Paul Williams had a large segment of the boxing community SHOOK.

All that bullshit he rambled on about, and THIS is what you have an issue with?

Yes, because every one of Floyd's fans think he is the perfect angel and never avoided any threats at 147.

exactly my point so there is no need for anyone to say martinez isnt ducking anyone.....lets be proud of his last performance and hopefuly paul can get back up on that horse.

[ThePunchingBag]

Paul has always been overrated.

What he lacked in boxing skills he made up for in freakish physical proportions.

That only got him so far though.

Sergio's skill outmatched Paul's size and Paul paid the price.

[Stigma]

I'll agree that Williams represented the classic case of "all-risk, no reward" but I never thought he was tremendously skilled.

His physique, which he has no right to claim credit for, and his volume are what gave people pause. He's not a KO puncher like Hearns, and he's no technician either. He just throws a lot, and has physical advantages over almost every opponent he can be matched against. He was never a world-beater, and he won't be going forward. He's a unique challenge, that's it.

(Why are we talking about him in the past tense, anyway? Did he die after the rematch and I missed the headline?)
