Danny Williams 99.9%

For a heavyweight, yes, he does(did) possess a greater skill set than 90% of the big guys around right now.

Skill alone gets you nowhere though.

 

If Danny had footwork and more workrate he'd be a better fighter at Euro level but that bulks messed him up.

Got a lot of bottle and heart though.

 

i am a fan of his but he must drive his followers mad with his inconsistant performances, sometimes he turns up in shape and boxing well and at other times he looks awful but all together he can be proud of his achievements , no doubt!!!!!

 

agreed!!!!!:thumbsup

 

Audley absolutely took Williams apart! Having said that he did take the fight at short notice.

 

thanks for sorting my confusion out... I just thought it was because Mcdermot has a decent uppercut and actually used it in the 5th round. A punch that Williams is massively susceptable to as proven by Klitshko, Samil Sam and Tyson (before the fourth).

 

danny needs to get back down to 230lbs.

 

im a big fan of williams,
but he was doing the james toney thing all wrong. its very basic and he over does it. mcdermott was scared to throw cos danny was so low down that he would have risked it by reaching.
he simply isnt as versatile as toney, he is quite rigid. but yes i agree he can fight! and i hope he wins a world title soon

 

go take a hike to the nearest cliff and jump!!!!

 

DW is finished, he has shown nothing in terms of skill in his last half dozen fights and relied on lucky KO punches to win. He is abosrbing too much and is no prime Tyson when it comes to KO power.

 

He was always the best British heavyweight on the scene. Far more capable than Sprott, Harrison or the Human Mudslide. His bludgeoning of Scott Gammer was impressive but he doesn't seem to have the mindset or dedication needed to prevail above Euro level.

Having questioned his mentality however he has shown tremendous heart on occasion. Getting up to take more bombs from Vitali Klitschko was plain nuts.

I cannot see Danny enhancing his career any further now though. In terms of challenging the top guys in the division forget about it.

 

Danny at best could have a top 10 European level fighter. He never showed any glimpses of going to world class or to genuine world top 10 ratings. The guy has been very over rated during his career because of a few good performances against poor opposition and the fact that guys like Skelton and Williams have appeared at a similar time. Harrison had far better skill and could have gone further where as Skelton has showed himself to be better than Williams.

 

I didn't see Skelton's fight with Chageav which many seem to believe he gave a good account of himself in but the rest of his career has been an affront to pugilism imo.

He may be effective but he makes Hatton look like Ray Leonard.
