They were scheduled to fight, but the accident happened and then Ortiz was the replacement but Josesito happened. Canelo was too compact, and quick for Williams. Slow Margarito almost beat him, some had it a draw.
Would have been a hell of a fight if they had fought back in 2012, no doubt The Punisher would have had a chance of winning.
I doubt it bro. Carlos Quintana a contender beat outboxed him and Sergio Martinez the soccer player KTFO.
Canelo was young still, barely coming into his own and Williams had a high workrate which would have given Canelo problems imo. Very tragic what happened to Paul Williams, I was hyped to see that fight.
When the fight was mentioned I was a little surprised that Canelo's team were willing to take the Williams fight. But after that Canelo has proven to be willing to fight anyone. No douby Williams work rate would have troubled young Canelo.
