I wouldn't say it was a ''gift'' decision ( the Martinez fight). It wouldn't have been a robbery if either man won and i thought Williams finished stronger. When you consistently fight the best, close fights happen.

He isn't very skilled though. He has great stamina and workrate but technically speaking he isn't skilled.

I think he should be top ten but somewhere from 7-10, imo.

There keeping him there so he can be the icing on somebodys cake...JMM Mosley & Cotto better than he is.

[MOTHER DUCKER]

PAUL WILLIAMS IS NOT THE 3RD BEST FIGHTER IN THE WORLD IM SORRY JUST NO



Why the hell did Adamek get only 4 votes but Bhop 40? Bhop was extremely inactive after a very good performance vs Pavlik then had a fight vs a journyman and a shot Roy Jones and didn't look good at all.

How can Martinez be below Williams? He beat teh Undisputed MW champ of the world and really he knocked out Cintron and got a disputed loss vs Williams!
