I'm not sure how HBO can justify removing Margarito from that list while keeping a man on it that Margarito blitzed with ease just a couple of years ago.
I missed the first two fights on the card because I went to a family gathering for most of the day but truthfully I'm glad I missed the Gatti fight since I had no real desire to see him get pummeled. I hope Arturo enjoys his retirement and I grateful for all the great memories he's given to Boxing fans.
I thought Paul Williams looked damn good during the fight. He buried Margarito under that constant rain of punches during the first half of the fight and even when Margarito started connecting and made a run toward the end of the fight Williams was able to dig down and capture that final round. I look forward to seeing Williams go against the other elites in the Welterweight division in the future.
