Enjoy Paul Williams While You Can...

:deal

 

Thomas Hearns was a crowd pleaser and he had a long career with many fights after his wars with Leonard and Hagler and Roldan and the rest. I am not sure being a crowd pleaser means a short career. If they take beating consistently it does, but some guys did fight wars and still have long careers. The key is to not have a tough fight every single time and recuperate. Hearns would recuperate since he would have nice knockouts in the next fight after a tough fight. Hearns toughest years was 1987-1989. He got rocked by Andries, but won easily. Then Roldan hurt him, then the next fight Barkley stopped him, then a few months later Kinchen knocked him down and almost stopped him, and in June of 1989 Leonard hurt him again, but he regrouped and wasn't hurt against Olajide or Virgil Hill. So it just matters if you are strong on the in inside.

 

Nothing wrong with Old Spice. I use it myself and give it to my friends as gifts at Xmas.

 

don't think it can be stated better, I still think he can be great, but as of now it doesn't look like he's learned anything from Quintana I

 

I hope Paul leaves Peterson and gets an elite trainer who can mold him into a prize ATG fighter instead of being an incredible crowd pleaser who doesn't attain all he could have.

 

He probably just doesn't sit on his punches enough. Maybe he needs greater distance to make use of his leverage on his punches. For example, Hearns wasn't a puncher when he started off, he was taught to be one. What Williams did to Quintana shows he is capable of such things if he sat on his punches a bit, keeping boxers at the right distance with a good jab.

 

And Pavlik with Crush the rock... who actually believe if Paul fights Kelly that he won't get hit? I heard some guys saying he won't get touched by Kelly...

So Paul Williams is going to bull a Bhop?

 

Kelly claims to have landed one flush on Bhop. A healthy Pavlik WILL land a flush one on Pdub.

 

About time!

 

I agree, but Hearns could fight going in either direction. The way Williams is fighting now doesn't make me believe he can do this. He can definitely have easier fights, but stepping in with a big puncher seems like it would cause career problems.

 

Williams is building scar tissue and as a result he's going to continue to get bad cuts. He's ****ed.

 

Hey he can give all the effort he wants, but until he uses his head a little better, he's not ****. That's not blind, that's a well educated "he's not ****". Pavlik, who I've lost MUCH respect for recently, would have murdered him. He didn't take Winky Wright's punches well AT ALL. I noticed that IMMEDIATELY. And Winky Wright is not a power puncher, just a middleweight that made it quickly apparent that Paul Williams cannot handle middleweight power. The first middleweight with the right combo of speed and power that Williams faces will end him.

 

He wasn't training or Martinez so the fight means nothing.

 

PW is fun to watch BUT he isn't as good as alot of people thinks and he is to easy to hit flush, i said this after watching him fight Mitchell, Margo, Quintana and Phillips. Unless he learns to stop blocking shots with his face, he won't beat Pavlik.

 

Paul gave us a fight of the year sure he could have used his height stayed away and boxed but he decided to give the fans a show.
Even though i though Martinez deserved the nod Paul also won me over with that gutsy performance.
