why does Williams not use his reach advantage?

[OaktownGhost]

wtf is up with him lunging in like a smaller fighter? He should stay on the outside, use his jab, and keep those little guys at bay with solid punches, yet he doesn't do this, and he swarms way in like he wasn't 6'1. This mothafooka is awkard as hell, and I've never seen anything like him. I think if he would get caught clean with some massive bombs by Shane if they fought, as he lunges in.

He is not good at the basics.

He is just an awesome athlete, he is not THAT crafty.

[Jim Jeffries]

He used his reach plenty in catching Martinez leaning back. When Sergio moved to the side, he made Paul miss like crazy. If only SM was a better inside fighter.

That's true. Williams just isn't a well schooled boxer.

He's a freak with heart and balls that he uses and a telescopic reach that he doesn't use.

I thought he just wanted to bum rush with a KO and stopped dead in his tracks when confronted with angles and right hooks courtesy of Sergio Martinez.

Peace.

If Williams knew how to fight off his back foot and countering he would be unstoppable

If Williams stopped believing his own hype and work on stop blocking right hooks with his face he’d be unstoppable.

Peace.

I believe he has the ability but doesn't use it. Aggression sells tickets, ko's sells tickets. Habits that lead to a short career unfortunitely

The man is a warrior who loves fighting in the trench's!!

I think he use reach advnatage all the time in fights. people need to remember that he is fighting another top fighter in the world that takes away some advantages at times.martinez is no joke and it was a great against a great which is why it was such a good fight
