he has talent.

I wouldn't be shocked if Winky beat PWill.

Yeah, I'm a PWill fan. But you aren't going to find me comparing him to Thomas Hearns, either. Most of time when I'm talking about Williams, it's in jest. He is not invincible, by any means. That honor goes to Calzaghe......

I have nothing against the guy, I'm just sick of his ****riders. If you're a fan of him, that's fine. But some people on here act as if Williams is the most talented fighter out there today, and that's simply not the case. He's very awkward, his balance is really bad, he has no defense for certain punches whatsoever (right hook), and to date his biggest wins are Margarito and Quintana.

I look forward to Paul making me eat my words, but as it stands right now, I'm just not sold.

147 is a deep division, and everybody is trading wins and losses with each other. There really is no "top" guy to be had.
