Rewatching Paul Williams vs Walter Matthysse classic

[Ben_London]

I love this fight, I'm not sure Williams will be like this ever again but this was a classic bout.

Williams showed an iron chin in that fight, Matysse is a ****er aswell, just like his brother......

2 undefeated fighters,2 up'n comers 1 great ****ing fight.

Williams has sure given us some classic fights.

I dont know how people could watch that fight and actually believe Williams would be great in all these divisions. You can tell from then, he was a KO waiting to happen.

Totally forgot about Walter Matthysse....

Man that Cintron knockout was terrible. I think Walter is retired now.

lol I remember that fight also, it is actually pathetic that Williams defense hasn't improved AT ALL since then and he never really learned how to really use that size/reach advantage

I always thought Emmanuel Steward would be the perfect trainer for him a guy that has a TON OF EXPERIENCE with TALLER/LONG FIGHTERS

but one thing about Williams, once he figures you out and find his rhythm in a fight...he can be flat out UNSTOPPABLE, but I would like to see A LITTLE MORE DEFENSE and/or at least a little more head movement

Man that Cintron knockout was terrible. I think Walter is retired now.

It's crazy how a weak mental game can turn a fighter with that much talent into a laughing stock.
