      khan is a little small for me isnt he. dont go all warrior on me now. lol
      You said you were going to fight at welterweight in the future, and Khan will fight at welterweight in the future to, so both of you will be in the same weight class; so no I don't think he is to small for you. Bro honestly, and I haven't seen you much, but he looks bigger then you. Yeah man you don't want to see my warrior side on the internet i'd take that 0.

              because to achieve his level you have to have high boxing ability.

                True I laugh when guys claim that pro boxers have no boxing ability. That's the dumb shat ever. All of them have boxing ability, but some better then others, and some worse. There are always technical flaws that can be pointed out, but that does not mean they don't have abilities. Paul is an awkard akward guy. Seldom does one see a guy with such a reach advantage over his opponents fight the way he did, so of course guys are going to come on here and discuss this, possibly with hate, yet it is pure criticism. I for one wonder why he doesn't fight like a tall guy.

                  Neither Williams nor Martinez are anywhere even close to being "greats" just yet.

                    not entirely true looks at froch hatton valuev mayorga they all have very limited boxing ability and have been world champions just like pwill


                    hes been protected very well in his carreer and ive been saying for years that hes overrated people look at his record and think hes unbeatable because of numbers...he doesnt use his right hand effectively and is very easy to time jab sucks and has no movement

                      pretty harsh dude. its not as easy as the greats make it look trust me. williams is a world class fighter and to do that you have to be able to box well. maybe not box in the style you like but the dude can box for sure
