      im not saying its easy ive been in the ring its hard as hell..im not saying hes not world class because he clearly is...maybe saying he cant box was a little strong because he does have ability but hes not an elite boxer hes more of a fighter..martinez is a boxer and a very effective one i think he threw 300 less punches and his punches made the bigger effect in the fight...its not the style for me i can appreciate any style i prefer a slick boxer-puncher but sluggers and counter punchers are fine as long as its effective...i wasnt really trying to bash pwill i have way more respect for him now hes got balls and tries hard which is all a fan can ask for...i just think hes overrated

        If you really are Shawn, best of luck man. From what I've seen you have a huge upside, very quick, power, accurate, good movement. And I get what you mean.

            Thanks for discussing boxing with me Shawn. You're stand up guy, and i'll definetly watch your fight on the 18th. It's good to hear the perspective of a pro boxer. I'll catch you another time. Oh and like I said avoid chavez jr later in your career because the guy is to talented to even be fighting humans. 40 have tried, and 40 have surely failed, so take it as a warning. later

              Williams reach advantage is most effective when he is fighting pressure fighters like Wright and Margarito.

              He was able to tag them all night and avoid their shots because his reach was too much for them.

              Sergio isn't a pressure fighter though, He is a counter puncher so his reach becomes less effective because he has to press the action.

                he doesn't use his height well either---i've known this for years---and have posted this many times---glad to see people are waking up now---i told you guys he doesn't fight his size--which is his own fault---but he'll learn, especially if he fights floyd---and paul leaves his long body exposed a lot also---so dumb---so so dumb---

                  I thought Williams had to get off first since he couldnt see Martinez. Williams did what he had to do to win, great fight for both guys.

                      Yea because Floyd is the expert vs. 6-2 southpaws..who will weigh 165 and throw 110 punches every round....wit an 82 inch reach..amazing chin....will power and stamina.

                      Im Floyds BIGGEST fan....

                      Williams would throughly dominate him.
