Give It A Rest, Paul Williams is NOT a "Slick" Fighter

[KittenFlaps]

Haha, I came back to the boards after a long absence just to see if the world bailed on Paul Williams. Gotta love boxing fans. Everyone is the best fighter till they lose a fight, then they were a bum all along.

P.will was slick until he got KO by martinez not he's not slick anymore lol.

BERTO? really? wth...

Like I said, I'm not saying one fighters style over the other is better, just that some people have trouble with a certain style. Im not saying that Berto is better than anyone because he is on that list, just that his style fits the description of a slick fighter that's why I put him on there.

[SOPH~ REP.]

Who said pwill was a slick fighter besides his size ,his heart and work rate was the only thing that defines him.bhop was talking bout boxers hard to hit ,known for their defense an not a mexican style toe to toe .

Nobody is saying PWill is not a great fighter. He got beat by one of the best fighters in the game, and when the best fight the best someones might go to sleep. I'm just saying that he does not fight in a slick style and that people should not use his loss as an reason to excuse Pacquiao.

Margarito did not bring anymore money than say a Berto would have. Now if we're talking more money for Arum than that's different. Now do I think Pac would have beaten Berto? Yes, but I feel it would have been more of a challenge than fighting a shot Margarito.

Pacquiao

If the PPV does well this time, you get paid more next time. Sure, Pacquiao could have been paid the same for fighting Berto or Margarito. However, that PPV doesn't draw well. At all. And the next check is what COULD suffer.

Especially if he faces Mayweather, who could use a bad PPV buy-rate as negotiating leverage.

Maybe it's more of a challenge, but Berto doesn't have the greatest chin and he's also not African American OR slick. He's Haitian and he squares himself up, doesn't use head movement or keep his hands up at all times. He also can get tripped up at times.

No fighter worth anything at the weight, besides Floyd Mayweather has a SLICK African American style of fighting, exists for Pacquiao.

Berto isn't slick. Quick, fairly impactful. Not really slick. Slick is Sergio Martinez, Lucian Bute, Devon Alexander at times, Ivan Calderon in his prime. Berto is a fast fighter with a decent punch.

he was a slick african american fighter until Sergio knocked him cold.

Exactly but people all over these boards are saying that him losing to Martinez somehow vindicates Pac and proves why Pac doesn't need to fight a slick African American fighter, when that doesn't even make sense to me because P-Will is not even a slick fighter.

Nobody was saying that Williams was slick, they were just saying that they wanted to see him fight Pac and that he would be a big challange. But now that he got his ass knocked out all the *****s are hiding behind" Williams was never a slickboxer" comment now that Williams is gonna be taken to the scrap heap.
