    Williams vs Margarito, underrated fight?

    I thought this was one of the best fights I've seen in recent years, very high level displayed, very exciting. Leave aside that Margarito may have been cheating or not.

    All of Paul Williams fights are underrated. The guy brings nothing but action. Can you imagine him against Clottey Mosley or Cotto. Those would be blood baths

            No no, I can find things to enjoy in just about any boxing match...It wasn't bad, but 'underrated'? Not in my opinion

            I recognize that Paul Williams is a legit threat anywhere from 147-160, but he always looks a little wild to me. Not as slick as he could be given his speed and apparent talent. Not that I'm any kind of great expert, but he just mostly seems a little sloppy-looking to me. Same with Margarito...

              Paul Williams has never been in a boring fight.

                Nah, it is given it's due credit. It wasn't that good IMO. I have never enjoyed a Margarito fight, and I say that with all honesty.

                  Agree 100%. That was an amazing fight, simply amazing to watch Margarito walk through Williams' best shots and come back firing. Williams pulled it out like a true champion at the end. Amazing battle.
