    At what weight?

    And how tall was he?

    Also.... was this opponent able to take advantage of Pauls height and reach?


    Thanks.
    To be fair Williams had an off night, it wasnt Quintana. As Williams proved in the rematch.

      Quintana was timing and countering the **** out of Williams...

      The fight proved it can be done.


      Where should Ali Funeka fight?

      That's what I want to know... someone answer this for me.

        How do you see Ali Funeka fairing against Pavlik at 160?

        Both pretty much the same size IMO... what do you think?
        Funeka had to take illegal diaretics to get to the Lightweight limit. Talk about boiling down and then some. Yet Joan guzman who came in as a welterweight physically handed funeka his ass. If anything that proves my point that these super rangier fighters like funeka and williams boil themselves down to not only have reach and hight advantages but also they ensure that their opponent isn't physically stonge enough to make their reach irrelevent.

          And I think thats says more about Williams lack of talent rather than his physical advantages.

            But the almighty Carlos Quintana did it.

            Countered and timed the **** out of him.

            Height and reach didn't mean **** in that fight... how come?

              This is what top rank had ODH doing at 130 and 135.

                12 round schooling proves more than 1 round KO to me.

                If it was abit more, then OK Quintana wouldn't be cold.

                  I think it's basically that they don't like Burner who happens to like Williams.

                  As far as I can tell P-Will should fit nicely into that archetype of boxer that you often find the anti-Mayweather/anti-Burner gang supporting, i.e. fighters that FIGHT. Or maybe he's not Mexican enough to be popular using that style or something, I dunno.

                    That was the only time Funeka took diaretics he has made weight plenty of times before and went through the exact same tests.

                      I dont dislike him at all....he's good for the game and if the game had more P-Dubs then certain scraps would've been signed by now.....Bob Arum wouldn't dare throw Paul's name up on some website with a countdown next to it WITHOUT that challenge being accepted...nah, not Paul!!!.....I just think he's not as good as some dudes say....I dont think he beats Floyd, Pacquiao(the weight would be too low and Pac would beat the dog **** outta him), Hopkins, Martinez, or Dzinziruk.....like some cats have been sayin...thats all!!
