It's times like these I miss a prime Punisher.

[IronDanHamza]

Did he bring the tread down?? Now make no mistake, even I knew Lara beat the Punisher. However they did fight and the Punisher was not prime. Therefore as the tread title states and the fact that he did fight Lara goes, My points still stand and he's brought nothing down.

It did a little bit because he avoided the Lara rematch when it was obvious there should have been a rematch.

With rumors swirling about pitting Khan against Floyd and Ward desperately seeking a worthless Chavez jr fight, I find myself seriously missing my bwoy the Punisher. Win lose or draw, the Punisher ducked no man and when he won, he looked for the next mountain to climb.

Tis sad times for me now. Where will the next Paul Williams come from. I cannot wait.

Paul Williams was an extraordinary talent, he could fight anywhere from welterweight to middleweight...and he was 6 feet tall. Terrific fighter, a friendly and warm human being outside of the ring, it's just sad he never got that big Floyd Mayweather fight. It is also sad that he blew his biggest shot against Martinez by going in gung ho and succumbing to a beautiful hook.

I hope he has a full recovery.

Lara was coming off a draw with Molina which many thought he lost. It was a cherry pick that backfired.

Williams was well on his way to becoming exactly what you complain about. Enough of the revisionist history.

No he didn't, not even a little bit. Because the Punisher that fought Lara was far removed from his prime.

So sayeth the guy that thought/thinks Amir Khan was the best fighter 140. That's straight up delusional.

I'm not denying Mayweather or Pacquiao wanted no parts of Prime Williams in his prime at WW. Too much risk, not nearly enough $$$ for them to even consider it.

I say it mostly because posters love to say Cotto ducked Paul Williams and that's an outright lie. Made me expose my hidden agenda.

Cotto ducked Williams no two ways about it. Guess who the mandatory for the Williams belt (WBO) at 147 was for 2 years? Yeah Miguel Cotto and guess what happen when Williams got frustrated and dump the belt and move up when Cotto didn't enforce his mandatory status? Yeah Miguel Cotto came out and fought Jennings for the vacate belt.. So Miguel Cotto isn't no saint.

Sure..... if the Punisher who fought Lara is considered prime by you, I'd agree. Must have been his best year that one then huh?? (Revisit tread title). That is all.

I like Williams but HE HAD TO FIGHT EVERYONE..he was trying to make a name for himself...Floyd and Ward went thru that already...Floyd went thru 5 weight classes and Ward just won the super 6.....
