Thread: Congrats to Paul Williams.

I noticed on the ring p4p ratings that he is #10. i hope he does well against Philips so he can get that rematch with Margarito. Hes one of the few guys in the sport that can be multiple champions, hope it goes well for him, especially since hes one of my favs right now.

wat do yall think of him being on the Ring p4p ratings??

I reckon he will be there for many more years to come

He definitely deserves to be top 10. I have a feeling Hatton will take over that spot if he does a number on Paulie. If not, Williams stays. This is not my opinion cause I think Williams is better P4P but I think RING Mag will go that direction.

I personally feel he doesn't belong in the top 10 just now.

Vic Darchinyan just recently dominated and stopped Mijares and he is nowhere to be seen in the top 10 when mijares was previously ranked around 7 i think.

Williams only holds one win over a top 10 p4p fighter Antonio Margarito who at the time wasn't ranked there so it shouldn't place Williams there imo.

Just read somewhere that Paul Williams has said he will fight Shane Mosley next because Margarito hasnt signed the contract to fight Mosley and cannot be contacted. I think Mosley has more of a chance in a fight with Margarito than with Williams. I think Williams reach gives any fighter problems, at least Maragrito can be outboxed at times.

Ya, Paul could have a top 20 P4P spot. He snuck out the decision against Margo not that long ago at all. He's been in with some decent opposition.

I think after this win and belt(IF IF) he will be top 10 P4P. Especially with a win out of his weight class.
I still can't figure out why P4P ratings aren't affected more by people seeking out fights outside of their divisions? Isn't that what P4P is all about?

I hear what you are saying. This system is not set up for boxing using something as basic as a one, two, three.. decimal system.

It should be shown more along the lines of a pyramid or a chart, diagram that expands and branches out. This would give us a better look and feel of the whole thing. I would even go as far as diving this into two groups. Small guys 105 to 147 and then big guys from 154 to 200 + The top 10 list is just stupid.
