    Let's break down this statement seeing as how people are having trouble comprehending what Kellerman was trying to get across.

    "Built like Tommy Hearns" - This simply means that Williams is tall and lanky. This much is obvious, it doesn't take skill to be tall an lanky. Saying 6 '2 fighter with an 81 inch reach is built like Hearns is not pumping them up, it's called giving an accurate description

    "Stance like Pernell Whitaker" - All he's saying here is that Williams is lefthanded, just like Whitaker. Again, it takes not skill to be lefthanded. Saying that someone is lefthanded is not pumping them up, it's giving an accurate description of their handedness.

    "Throws punches to the body like Julio Cesaer Chavez" - This is the only statement where Kellerman is actually making a statement about Williams' skill level. Now he's no Chavez, but he sure as hell was doing a great job of committing to the body against Phillips.

    I really like Williams but no doubt Kellerman is a bit exagerating

    Lol

    Valuev is the combination of Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis and Larry Holmes. He's a righty like Ali, fights tall as Lewis and has a jab in his arsenal just like Holmes.

    You still don't hear this statement every day.

    Kellerman is an unprofessional fanboy. He was virtually sobbing by the middle of the Jones-Calz fight after stating in the 2nd round that "Roy is making Calzaghe look like a washed-up Felix Trinidad". Lol.

    This sort of **** comes up ALL the time, because Kellerman is, hands down, the worst commentator in boxing. And why wouldn't he be?? Alone among boxing commentators, he never worked as a boxing journalist or participant. What he knows about the sport doesn't fill up the head of a pin. He is blatantly unqualified, having been plucked from obscurity by his daddy's buddy Bill Cayton and put on ESPN. And now, he's ruining HBO's telecasts.

    It's well established that Goosen sent Arum a firm offer of $4 million to fight Williams. The offer letter and rejection letter have even been made public.

    Kellerman is an idiot. He also said Glass Jaw Roy Jones would beat Joe Frazier and that Zab Judah was Sweet Pea with deadly power. Kellerman is one of the worst nuthuggers in Boxing today.

    Just call him glass jaw Jones.

    And RJJ would have a possibility to beat frazier with his prime speed, reflexes and power. He just better not get hit by the left. He has the natural ability, but if that left connects...

    Even worse I thought was the nuthugging of Chris Arreola after his fight. First they said he was one of the best heavyweight prospects in the world - LOL. Then later, one of them (I forget if it was Kellerman or Papa) said something to the effect, "earlier, Chris Arreola dominated Travis Walker..." Um, yeah, if you didn't watch the first round-and-a-half of the fight, he did. :lol:
