Originally posted by Dave Rado View PostSo you think it was unfair of Hearns to fight other Welterweights? He was the same height as Williams. Most ATG lists rank him as one of the three greatest Welterweights of all time.
And you think it was unfair of Dwight Muhammad Qawi to fight for the Light Heavyweight title when he was shorter than Pacquiao? He's ranked among the top 10 Light Heavyweights of all time by most historians.
And you think it was unfair of Tyson to fight for the Heavyweight title when he was only 1" taller than Mosley?
Vernon Forrest started at Jnr Welterweight, and he is only 1" shorter than Williams - I suppose you think that's unfair as well?
Boxing has weight classes rather than height classes for a reason.
That's why it's called Welterweight, not Welterheight. I don't understand why so many posters seem to find that so difficult to understand.
And Williams' walk around weight between fights is lower than Mosley's, Cotto's and Clottey's. It's about the same as Pacquiao's.

Originally posted by fdotorres View Posthis fight with winky sold less than 3000 tickets. the little crowd that attended was cheering for winky btw
he's a great fighter no doubt, but he never put himself in a position to fight the top of the WW division
his best win was against margarito, not against quintana, so why didn't he focus on clearing the rest of the top 10 WW's? that would definitely get him another crack at the top guys like margo
quintana was a start for him, but he did lose the 1st fight, so he never defended the belt he got from margarito. you can't expect to fight floyd that way. ranked fighter must have drawing power if they plan to call out opponent that bring in the millions. that's how it is, and that's how williams isn't

Originally posted by Spray_resistant View PostLet me ask you this and put it this way. It is more about who fighting who is legit and who isn't. If Paul Williams fighting MW Champ Pavilk is legit on all ends, then ask if Cotto fighting Pavlik would be legit or how about Mayweather and Mosely fight Pavlik? If those guys aren't legit comp for Pavilk and Williams is then when someone tells me Williams vs top WWs is legit something doesn't add up or seem right to me. He should just fight in his weight class against guys his own size. What if he beats Pavlik how bad does that look, the MW champion wanting to pick on WWs?

Originally posted by Matt Marvelous View PostI think Paul would have a good chance of beating Floyd, but there's no way he maintains an ultra high workrate against him. He might only throw 600-700 punches in that fight. Floyd is too goddamn good defensively and lightning fast. I mean, how many did he throw against Quintana? I think it was less than 800. And not being to throw and land was a huge reason he lost that fight.
He did'nt box in that fight he just tried to walk through Quintana.
