    PWill has so many holes in his game, but the one thing I definitely respect about him is the fact that he brings hell everytime out, or close to every time.

    Hes forcing himself to fight his opponents fights though, they're not drawing him in to fight theirs, he's coming in willingly, and that takes away from his talent. If he were to adapt a more classical stance, try to use his jab, really pivot and use his leverage for the left hook, he'll have a full arsenal of attacks from the outside.

    Due to the fact that he willingly steps out of his own stance to give the shorter fighters an advantage, I think he'll pay bigtime sooner or later. His head movement isn't really superior, he's bobbing and weaving, thats different, he should be sliding with punches and try to use his range.

    He has good head movement, he rolls with punches, but he does a fair bit of bobbing and weaving, designed for the smaller fighter coming from underneath.

    He's playing right into the counterpunchers game whilst bobbing and weaving, like Martinez proved so brilliantly.

    I wasn't disputing anything except he does roll with punches. I'm a fan of PW and I have said numerous times he fights too short!! If he were to fight like a Wlad or Vitali Klitschko people would be saying he's boring!!!!!:huh

    I don't see it either. He lost to Martinez and Quintana. I didn't see any improvements from one fight to the other really.

    Floyd is boring too, but he's making 20x the money Paul is making on average.

    Paul has the ability, but fights his opponents fights, that's not what I would call a master at the art of war.

    I had Martinez ahead aswell. :think

    I though it was scored correctly or I wouldn't be upset if it was a draw!!


    Floyd knows how to market himself! Most people pay to see him lose!!!

    I can stretch for a draw, I think that's understandable because Martinez simply didn't do all that much offensively.

    Although, on clean punches, accuracy.. I think Martinez gave him a lesson.
