**Paul "the Punished" Williams

well to me it seemed most of esb thought carlos was going to be a tough customer, but didnt predict the win. So its not like they flocked to paul williams as much as you think. A lot of people on here werent sold on paul, like me, due to his lack of defense,his lack of punching power, and his lack of skill really.

 

HYPROCRITE, you go with what you read to, you read about what PBF says and does, and totally disreguard all of his accomplishments and his boxing skills. Either you just dont know anything about boxing, or your an idiot, take your pick :good

 

I completely overhyped Paul Williams and I will openly admit my mistake.

Paul refused to defend himself, and I believe a bunch of those hard left hands whacking him across the right cheek may have cost him the judges opinion.

Paul for some reason abandoned his workrate, thus giving Quintana a chance to get inside his jab and set up for those straight lefts and left hooks.
vs. Margarito, the punches never stopped coming, vs Quintana the punches never came.

I think the biggest thing about last night that we learned about PW is that his style and natural abilities are not effective against a person that is quick and moves well. Quintana isnt even that fast, but he presented a style of lateral movement that PW hadnt seen in the likes of Mummy's and Bull rushers he had faced in Matysse, Mitchell, and Margorito. Of course when someone is coming right for you you can throw tons of punches, but last night, Quintana exposed Paul in the aspect that he could not turn his big frame fast enough to lay tons of punches on a man who moves laterally, quickly.


I am a big williams fan because I have met him and he is a real nice guy. I believe he has tons of natural ability and potential, But as honest as I can be, we saw last night that he is nowhere near prepared yet for the likes of a Cotto or Mayweather, or even a Mosley like some people had been talking about.

 

here check this thread out titled "Kermit the Frog leaping from his potential nemesis, THE PUNISHER...", i rebumped it up after last night, but on there you can see alot of posters seeing carlos either winning or giving paul a tough fight. and this was back in january. I dont think many people wrote of carlos like you think.

 

He started to punish his own reputation when he struggled with Pakau..

I think he is half the fighter that they make him out to be, similariries with Hearns has to stop here..

 

Yes!

 

He didnt struggle with Pakau..after the fight he admitedd he didnt want to hurt him..because Pauls a good dude..he spent the whole fight looking at Cortez wondering when he was going to stop it..get your facts staright.

 

I thought both guys looked bad last night. Wililams wasn't working and quintana looked sloppy and tired and clinchy the whole fight.

 

I agree sorta. Was a sloppy fight. But you know what isn't sloppy? That avatar. Great pic!!:thumbsup

 

Orishaman dude, you are immature. You keep telling people that they should know boxing, many people pick their favorites, its better than you who only picks puerto rican fighters and against pretty boy floyd. ok, you laid one fight plan out, what about the baldo fight, what about the hatton fight, hindsight is 20/20 emmanual.

 

If you watched the Mitchell fight..you could EASILY see Mitchell was getting off on Paul at times..and he was a south paw.

Orishman is a dumb guy who said" Baldi will muscle floyd".
