    That's sad....

    I remember him fighting Larry Holmes.. It should have been a training session for the eastern assassin, he wasn't expected to even break sweat against the 'truth Williams'... Boy was he wrong!

    Carl Williams put up a great performance against the champ, some believe he nicked it, I didn't.

    What I do believe, is a young boxer gave it his all that night, against the second best heavyweight of all time (In my opinion)... He held his own, and got the respect of all boxing fans around the world.

    His best performance was certainly against Larry Holmes

    Doesn't matter what his worst performance was.... How many people would even have the guts to step into a ring with the then ferocious Iron Mike Tyson?

    Carl Williams RIP

    Best performance- 10th round TKO over Jesse Ferguson

    Worst performance- Getting KO'd by Mike Tyson

    Remembered for- Controversial loss to Larry Holmes

    Pinklon used to be education Tyson until Atlas took the leash off Mike, Williams did beat Mike as an amateur however neither had so much success against Mike as execs. I love Thomas in this one, Carl certainly not particularly impressed me as much of a contender.

    Arguably, his performance against Larry Holmes may be his best.The Bert Cooper stoppage was impressive.Worst, loss to Larry Holmes.Probably most remembered for the disputed loss to Holmes, though I understand he was the #1 Heavyweight in the world as an amateur when he turned pro.
