Comments Thread For: Canelo Not Intimidated: Paul Williams Talks Going Well

[BoxingGenius27]

I would really like Canelo-Kirkland instead, but this is better than Canelo-Quintana.

I actually thought Williams was going to retire after the Lara fight, but hey.

Williams isn't what he use to be, but I think he will still give Canelo problems.

It's not the fight that I wanted, but it's good for starters.

I won't trash Canelo for this fight like I have for his others. It's a start.

WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (40-0-1, 29KOs) may receive a very tall order for his September title defense – in the form of 6’3 Paul “The Punisher” Williams (41-2, 27KOs). There are very positive discussions taking place, says Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, to finalize Alvarez-Williams as a pay-per-view headliner for September 15th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Canelo's team is staying true to form by matching him with an opponent on the downside. Until he fights a live, prime opponent on the way up, he will remain a champion by name only.

Im a huge Williams fan but I think all 3 guys beat him. I think Canelo is a very bad matchup for Williams at this point and will batter him

Because from now on canelo will only be fighting shot over the hill damaged goods fighter with big names. He will rarely face other young strong threats. It's all about the money now

It's going to be very interesting to see how his career goes from here. He already has 40 pro fights. He's a welterweights height but weight wise he should be a middle or super middle

not first choice but pwill not a push over. nice start on his way to a megafight but still too many dudes worthy of a look prior to then... mandingo lara shiet Quintana as well...

Williams loses a decision

[-PBP-]

How is somebody shot by losing to the #3 pound for pound fighter in the world and one of the most avoided fighters in the game today?

Jermain Taylor is shot. Shane Mosley is shot.

Paul Williams is the same Paul Williams he's always been. 1,000 plus punches a fight leaving himself open for vicious counter overhand lefts.

Flawed and shot aren't the same thing.

Paul Williams is damaged goods. Clearly knocked out by Martinez & everyone knows he actually lost the fight that the judges had him winning. Paul Williams is a shot fighter. He's definitley not the fighter he was 5 or 6 years ago. Canelo will beat him down worse than he beat Mosely. They say Paul is active in the ring. Yes, he throws more meaningless punches trying to impress the judges to win rounds. He hasn't had a knockout in ages. Canelo throws every punch with knockout on his mind. Paul Williams should follow Shane Mosely into retirement and not get ktfo by this kid, because that's what's gonna happen shoud they fight.

So Williams is shot cause he got knocked out and had a tough fight with Lara???damn boxing fans these days are a trip

Canelo should come out as a southpaw and finish the night quick.

[willieb24]

Oh, dont worry Golden Boy n Company will pay Pwill to lose this fight...Too risky dangerous for Canelo

[DLT]

Canelo should come out as a southpaw and finish the night quick.

it actually wouldnt be a bad idea to practice some of that if things arent going well
