I like how Larry Merchant shattered the myth of Paul Williams being feared

fuck paul williams.

Such harsh words.....lol

[Mr. Philadel]

Paul Williams is still overrated in my humble opinion. With williams it comes to down the fact he throws alot of punches, rather than how skilled or talented he is. He is there to be hit with all sorts but wright executed the wrong gameplan by coming at him straight on. Angles beats williams, he cant see Hook, particularly left hook or left leads, or punches which aren't coming from straight on. This is how quintanta beat him. To beat williams its about angles and timing.

Its difficult to put into words, but williams is very a difficult fighter to beat rather than a super talented boxer imo, he throws alot of punches and judges dont give a f.uck if they land or not, this is what makes him awkward, if i was confident in the ablity of a judge to score landed punches, I would certainly give floyd mayweather a good chance against him, potentially cotto as well, thats just at 147, I need to see how forrest is doing at 154 too, Abraham is overrated to hell, but his wide punching might see him prevail against williams at 160, and I heard the possiblity of chad dawson in the future, if that happened at 168 dawson deffo hurts him.

Difficult fighter to beat, not necessarily as good as people think.

co-sign ......thats Paul Williams to a tee!!

Pacquiao's last fight was at what weight? And Williams can still make 147.

Pacquiao is 7'0" Williams is 6'4" it's a bad match up... Williams should fight his own size...

He said he had a chance to fight Kelly PAVLIK and turned it down. We all knew this maybe everyone forgot. Merchant said it was just a promotional myth.


Anyways...........
This isnt meant to be a Hate thread. To be honest i loved what i saw last night and Paul Williams is becoming one of my favorite fighters to watch. I am looking forward to seeing him fight again. This guy is real exciting and i hope he becomes one of the faces of boxing. I think he gives the crowd what they want by throwing so many punches. I respect Paul Williams but i dont think he is p4p top 10 yet. I would put him at 11 or 12, around there.

Keep on Punishing Paul

you know what's a myth? Anyone fearing that criminal Margarine...
