Max Kellerman last night shiting on about how great and stacked the 154lb division is. He's a fucktard. Its a collection of small men, wasted guys and never-was bums, paper champions etc. Somebody like a prime Vargas could go in there right now and clean up. Hell I'd like a young David Reids chances.
I dunno about David Reid. He was talented, but extremely flawed. He could beat anyone currently at 154, but he could also get upset by a few of them. Prime Vargas though? No doubt! 98-00 Nando would wipe his ass with Lara, Williams, Cotto, Ginger, Molina, Shitron, Vanes, and Wolak.
Paul the spider Williams,.. did however go 1 and 1 against the best Puerto Rican fighter we've seen in quite some time now in Sergio Martinez,... so, it can't be all bad, like Middleweight remember,.. Jermaine Taylor twice defeated the apparent greatest of all time, but because he was the 'wrong sort' a bit like heavyweight,.. it was 'depression time' ... the question is,.. is Paul on the way out?... or will Emmanuel Steward come to his rescue?.. :crafty: ...
This would be a perfect matchup for both guys. I'm not writing off Paul; getting a win coming off a ko loss like he did will only serve to help him revive. Boxing is very much a mental game when things start going poorly. I thought Williams looked decent physically, but then he started to fade and didn't have anything on his punches. That type of problem can be fixed and getting a win you don't deserve can serve to get you back into the right frame of mind to improve on your follow-up performances.
Sergio Martinez is overated..he beat Pavlik, KO'ed Williams, and beat some russian..and is now looking to cash in his ticket....$$$$...If he was PR i would look at him in the same light as Daniel Santos....
Maravilla is alot better than Santos. For the record though.... I'd take a prime Santos to KO Paul. As easy as Williams is to hit with left hands, thats not good news against Santos.
