    his workrate would of not meant much if it wasn't for his reach.
    do u think williams would beat margarito,quintanna and martinez if not for the reach advantage?
    williams is a good tough fighter i just don't think he's someone u would put towards the top of the list when you are talkin about boxin skills

      How can you fault a guy for having long reach? Thats just dumb.

      ESPECIALLY when he doesn't even use it that much.

        u seem to hear what u want to hear,margarito is nothing special so u don't need to be longer than him to beat him but if williams didn't have the reach would he still be able to beat margarito? like i said earlier reach is not a boxing skill.
        u say williams doesn't use his reach that much but his 3 biggest fights of his career his reach and workrate is what gave his opponent problems.
        u say he adjusted in the 2nd quintanna fight but quintanna didn't seem to be fightin the same fight he did the 1st time he seemed more aggressive so how could u say he adjusted when his opponent seemed tobe fighting different than he did the 1st time

          Williams did adjust he played counter puncher. Q couldnt fight the same because Paul was bul rushing him so he can spin and counter. Paul said it himself he said they waited for Q in the rematch and it threw him off completly and he got knocked the **** out.

            He has skill, but he gets hit way too much.

              quintanna himself said that he was goin to be more aggressive and was so williams really didn't make quintanna do anything he wasn't already going to do. how can that be an adjustment if the fighter is fighting different

                paul williams' boxing skills were greatly displayed when sergio martinez knocked the snot out of his nose

                  Saying someone has boxing skills for doing **** against MARGARITO is not saying ANYTHING at all.

                  Cotto looked like Sweet Pea against Margarito for 6 rounds.

                      His reach did nothing against Margi.. most that fight was inside.
                      It did nothing against Winky, most that fight was Inside.
                      I did a LOT against martinez, I'll admit. But thats mainly because martinez
                      is a runner and paul punches coming in, thus he was able to punch at a further
                      distance on the way in than most guys, but 1-2 punches from the outside mean nothing when you're just trying to get inside again.

                      He doesn't use his height or reach at all.
