    Is the view of Paul Williams victory over Margarito diminished now that the invincibility of Margarito has dissipated? I think its a valid question b/c some will state "Oh, I knew Margarito was overrated all along...". But the general consensus before last saturday was Margarito was a BEAST.

    Now what do you think of Paul "The Punisher" Williams?

    What if Margo cheated against him?

    That might be a clear reason why Margo didn't want to rematch him again. Couldn't beat him with loaded gloves the first time..

    Unchanged. He beat Margarito with volume and movement, probably before he hit his own physical prime. Shane beat him with accuracy and power as a much more complete fighter. Still a very impressive win by Williams, but not more or less based on this weekend.

    don't know in the williams fight margo stated really fighting after the 7th round and williams body started showing marks also, plus margo admitted he started to slow and was going to start faster in the early rounds which was how he beat cintron and cotto, if he had started early with paul who knows those hands of stones might have beat him in the later round.

    I couldn't beat him with loaded gloves the first time, so i won't rematch him again because everyone knows you can't load your gloves twice against the same guy?

    If Margrito used wraps in the Williams fight and Willams went all 12 than my allready high opinion of Williams improves.

    We really can't assume he used the wraps against Paul...

    But we can absolutely question it. And if he did, then that 11th Round where Margo got off some huge punches against Williams is even more amazing. Because after that 11th he went back to his corner, dug deep and came out and spanked Margo in a lop-sided 12th.

    And all the while these Margo fans were talking **** about how he Punished Paul in the 11th.... Wonder why?

    that would insinuate that the only way to win a rematch if you don't cheat the first time is to cheat the second time.
