I still think of him as a glorified prospect. What contenders has he beaten? Matthysse, another prospect, and an old Sharmba Mitchell?Originally Posted by El Gamo

I don't like Williams, he's an example of a guy who really shouldn't be fighting at this weight. I've never really admired any boxer who tries to make a name for themselves by beating up on much smaller men.
To me dehyrating yourself and using intravenous drips to rehydrate afterwards, allowing you to weigh in much less than you actually are is just as much cheating as taking steroids imo.
He's huge for the weight class, throws a lot of punches but has embarrasingly little power for the weight and I fully expect Margarito to break him apart.

Williams said that he walks around at 155 lbs recently. I doubt he does that.
I remember Teddy Atlas making a case for boxers being able to do that during the Zahir Raheem fight. I think Raheem was denied the right to do that, and Teddy said that it is dangerous to send a fighter out there who isn't completely replenished.
I couldn't make up my mind on this one. I really just have not seen enough fights of PW to tell if he is good enough. Maybe Margarito is being judged to harshly for his bad night against Clottey. But I think most here agree that Clottey is a legit contender that would give anybody a rough night and I would not be supprised if we see a world title on his hands withind the next year or two.
Margarito should win but I just don't know.
I picked Margarito by UD.
interesting fight actually....hmmm. I rekon its a winnable fight for both guys, but id say Tony has the slight and very slight edge in my books. Williams could pull this off though.
It doesn't surprise me your poll having a smashing percentage for a Tony win ( KO or UD). Williams is all made to get caught as Tony combines leading jabs with balanced body punches - that is the main question here, Paul will try to keep him at bay and possibly cut him with flashy, long shots but when the guy gets in, he can't tie him up without taking a couple of twisting shots to his wiry frame - I really believe Tony will break him in 4 rounds or so, bad motha fucker that Tijuana guy is...
We don't know what kind of shape Margarito was in either, but also it was his fight they were preparing for.Originally Posted by CutMeMick
I'm surprised Tony is a favourite here,most other sites have Williams as a favourite as do many writers and guys like Roach etc
El Gamo you and I both know that Margarito should be the favorite for this fight and he's gonna kick Williams's ass.Originally Posted by El Gamo

Yeah,I agree my man. I would be MASSIVELY dissappointed if Tony lost. PW will have his moments for sure due to his physical stature but Tony needs to and should win.Originally Posted by Hulk
