He shouldnt be stripped but he really needs to pack it in now, hes really just a shadow of the fighter he used to be and seems to be losing his punch resistance with every fight.

Carl could still make his mark.
He's got Clifton in his corner now, and with Mark W putting him through the mill, who knows ?

Who knows?...I think we all do mate. Carl Baker is fat and chinny. He nailed Williams early and by the time Danny got going it was too late. Good for Baker, lucky for Baker. But it wouldn't matter if he had the reincarnation of Eddie Futch in his corner, he's not going to be any kind of real factor, even domestically.

Regarding Danny....its time he hung em up.

Though if i were him, i'd try and get the board to sanction a defense against Baker, so he can get a measure of revenge by bashing hell out of the 'fridge' before calling it a day.

Agreed. Baker is complete garbage.

Has Danny retired?

He hasn't said anything either way as far as i know....but he really ought to call time his career.

He's nowhere near what he once was, and i'm sick of seeing Danny wobbling around like a drunk. He ought to get out while he's still got his heatlth, surely he's saved a bit and isn't short of a bob or two. But i do think he ought to get even with Baker first.

I have no doubt Danny would have won that fight if it was over a normal distance, in which case we'd be talking of another great Williams fightback. However a fighter of his calibre should not be getting bowled over three times by the likes of Baker, regardless of the end result, which I think says it all as far as Williams' career is concerned.
