    The Punches Paul Williams Were throwing would have knocked the average man out...

    its unfair to say paul williams was just flicking punches at margaritios face... margarito doesnt have any feeling in his face what so ever

    proven in the paul williams fight and the cotto fight

    watch any parts of the fight.. paul william was giving marg some good shots.. marg just eats everythign

    I think Williams's activity just made people say he won more clearly and by a wider margin than he did.

    He did miss a lot, but I still thought Paul won 7 rounds.

    im not arguing that.... cotto hit marg with more flush punches definitely...

    but if anything thats a tribute to margarito's chin...

    basically itll take a lot to ko him...

    for what paul williams has to offer though.... he threw everythign at the kitchen sink at margarito and it wasnt like calzaghe or something...
    most boxers who faced paul williams on the night he faced margarito would have gotten knocked out... thats all im saying

    I had Paul winning at least 8 (9 at the most) rounds of the fight.

    Yes people need to give Williams his props he is a very versatile fighter and he won the Margarito fight clearly.

    i think i had him winning by 3... but at the time of the fight i was scared as ****... usually when i watch my favorite boxers fight in real time... they wind up losing.. its basically my lucky charm to watch the fight after its over with if its one of my favorite fighters

    The hell with Margarito. He didn't have the decency to shake Williams hand after the fight. He's a poor sport.

    yeah as a big paul williams fan that pissed me off... in the clip i posted... if you watch after the fight paul williams goes str8 to marg for a hug and marg doesnt show him any honor at all.

    i mean not that he needs to or anything... but i thought it was a little unprofessional seeing how pretty much every boxer either shake hands or hug after the fight

    Paul won at least 5 of the first 6 rounds,he won the 9th and 12th clearly so this is not one of those fights that can go either way.
