    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).
    ^^^^ Yup .. Paul is fun to watch.. but

      Didn't come out right I think. I meant he would have ended up outboxed or ko'd against guys like Pac and Floyd.

        I hate how people are laughing it up at Pauls expense its crap considering Paul gave EVERYTHING he had to the sport we love.
        Because, turns out, Paul simply wasn't as good as people thought he was.

        His size and output would have been an issue but looking back it wouldn't have been anything the couldn't handle. They didn't want to fight him, no one did. Not his fault.

        I'm not laughing at Paul Williams' expense. Like I said, I like Paul Williams, he's a throwback fighter.

        He just wasn't as good as everyone once thought.
