Paul Williams...Are we getting ahead of ourselves?

[Preme]

You know lately the Paul Williams hype has been buzzing hard....Just as the Margarito hype was about 3 months ago...Now all of a sudden Margarito may not be the fighter everyones thought because of performance and lack of dangerous opp...All of a sudden Paul Williams is the most dangerous man at 147....I don't get it...To be honest the best name on his resume is a shot...and I do mean SHOT!!!!!!.....Sharmba Mitchell....Yes Williams is big..Yes he can bang...and he can box a bit but really lets look at who he has been impressive against....He may be the real deal he may not who knows...but why all of a sudden is he the next big thing?....Are we that desperate that we look to anyone with potential....Before everyone blast me think about it a minute......

Joe Calzaghe was the man after he beat Lacey now even his supporters are doubting him....

Margarito was the most ducked man in boxing?....Now he is not all he was cracked up to be?.....

At least they are world champions...Williams has a win over one ex champ who hasn't been a top guy in years....Why does this always happen here?

Just curious?

the guys 32-0, surly by now people know how good he is?

Yeah good point. I think people get very excited by him becuase he is such a freak of nature in the WW division. He is huge, huge reach, fast and powerful hands and people havent seen that in a fighter at WW since hearns days.

When i first seen him fight, i could just imagine his fans all saying "hes the next hearns" but honestly, i was far far from impressed and can see him getting beat badly soon. He is 32-0 and only now has become the number 1 for thw WBO? i honestly don't think much of the people he has beat, mitchel is his biggest name? why, i don't think mitchel would have the name he had now if he hadn't been batterd by Mayweather and KZ twice.

Really don't see this guy amounting to much. Didn't he have his first 10 or so fights at LMW?

Ok Hang on.... This guy is Margarito's mandatory, and he's been calling him out for a while.. So I don't think it's as much that he's being overhyped, it's just that people are wondering how good he can be, and they want to find out soon, since he has no problem taking a great fight to show us what he's made of.. I think that if Cotto is made to enfore his mandatory soon, Tony should have to fight Williams and then the winner of that can fight Cotto.

Not really,Paul was getting lots of hype after the Mathysee fight. Kellerman in particular was like WOW,what a double jab,what a straight right,wow etc etc.The after he beat a shot old Sharmba,peeps starting saying he was the second coming,not only likening his physical stature to Hearns but also skils wise. And Williams will fight the winner of the Cotto Margarito fight.Simple as. Arum has already said that,Tony's camp have said that so when everyone says Margarito is ducking.....

As for WIllams as a fighter,he's a freak physicallly but is wiiiiiiiiiiiiiide open,guys 5 inches shorter can get inside and move him(Mathysse and Mitchell backed him up a few times each),and his punches don't have that much power(Santos Pakau fight).However,his natural gifts make him a threat to anyone at 147 and he would give Tony and Cotto a tough fight but Cotto would get inside and break his body. Tony has more experience,more savvy and I think places his punches better and hits harder.
