cause everyone dick eats margarito or cintron and sees him as a threat... hes young fearless and hungry.. theres nothing not to like
I just don't like to watch him, it's nothing personal, he's a good fighter that I sure as hell wouldn't want to face as a welter The freakish draining also grains a little bit. The man should be fighting at LMW, probably MW. But he all know he probably wouldn't be such a force there, because his physical attributes are the main reason he is a contender at welter
yeah exactly, he only reason it looked pitter patter against Margarito is that the Mexican is very sturdy. Has anyone put a dent in Margarito?
I'm a HUGE Punisher fan after watching the Margarito fight and have read lots about him on the sites before that fight. he did not let down and to me put on one of the best performances of the yr. 125 punches in the final rd !!!...WOW. We can hold out hopes for a fight with Cintron but now he's calling out Margarito so that matchup may be delayed even longer. I dont like his upcoming matchup with Quintana (Cotto ko'd him in 5 rds) because he will be compared with Cotto. I agree that he needs to stay active and hopefully Cotto or Floyd will be there for him 1 yr from now.
the same can be said for a lot of fighters, like Hatton. He makes weight so what is the problem? How many fighters put on less than 10lbs between weigh-in and fight? I guess not many. Her may even be hurting himself....look at the good it did Cotto moving up.
Because of the fact that he is so fast and tall in the division (he is like 6'2" and fights at 147 Wow) makes him a very difficult opponent, in my opinion he doesn't have a lot of power, Margarito laughed at him when he was getting punch in the face. But thinking as a promoter, if I have a good fighter who is producing me a fortune, why risk it all fighting with PW who has the reach (82") of a heavyweight. This is boxing a business for promoters.:deal BTW. Miguel Cotto fought 3 times this year, Urkal (KO), Judah(KO) and Mosley(UD).
Hatton doesn't naturally weigh 180lbs though He weighs that, because he doesn't eat like a normal human being, nevermind a professional athlete. The fact he can lose so many pounds in such quick time backs this up But yes, you can say this for many. None more so than Paul Williams
I agree...his physical demensions along with his unreal workrate are what make him such a dangerous WW......loosing his physical advantages takes away a key factor to his professional sucess as a fighter.
this guy does everything right that makes fights interesting but i think its the lack of flash no personality, i cant watch his fights for some reason
the bottom line is that he makes weight. if he is a natural 180lber and not fat, and gets down to 147....I'd suggest he's doing himself more harm than good. Cotto looks much better after not killing himself to make 140. Hopefully David Haye's punch resistance will improve for not having to make 200lbs....that remains to be seen though.
He gives himself more of an advantage than any of the aforementioned fighters Cotto and Hatton's advantages were simply in physical strength Williams is so lanky, and his arms are so freakisly long that it makes it hard for anybody to even get near him at welter. Hence it's difficult for anybody to truely test how he takes a punch with all that draining. Doesn't seem to affect his stamina, so I give him credit for that I would (and actually do) exactly the same thing
I'm not saying I don't like him but he is overrated simply because of his size and workrate. I'm tired of hearing about that ****.
