Paul Williams - What, Why and How!

I agree that he needs to prove himself at MW. He looks ordinary.

 

Paul Williams is the most ovverrated fighter in the history of this sport. This guy is Wlads size and what???He even cannot use his size advantage properly. He's got no skill only size .Maravilla is way way more skiled


Williams in terms of p4p lists which should take into considaration skills technique etc, but no size, is way way lower then top 10

 

You are not alone, I dont have him in my top10 too

 

Well the Martinez fight was very close. Even though you feel Martinez won, Paul got the decision and came away with the win. Even if he lost on the decision, his par performance level in the fight with Martinez would suggest he should be of synonymous world rankings (p4p list).

Didn't bother watching the Cintron fight, I don't think anyone should infer anything at all from that farce.

Personally, I'm not a fanboy and don't think he's anything too special but I wouldn't start throwing much overused terms around just yet. Wait and see how he performs next, he's not found himself in his position by being bad, that's just impossible.

Guys got a few question marks around him, that's all...

 

Quantify it to me and convince me.

Quantification:

1. Record 39-1 (27ko)

2. Defeated; 3 lb. for lb. top 10 fighters; Wright, Margarito, Martinez (Martinez, Margo. controversial, yet hand raised at end of fight.)

3. Held titles; welterweight 3 years, jr. middleweight 3 months

4. Being ducked; the two best fighters in his division, who also happen to be two best fighters in the world want no part of him. Other titleholders, Berto, Mosley have also turned down fights.

5. Revenge!; avenged only loss with 1st round KO.

6. Excitement; always gives the fans a good brawl.

7. Willingness; one victory over good middleweight journeyman (kolle) plans to fight established middlewight star (Pavlik) scrapped twice by injury.

For the most part I think PW is overrated as well, when he came up people said that he was the next Thomas Hearns, and he would not have lasted 3 rounds with the hitman, but to say that he is not one of the 20 best fighters in the world is ludicrous.

 

A guy called C. Quintana gave him a comprehensive boxing lesson for a whole 12 rds., what else can I say.........

 

Fair post :good I will wait to rank him, but now I cant put him in my top10.

 

I wasn't shocked at all about Dawson. I knew he didn't belong on the p4p list.

Pwill belongs in the lower p4p list just based off the fact that he has fought top competition and they have all been close fights. Nobody has dominated him yet.

 

I can't really say most overated ever. I thing he's very good boxer. I also think he's a victim of the sport. He's beaten everybody he's faced. In 07 he was hot but then was black balled in a way. So he got hyped for a bit but still hasn't landed as big a fight as he would like. He fought Martinez before Martinez beat pavlik. Pavlik had doubts about fighting him. He beat Margarito before the Cotto fight. So he should get some credit. I don't know how you could truly layout a p4p any # and not have questions.

 

He also made him look like a young M. Tyson!!
