Paul Williams After Rematch with Sergio Martinez Interview

[Doctor_Tenma]

Man, Paul Williams is so humble. Why do people hate on him so much?

I swear, Paul gets a lot of unwarranted hate.


Anyway, to me, Paul isn't gonna be affected by this mentally. I think he'll come back strong.

[Crazylegs77]

He is humble in defeat and in wins. He respects all of his opponents. He'll fight anyone from 147-160, any style. There's literally no reason to hate on him. People who hate on him just wanna get Burner riled up, either that or they're not big fans of black fighters.

To be honest I lost respect for him lately with declining the 2nd fight offer with Pavlik asking for 50/50 then Martinez catchweight demands and wanting more $$ than th MW champ..to fight for his belts. Other than that I agree he is humble in defeat etc etc etc

Williams handles his loss like a man and comes to fight everytime. Guys like him are good for boxing.

Yeah, any hate for Williams is definitely a product of his fans and, more specifically, Burner.

While I don't like Paul's style of fighting too much I am still a fan. He brings his all to every fight and never backs down from a challenge. If all fighters adopted that sort of attitude the sport would be a great deal better off.

Pavlik pulled out of a fight with Williams twice.

Pacquiao is being praised as a top 10 ATG and #1 P4P because of catchweight title wins over Cotto and Margarito. I have seen you praise Pacquiao, despite this. Why not praise Williams too? Catchweight fights seem to lead to ATG status so i think every fighter should do it.

Bottomline there should be NO hate on Paul. He aint make no excuses, and is ready and willing to get in there again with the very same man who starched him out in two. Plus he's willing to bring the fight like always. Paul Williams is a class act, and still one of my favorite Boxers.

Well said... Came to fight and had no excuses

Amen. He's the anti-Allan Green. He'll be back and (hopefully) better because of this. Hell, it's the way the cookies crumbles sometimes, nuhmsayin. No shame losing to a top 3 p4p guy. I just hope he actually takes the chance to learn a lesson, and maybe consider working with Manny Steward.

I completely agree. This loss might've been the best thing for him. I bet he never drops his right while throwing a left again. Paul's offense is a thing of beauty. His defense on the other hand is/was attrocious, but thats what made/makes him exciting. Paul Williams is a FIGHTER, and we will see him again.

It's funny how he's been saying he's a WW, and everybody's been ripping him for it, but we just saw him get starched by a full-fledged MW(Yes, Sergio is NOW a FF MW, not to mention Paul took the punches of a possible plaster-handed Margo for 12 rds and got the W). I dont see anyone commending Paul for champaigning out of his weight division for the past 2 1/2 years.

So since I haven't seen anyone give Paul his props for that, I'll do it. Paul Williams will rebound, he's got alot of people rooting for him, and I'm rooting harder than I ever have rooted for him before.

[Porter's Dad]

Odd thing happens when it comes to boxing; I come to like a fighter more once they lose.

Laughing at Burner's hurt aside, no-one should have a reason to crap on Paul.
