You know sometimes looking back at the old fighters (pre Ali era) and their seemingly superhuman efforts I'm inclined to shake my head in disbelief.
Looking at Danny Williams now, I get the same feeling.
Just what is he made of?
Are you comparing Williams to the likes of Marciano, Dempsey, Walcott? He’s only doing it for money, he was recently KOd by a former lightweight who’s not boxed for a few years

Three fights against opponents with winning records...and two of those were against the same guy who was 38 and no wins over anyone with a winning record.

It’s a shame for a middle-aged 45-year-old veteran, like Danny Williams, to spend the final nine years his career, spanning 30 fights (losing 60% of them), competing in tiny Eastern European venues, especially considering he once headlined events facing the likes of Mike Tyson and Vitali Klitschko.
