Carlos Quintana is willing to fight, why wasn't Williams?

[F-22 Raptor]

To be honest, like I said many times during that period of time... QUINTANA NEEDS TO FIGHT 12 PERFECT ROUNDS TO BEAT PAUL WILLIAMS. How many times can a boxer have the chance to have 12 rounds of boxing excellence??? The 3rd fight would be a loss of time as Quintana would get his azz whooped once again.


Enough said, next!!!

im still amazed when i see that first fight though, man quintana was nailing him perfect. i rememeber being bored that saturday and i was like "oh **** todays the quintana williams fight let's see in how many rounds williams destroys him...my dad was sleeping..and after 4 rounds i was like HOLY **** QUINTANA CAN WIN THIS i woke him up and we were both screaming like little girls cuz i was just so amazed at quintana beating him on every round...

lets make it happen

Quintana earned a right to a third fight... just cause he got blown out the second fight doesnt erase the first loss.

If quintana was willing to rematch williams, williams should rematch quintana instead of fighting a bull**** middleweight fight against kolle or whatever and then verno phillips

[baracuda]

he lost either way to quintana, enough said

rubber match is needed, next

yes there should be .if quintana wins there should be another one and if not their bussiness is finished since williams had a better win by ko

I dislike both fighters and I like both Williams and Quintana. Quintana outclassed Williams in the first fight. Are sure you are prepared to state that Mora outclassed Forrest in the first fight?

Yes Mora did outclass Forrest in the first fight. He provided angles that an older Forrest couldn't deal with the first time around...

Williams-Quintana III was never realistic for November. If Quintana had money issues the second time around (and the first I believe), he wouldn't accept lousy **** money for November. Wright is a better opponent then Quintana is because he is more marquee value in a weight class that according to a lot of people think he should be fighting in to begin with.

If Williams-Quintana III happens and Paul wins, it's:

1. Paul should be fighting at Middleweight.

2. Williams already KOd him in 1 round and there was no need for a rematch.

But that being said, I'm conflicted on whether the fight should happen. While I want to see if Williams can deal with a slick fighter like Quintana because I'm not confident he can, Williams should probably stick at 160. At welterweight he adds more depth, but 160 is direly lacking names. He needs to stay there just so that division won't suck massive ****.

I dont think he was afraid of him, as much as the hopefuls wish for.

He just wanted to cash in on a big fight, couldnt get it, then by that time, different fights were already set up, then it became irrelevant.

Dont get me wrong, I wanted a rubber match.

I never once said Paul was afraid of him. How can you be afraid of a person you took out in 1 round?

What I do think is that he's being hypocritical and so are many other Williams fans who say a 3rd isnt needed.

Each fighter dominated in their own way. Quintana's win was more impressive in my view as well as most who voted in that poll.

I can understand Williams going for bigger names, but at the same time, he has gone for the weakest Champions of the divisions he's fought in such as Kolle and Phillips.

Even Quintana was a cherry picked title defense as they bypassed Clottey, who had recently given Margarito hell for Quintana who had recently been dominated by Cotto.

I guess you want to see Forrest-Mora III too huh?

Nooo please!!!

HBO's budget was EXTREMELY LIMITED by the time of November. That's not cherry picking. They wanted better people for the November date, but there just was no money. You can't blame then for Phillips. Phillips was also ranked #2 for the record, but those ratings were pretty eh.

Also how did Clottey who "recently given Margarito hell" when the fight in 2006? Why should Williams be scared of that when he BEAT Margarito?

Williams doesn't need to give quitnana a rubbermatch he KTFO quitnana under 1 round
