A bit of an exaggerated example but Paul has really fought nobody.

The only thing is the speed, that's a big advantage for Williams.
Hmmm...interesting point. Makes me look at it a little differently. But hey,PW is RING top 10 too if I remember correctly(which is a bit low imo,he's better than some of the guys above him). I just don't like the fact(and I don't mean you personally Oumafan) that Margarito is taking another tough fight and even if he wins,some people will find ways to dismiss which is ridiculous considering how dangerous PW is. The same thing happened with the Cintron fight but Kermit has gone on to become a world champ and RING number 7. I'd rather Tony fight a livewire in PW,a hungry,dangerous guy than a shot older fighter.
Well Gamo, you and I both know who those people are that will discredit Margarito.
What makes this even funnier is that remember all those people talking shit! that Margarito was scared of Williams and that Margarito would never fight Williams, that Margarito would 1st vacate his belt rather then fight Williams....
How ignorant can some people be, just typing away without thinking 1st.
But anyway what matters now is that the fight is made and if all goes well they'll be face to face on Sat. night which is gonna be a helluva night.

Yeah,I remember that.Good post,CC in 24. They all crawled under a rock when Margarito went to court to FIGHT PW because Top Rank wanted him to fight Cotto which meant vacating his title and he did not want to do that. It's funny how the haters went quiet after that,I remember seeing so many threads saying Margarito is ducking et etc BS. And yeah they can try to discredit Tony but us true fans know that this is ANOTHER RING mag fighter Tony will have beaten! AnD PW would be tough for anyone at 147.

im thinking either a stoppage or a hard faught SD margarito
Theres only 2 things that IMO can change things for the worst for Margarito here.
Thats the 2 injuries he's had one with his hand and the other with his leg.
But fwock that no excuses, he was able to beat Clottey with an injured hand and I don't remember him mentioning his leg injury in the post-fight interview of the Clottey fight.

As I said before I like both fighters styles I think we're in for a really good fight.

I'm rooting for Margarito as I always have.

Nope,no excuses. Tony was genuinely injured for the Clottey fight,he rested and has extra time to prepare for this fight. He has had a great camp for this fight too and I have a feeling he is going to do really well for this fight.
