    I never asked for this fight. It's a good test to see if Williams is all hype or ready to enter the elite, but I never felt it was one of the important make or break fights at this weight. I much would have preferred to see Marg give Hitter a rematch or do whatever it took to make the Cotto fight, which is the one truly unbiased fans were clamoring for all along. :good

    But he is a prospect which is 6'2, at welter, with a ton of potential and I think you know that.

    He has no resume, to speak of. Yet his physical tools can give most in the division hell, stylistically most would stay the hell away from him and for good reason. Margo is stepping up to the plate first, so I give him full credit for that.

    I would love nothing more than Margo vs Cotto. I see a Cotto win, and then it would be on to the winner of Floyd vs. Hatton. (or Mosely).

    hes stepping up because its a career high purse and he will lose his belt if he doesnt

    margo without a fake wbo belt is even more worthless to the big names than he is now

    I'm just now putting in a prediction for Margarito (took a long time to make up my mind on this one!), but I give him full credit for this fight, win or lose. If he does win, he should be mentioned for the big fights along with everyone else. Williams would not be pushover for anyone.

    If I was a praying man, I'd be on my knees like a crackwhore for this chain of events.

    He is stepping up, period. :deal

    I could give two shits if he stepping up because he promised a 2nd cousin somewhere in Tijuana who he is romanticaly involved with that he would take the fight.

    What is the tendency on this board to never give credit, for anything.

    i mean how much credit do you think he should get i mean he is clearly the vet in this case....Margo's resume is not loaded of course he has two Prospect fights one in which he barley won but agian it was againt fighters who also themselves havent done much just very good up and commers much like the fight tonight....Williams is loaded with POTENTIAL but thats just that potential...this is Williams biggest fight to date he himself hasnt even done anything.....

    BUT i can say this Margo is slowly but surely stepping the resume up though so i cant knock him for that.....ultimatley his toughest challenge will be Cotto...i think he beats Cotto...and there is no reason he doesnt get all the respect he needs!

    I actually see Williams winning this fight tonight. I think he has the tools to win a 12 round decision. This fight reminds me a lot of the Dawson-Adamek bout where the younger and not as proven fighter beats the rugged, experienced, favorite by using his size, speed, and athleticism. Either way its a very good fight.

    Having picked Williams I would have no course but to give Margarito credit for winning tonight. I would actually put both guys down as top 5 contenders right now. Whoever wins, to me, will have secured a very nice win. I also give Margarito credit for beating Cintron(who I thought would also beat Margorito) and another win over an undefeated highly ranked contender looks that much better for Margorito's resume.

    Good fight between two of my top 5 welterweight contneders.The winner should get nothing but credit for tonight. Williams by decision.

    He will get credit from unbias fight fans. Hes at the cusp of mainstream success now, so this win will just elevate his status. Mayweather nuthuggers will always downplay Margo, cause Margo will make Floyd his prison-*****...

    This is exactly the people i talk about, see below!
    Of course you would say that all he beats are prospects and nothing more... Thanks for your expert anal-lysis, why doesnt Floyd step up the plate and fight a top welter himself, like mosley?

    I'm kinda ignorant about Margo, except for the few fights that I have seen of him, an Ok pressure figher,strong smart and tough as nails. Paul williams I know even less about. The names on both of there records does not send shockwaves down my spine. I really don't know who's for real. So I can't really give either high praises, to much hype and propaganda for me.
