Paul is class act. I'm still behind him 100 percent. Dude didn't make it this far by accident. Hearns and Lenox took bad ko's also. Hopefully this will make him come back a better boxer. I don't think many fighters could shake off a perfect punch like that. We've seen Paul take some hard shots, so it's not a question of a weak chin. Paul Williams will be back. I don't see him as a soft boxer.
Yes I was talking about Margaritos chances last week but that has nothing to do with this fight, the only thing that Margarito has to do with this fight is the fact that Williams ducked a rematch after he won a close UD, then turns around and some how ends up winning a fight against Martinez in which we all knew he didnt, but to make things worse Williams ended up getting knocked out by a guy Margarito knocked out....
Unfortuanetly for Williams,his style is his own worst enemy,when you continue to give up your physical advantages thats what can happen to you,and it has nothing to do with his chin or fighting at middleweight.He gives up leverage,defense,quickness and recovery time,its dissapointing i wish Manny Stewerd had him when he was young,he could have been a great fighter,the great thing about him and guys like Hearns they have a short memory like a great quarterback,but as long as he fights the way he does what happened to him will always be a possibility.
Pauls gonna be back....The guy is a throw back fighter. He's LOOKING for the best and wanting to test himself.. WIN, LOSE or DRAW. You gotta respect that. When you are a fighter like Paul who fights the best opposition out there or at least TRIES...there are gonna be times where you lose. Just b/c he got caught with a great shot in a fight that he was swinging for the fences from JUMP...doesn't mean he's shot...got a glass jaw or whatever else some of these clowns are saying. This may be a blessing in disguise....Paul has had a really hard time getting anyone to face him aside from Sergio....maybe this loss might make some of those Jr MW's and WW's a little more brave. I love Paul...he's a P4P fighter without question. He deserves respect and he's a class act.
