I've put a Danny round up from last year - see sticky thread
Love for Danny Williams

He beat Tyson, big deal. So did Buster Douglas. Tyson is nowhere near the fighter he used to be. He has really run out of gas as a fighter. If you get out of the first 3 rounds with him, I don't care if you're Lennox Lewis or Kali Meehan, you got a hell of a shot against Tyson.Originally posted by BrooklynBomberYou are to harsh on Danny boy, sensation. atleast he fights and does not perform ****sexual acts of love with his opponents like Ruiz. And hey if some guy like Beck is rated #4 by WBC why not have Williams fight with the big boys. I would give him another shot. Golota for example has gotten three in a raw.Comment

danny williams is a decent fighter from what i've seen of him over the last few years!
the mark potter fight was the making of him, dislocated shoulder fighting through the pain barrier with one arm and knocking the guy clean out.
straight after that fight he blows out the undefeated kali meehan in one minute, the man starts looking like a class fighter with a future then bammm!!
he fights sinan samil sam a decent but limited fighter gets stopped and the problems start.
the excuses came pouring out after the fight of how he had shingles and was'nt feeling good mentally.
but i ask anybody who has seen all since of danny's fights since julius francis or potter one question;was he ever the same after sam?
in most of his fights since then he always looked distracted like against keith long and the second fight with sprott when he was so frustrated that he kept punching sprott in the crown ***els!
when the tyson fight was made i had big hopes for danny not because he was a world class fighter who just had bad luck but because i knew he would'nt get blown out in a round or two because of his massive heart.
i bet big on danny for that fight and was the joke of the workplace for saying he would beat tyson,and as we know danny took out a near shot tyson to shock the world!!
but when he fought vitali everybody who wanted danny to beat tyson forgot about the long fight and the other fights in between and thought he was the next lennox lewis.
i'll admit that i had hopes for him against vitali because of the way vitali ran from sander's power but the fact still remains danny can be very ponderous and at times lazy in the ring and it showed with his non start.
on the plus side he has heart we all know that now even the people who were calling him a bum!!
he can even be fast handed and fast footed when he is focused enough and most of all he has some power.
imo out of the other three champions there is only brewster who he could beat but even that would be a close points verdict.
john ruiz would frustrate the hell out of danny with his holding and danny would get disqualified for punching on the break or below the belt.
chris byrd would just be too slick for danny and would knick it with his jab and move.
that is my honest opinion and i have been a danny fan for years.Comment

Danny Williams will get at least one more televised fight in the US. He is neither a God for knocking out Mike Tyson nor a bum for getting killed by VK.
He is going to be around for a few years as a litmus test for up and coming heavyweights, like TOS.Comment

TOS?
I hope Danny gets another chance to fight at that level, just to show whether or not he is capable of mixing in with that company. (Before a Rahman fan joins in - it only took Danny 32 seconds to do a job against Meehan)
Beating a shot Tyson and getting beat by a clearly-better-than-his-peers-and-improving-all-the-time Klitschko fails to answer either question.Comment
