I can't respect Paul Williams

If he can make weight, I don't see a problem. Fighters should just admit that they are intentionally ducking him because of those physical advantages though, not play footsie with each other.

Ali Funeka, Thomas Hearns, Tito, SRL? What are they to you? Sad that people would so ****** as to complain about Paul Williams, a fighter who doesn't even use his height/ reach advantage that much. Even commentators say, "Shouldn't Paul be using his height?". The man in your avy faught more like a taller man then Paul and that is a fact.

Boxing is divided in WEIGHT divisions. Not HEIGHT divisions.

Height is such a major advantage.It's so much harder to hit somebody taller and who has a longer reach than u .

Exactly! Tito Trinidad?? You serious?!? He is 5'11! Williams is perhaps as tall as 6'3, you said it yourself!

He can box, but I just can't bring myself to respect him. I mean, guy is like an octopus and he's fighting guys that are 5'9, 5'10, 5'11 at most. With hands like his you don't really have to be very skillful to outbox a smaller guy with shorter hands. I think it's cowardish when you're AT LEAST 6'1 and with a 82 inch reach and you are fighting welterweights and LMW's!

But it's far from cowardish people who are full fledged welterweights and fight at 160+ like Cotto to be calling out the likes of Floyd Mayweather and Pacquiao and still cry about catchweights. So where do you really draw the line?

its not a major advantage when someone whose tall like williams cuts his height down by leaning over when he fights.

Why cant you goto the body? Why cant you counter punch? Surely he throws enough punches to give you plenty of opportunities.

I can't respect Paul Williams
