so you think you've unearthed a Boxrec double standard.Counter-puncher wrote:hahahahaha. could it be, autobarn criticising a fighter for having an ugly style?
the same 'barn who about once per day for a while was saying how much it annoyed him that honest un-flashy pressure fighters like Murray get downgraded on boxrec in favour of flashy fighters with 'check hooks', all style over substance, he would say.
but williams has an ugly and ungainly style, not attractive.
watch the super 6 instead though, eh, 'barn, so you can watch the incredibly slick and aesthetically pleasing Carl froch
What does that get you, a free BoxRec T shirt, a KFC voucher and 10% off selected books at Waterstone's?
Murray isn't an ugly stylist. He throws clean shots, always gets his feet in position before punching. This was a completely different debate, pressure v flash.
Williams is an ugly stylist. He throws lots of pitty pat arm punches and often punches from out of position. He slaps and flaps and ppl rate him more on potential than what he has actually done. He's more like Celestino Caballero - a fighter I really rate - but let's see Williams, say, smash the shit out of good fighters in their backyard, or unify some belts, or do something special. Before hailing him as a "pound for pounder" and "boxing's most underappreciated." Last week there was a thread - "Paul Williams - As Good As It Gets?" - I don't think the thread starter was kidding.
Ring mag actually raved about him, after he KO'd that German guy up at middleweight. Didn't that make Williams "the scourge of 3 weight classes"? Paul Freaking Williams has never successfully defended a world title. That's how stupendous he is.
Paul Williams will fight anyone because he lacks star quality and wants money. Ideally, Williams would have a light middle belt, and someone like Cotto would move up, and they would fight. And we'd find out who is the dog's bollocks, or perhaps that both of them are just OK.
