Biggest claim to fame: Freakishly tall.

Like Kingsley, we may never hear of him again after he loses :|

That's an interesting one. I'm thinking issues of co-ordination, balance, defence etc All a result of the reasons they are revered.

One could argue that margarito has the sickest workrate in boxing and a great chin, as well. He's also been tested against better fighters which speaks volumes since his resume' isn't all that great either.

He's a hell of a lot more likely to be the next Kingsley Ikeke than the next Thomas Hearns. What a joke that was. :patsch

Matthysse had 25 knockouts in 26 fights.

Never thought he was anything great. Margarito should make short work of him.

He does have a very good chin. I think a lot of people here don't realise that, and they are expecting Marg to startch him. Won't happen

I like Margarito.... But if Williams is the next Kingsley Ikeke, I don't think Margarito is going to be his Arthur Abraham..... Or his Anthony Hanshaw...

He may have a good chin. But he has very bad tendencies. He exposes his chin too much. Has very bad defence. Doesnt matter how great of a chin you have, if you leave it exposed as much as Williams does, you will get dropped.

:huh no he didnt he took 4 shots to the chin which ,just basicly pushed to the face, what do you wan somone who can getting hit in the face dosnt make you unbalenced

he has a fine chin far better than hearns or forrest.

i feel he could be a welterwieght champion easy after this fight

He's also been tested against better fighters which speaks volumes since his resume' isn't all that great either.Williams workrate blows Maragrito's away Williams is up there with Juan Diaz as workrates are concerned.

Just cause Williams has fought the greatest comp doesn't mean he will lose Ricky Hatton and Chad Dawson are just two of the many fighter to prove that theory wrong.

And Matthysse if nothing else can bang.

Stamina he blows Tommy out of the water. And warrior tendancies.....Tommy had all the heart in the world but Williams has shown a great heart also in his short career.

And and Williams is 10x more awkward then Tommy.

Margarito will tear Williams up, unless Williams employs some lateral movement. If he tries to trade with Tony, then it's night-night for the Punisher.

argentina is far from a hotbed of talent. i just had to boxrec his record. all but one of his oponnents have been knocked out no less than 3 times. true definition of padded record. he has fought nothing but stiffs.

margarito is going to beat the brakes off of pw.

A pretty KO percentage is just that, PRETTY, without the substance behind it.
