My bad. Yeah Paul Williams def. fell short of what his backers were predicting. Have you seen CW Aaron Williams yet? He does look to be the goods.
He "looks" to be really something. Very fast, great movement, combined with nasty power. Can't wait to see him step it up to really see what he's got.
Good. I'll keep my ears to the ground then. I would like to add a decent British prospect coming through the ranks capable of gaining a world belt but we have not got one.
You know...this thread proves one glaring thing. The ANTI-AMERICAN sentiment on this site is 1000x worse than the pro-US one. I have heard that everyone in the US picked Lacy...but if you twits were on here at the time, there were PLENTY of US posters picking Calzaghe by WIDE UD (myself included). Yes it was the minority, but it existed. The problem with that fight was, Joe was never really on US TV...Lacy was all over it...and winning impressively. So for someone to feel Joe would win, they would have had to seek out videos of him to really get a handle on how good he really is (I checked out a vid of his fight with Eubank just after the fight happened on advice of a friend who had seen it...and I have been a fan ever since). This was more of an exposure issue than a nationalistic one (though there are some idiots on this side of the pond that feed into that mess as well). But that fact doesnt fit into the arguement of the morons like Arran who thrive on spounting xenophobic bull**** with every one of their posts (really has he ever made a NON-nationalistic post??? He makes CHJ look like George freakin Washington). This type of **** is one of the reasons I dont frequent this site like I used to. Everytime I come here, even just to troll, I see some idiot putting up a post about overhyped americans....or overhyped euros....and then 50 more idiots will keep the garbage alive (more so if its about an american hype job) this is a BOXING forum, not some ****ing soapbox for you to scream your obsenities across the pond. I come here to talk about boxing. If you want to talk about other bull****...there are two places you can go. 1- go to the lounge....2- go **** yourself. You pricks are ruining this forum.
