So the big man got out hustled tonite, and we have even more intrigue in the Welter division... I would like to see Quintana and Cotto rematch and see Quintana with a little more confidence... Not saying the result would be any different but you can have a unification and a grudge match all in one...
Cant wait to here who is the 1st one to proclaim Quintana the next great annointed Mayweather slayer :rolleyes:
Congrats Carlos;)
quintana fought his ass off in that fight! Some people been saying for a while that paul is susceptible to right hands, but usually he dished and landed enough of his own punches to negate them, quintana it seemed just landed those at will. Paul needs to start sitting on his punches a bit, I mean he fights a style similar to calzaghes in that he "slaps" his punches but that stuff works for cal, and well tonight it didn't work for paul. Paul I think is still a very good fighter just not as good as some of us thought perhaps. He needs to get a defense because that chin of his as sturdy as it might be will eventually crack, and he needs to learn to actually box like a tall fighter because right now hes a short fighter in a tall mans body really. He also might want to think about moving to 154, that weight class is not nearly as stacked, but then again adding on 20 pounds between weigh in and fight night will take its toll sooner or later, so it might be in his best interest long term.

What a pointless thread.No-one said he was ducking PW but it was highly questionable whether he would ever have fought him.PW has a horrible style for anyone,it's just Quintana had a horrible style for him. So Quintana,a 5ft11 southpaw,natural WW who's best punch is a straight left hand,does that mean Mayweather will beat him too? :confused:
Things like Williams porous defense will be why Mayweather obviously beats him.
Not me. I would much rather see Quintana vs. Cintron....Quote:

I mean around the 6th or 7th round it looked like quintana didn't either but then he got a second wind of some sort. Paul really needs to change his style to one that fits him as a tall fighter because if you're that tall you could really stay on the outside and potshot most anyone to death. Also I'm thinking the added 7 pounds would only help williams.Quote:

The reason why i count Williams out against Floyd is the lack of power.. You need to have power to frazzle Floyd and get him off balance and out of his rhythm... Williams would definitely connect more, but Floyd would 100% land the more cleaner punches which would get him a decision or a KO/TKO hands down.Quote:
