And.. he would have been sickly ROBBED had the THREE points Dave (lost the plot) Parris took cost him the fight.
Mate his dislocated shoulder is all we ever hear about though. Big deal, his shoulder popped out and in the same round his club fighter opponent was stupid enough to walk onto his one good hand and get knocked out.
Brave from Williams I guess but really there are hundreds of fighters who would have fought to the end of the round like he did.
Jeff Lacy fought AN ENTIRE FIGHT against Vitali Tyspko with a dislocated shoulder that required a FULL YEAR off due to surgery and he got no credit at all. In fact all we had were people on here saying he shouldn't have got the decision
Arthur Abraham fought virtually an entire fight with his jaw hanging off his face and again gets no credit for it.
Danny Williams on the other hand fights a round with a dislocated shoulder and he's a hero for all time, and all of his future underachievements are just glossed aside as all the experts continue to tell us he's awesome on his day.
I just want to know when his day was?
Seriously no boxer has ever had more excuses made for him and had more praise unjustly hepaed upon him than Danny Williams has.
Whenever a boxing expert or pundit talks about Matt Skelton, they are always at pains to stress to us how shit and limited they think he is. Whenever Audley is mentioned they are always at pains to stress to us how delusional he is and how much of a fraud he is.
Yet whenever they mention Danny they always talk about this mythical figure who 'on his day' (and please tell me when that day was!) can beat anybody.
The fact is a shot Tyson aside he's never beaten anybody. He got a gift against Skelton in the first fight, who avenged it by winning practically every round in the rematch, and he barely beat Audley in the worst fight of the past 100 years when Audley fought an absolute stinker, and Audley himself annihilated him in the rematch.
I just wish people would be honest about Danny Williams. He's a fat, lazy, woefully inconsistent heavyweight who fights only in short burst, but he can bang and when he gets tagged he's dangerous for the next minute or so until he's lulled back into a slumber again.
At his best he's a highlight reel for a world championship calibre fighter.
At his worst he's a name opponent on the record of an otherwise completely unheralded club fighter.
That's it. FACT!
