    These guys usually make good fights due to their workrates and poor defense. Williams's defense is atrocious against lefties and merely just bad against orthodox fighters. Margarito may roll with some shots here and there but eats a ton of leather.

    Of the two, who has a better defense?

    I've never seen Paul fight with his hands up. From ever since the Pakau fight, he's essentially just walked in and threw a combination of punches and leaves his hands down. Then again, Margarito's defense is also atrocious, but at least he fights w/ his hands up. Then again, Margarito doesn't use his footwork to turn fighters like Paul did against him.

    So...

    that leaves us w/ option 3.

    I don't think it matters. Paul is not a defenseive fighter. He gets hit, and loses his damn mind and begins to throw even more punches.:lol:

    For the record, Paul is harder to hit for a conventional fighter, while Margo is harder to hit for a lefty.

    Option 3. But I would agree with what bladerunner said.

    Williams just cause he occasionally moves his head (at the wrong time but A for effort).
