Has anybody done less, but asked for more than Paul Williams?

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Undisputed CW champ of the world has to count for something right?

if you think that warrants trying to call the shot at HW, then i guess...

"All of this while he possessed every single physical advantage possible over every opponent he has ever faced."

So what? If you ACTUALLY watch him fight you can clearly see he RARELY uses those advantages. Ever.

Yes Burner, I've never seen Paul Williams fight.

Yes Burner, I've never seen Paul Williams fight.

So why did you throw that at the end of your post like it was the final straw when you "know" he RARELY even uses his advantages and comes to fight.

i don't think he was trying to call the shots. he's just a big mouth ***** when it comes to the 'kos.

[BlowMe!]

I mean I realize that in this day and age of Manny Pacquiao and such, it's expected for marginal fighters to get a shot at the top guys in the sport, but can someone explain to me what Paul Williams has done besides craft the greatest myth in boxing.

He beat Antonio Margarito. Barely. He got his ass whooped by Quintana. Avenged it, but 13 rounds to dispose of that bum? Got his ass whooped by Martinez. Robbed him. Got his ass beat by Kermit Cintron until Kermit took a page from Bernard Hopkins.

All of this while he possessed every single physical advantage possible over every opponent he has ever faced.

Paul Williams. I'm not a fan.

Paul Williams...what hasn't he done? At 147, he faced everybody he could, so what if he has a gripe against Floyd...Floyd doesn't pay any attention to him...then and now. Williams has always asked for the big fights, it's just within him, that hunger to achieve faster than the opportunity makes itself available. I thoroughly enjoy PWill, he's a scrappy guy, his physical abilities show lots of promise (I'm just sayin, he can define some parts of his game). Williams should, however, focus more on Martinez for the moment. The best thing Williams can do is win this fight convincingly - that's a statement nobody can knock. If Williams is to lose, well....he's gonna have to pick himself up again and make his way up through some of the other guys at 154/160.

I mean what has he asked for?

A big money fight? What fighter hasnt?

You know I love you NC Im all about Big Blue just like you are but come on man, you gotta have ***ing fans to ask for a big money fight. You cant draw a dozen people to your fight and go around saying "I want 5 million for my next fight even though nobody knows who the *** i am and i have the personality of a sloth!"

[Shattered Jaw]

Having a seemingly limitless amounts of energy, a very good chin and having an extremely long reach are attributs that are impossible NOT to use.

Some people make out Williams doesn't use his advantages at all which is clearly bull****. If he did that then he'd throw 30 punches a round and fall over whenever someone hit him.

It's funny, I feel the same way about Celestino Caballero...

Edit: I give this thread 30 seconds before we get the Juanma/Gamboa ducked him speech...

Yep. Caballero. Other than Caballero, Williams.

Funny thing is, just like Williams, Caballero has a height/reach advantage over most (if not all) his opponents at his weight class.

A little harsh bruh! P. Williams deserves a big fight IMO, he' very entertaining cause he keeps throwing punches, n i dnt knw wat you are talkn bout he got killed by Martinez, i personally had P. Williams by a round, but it could hav gone either way. An u talk about Paul losing to Carlos Quintana, do you know who Rustico Torrecampo is? If not he KO'd Manny to giv him his first loss, wat im sayn is that it dont matter who u lose too but how you come back an who u beat afterwards.

[Mr. Fantastic]

One thing I do give Williams major props in is that he fights every style it seems. Doesn't just stick to one that is very beatable like other boxers.
