I'd definitely favor Paul Williams in this fight. Not sure Canelo is ready for that kind of pressure.
because PW got KO by martinez some people are already wrtting him off...but so did Lennon Lewis against Mc Call and still could come with a rematch and beat McCall and established himself as the most dominant HW of his time. PW is a world class boxer,make no mistake and if he didnt get mentally ****ed he will come back to win fights.
Who was Paul fighting when he was 20? Anyway, Williams hasn't had a fight @ 154lbs in a while now.... & Honestly he don't deserve a shot.
I guess Margarito deserved his payday vs Pac in November and Matthew Hatton did too. Better yet, how did cinnamon get his title at 20 by default?
Bad analogy in my opinion. Lennox Lewis had the skills to come back from that because him getting KOed in that fight wasn't necessarily a result of serious flaws or weaknesses in his skills. P-Dub on the other hand has poor defense, gets nailed flush way too much, and it was seriously just a matter of time before he got KOed. I honestly think that if Cintron wasn't such a *****, he probably could have gotten Paul outta there.
If Alvarez beat Paul Williams, I would become a believer in him. Can't see it happening though, let alone the match-up.
