Less than 2 years ago P. Williams was gonna beat everybody..

[BKM-2010]

And now everybody is urging him to retire so he won't get damaged for life. Crazy how fast time goes.
It really was like yesterday when there were all those hyped threads with people claiming Williams would spank Mayweather, Pac etc.

[V.WEBB]

I've never thought ANY of this. At all.

[-PANDA-]

he was never that good to me

a great conditioned tall volume puncher with a long reach...but he never showed exceptional skill and the ability to adapt

"He never stops punching, people can't handle his volume output, his chin is too strong, he's too big and strong, etc."

Boxing still shows skills are the most important. But when Boxing shows something, it is in the most cruel manner possible.

Paul Williams was a relentless beast...he was on top of my list. The problem is that people have found the way to beat him. He fights the same. People are so quick to discredit a guy

[Las Vegas,]

I never thought highly of Paul. Ever.

However this is a clear example of 2 things.

1)Those saying knockout losses don't effect people are crazy.
2)****wagon jumpers aren't real fans. They jump on whatever's hot and down play whatever is not.

this^^^^^^^^^^

at no point did I ever think Williams would/could beat Pacquiao or Floyd.

I've always said that with the way Williams drops his hands and leans forward when coming in (said this prior to the Martinez fights) that Manny would probably TKO/KO him.

It's easy to see that now.....but I saw that **** even back then (post Cotto and Clottey fights).

I saw it after his fight against Margarito.

Williams was always too flawed to beat anyone high on the P4P list...very bad defense, when he fatigues he starts slapping, comes in with his guard open, one dimensional, etc.

Makes so many mistakes and his fight strategy (if it is strategy) is ALL wrong...

You guys gotta remember, Pwill has a HUGE height/reach/weight advantage(10lb+ on fightnight) against everyone, its like Wlad/Vitali cutting down to LHW/CW and being unhealthy just to pick on midgets.

This guy was a few weight classes bigger than Lara & ALL his opponents and still got schooled. I said it long ago and Ill say it now, the only reason Pwill has ever won was because he kills himself to unhealthy amounts of BodyFat% so he can pick on midgets and he has a HUGE Height/Reach/Weight advantage on fight night against ALL his opponents, he needs to get a new trainer, gain 20-30lb of solid muscle mass and start doing real boxing exercizes.

Its sad when you have all the advantages and you are getting schooled then you are happy you won, but dont worry, the whole world knows Lara won. Lara's stock went up and Pwill's went down. Pwill is like Devon Alexander, needs bribed judges to win
