PAUL WILLIAMS: The modern-day Henry Armstrong

[daggum]

I understand the whole "fighting in multiple weight divisions" thing, but seriously ; Henry Armstrong wouldn't get treated like a red headed step child by Carlos Quintana.

well he did get ko'd in his first pro fight by a bum. imagine the boxingscene backlash.

[DrewWoodside]

Sigh. Why call people names? That's childish. Just discuss the sport.

The writer gave you something to think about...or not.

It makes me wonder what kind of colleges you guys attended.

Guy calls you a dork and you take it to heart? This is BoxingScene, that's probably one of the kindest "insults" I've ever read.

SMH @ this thread...

Pacquiao is the closest to Henry Armstrong, but he's even fighting Cotto at a catch weight and he hasnt gone back down in weight to defend the titles he previously won.

Totally different times and totally different fighter.

[Al Haymon]

willing to fight isn't the same as fighting. he doesn't fight at 147, like you and the article suggest

quintana wanted the rubber match

clottey wanted the fight

sergei wanted him

martinez wants him

paul williams last 3 opponents put together are about 115 years old. that's pathetic

Quintana: I just knocked you out in one round. I have nothing else to prove

Clottey: a good fight. But u can't say he ducked Clottey to go for Pavlik. RIGHT?

sergei: 154

Martinez: 154

Let's be fair to Paul. He isn't trying to duck anyone. He was training for a fight at 160 and is more than willing to switch gears on short notice to take my man Sergio at 154.

Sergio wants Paul whereas Shane was very frightened of Paul.

Rav,

This is a forum, Killer. Shouldn't we post controversial articles and discuss them? If not, what else?

The difference between Pacquiao and Williams? Williams is willing to fight you at YOUR best weight. Pacquiao breaks out his slide rule and calculates your blood sugar level at drained weights.*

Paul Williams has about a foot in height over Henry Armstrong.

[MJ406]

regardless of the circumstances if Williams wants to division hop between Welter Super-Welter and Middle

he's gonna have to step up the opposition from Verno Phillips, Winky, Kolle etc

**we'll see who steps up to the plate on December 5th

He asked Shane, the best welter for a fight. Shane was afraid.

He scheduled the best middle for a fight. Three times. Pavlik pulled out.

Dude.

how can you step up if mosley, cotto, mayweather, clottey, and pavlik refuse to fight you? those are all the big names around. he's gonna have to fight martinez but that's hardly a step up cause that guys only beaten cintron.
