Paul Williams

Anyone see his performance against Wright? Absolutely amazing performance. The guy is a machine. Unbelievable volume of punches and they come from all angles. He has a good chin too. I'd love to see how Floyd jr would deal with him, it would be an awesome fight to watch. Shame it will probably never happen. I think PWill is the goods though and pretty much unbeatable from 147-160 (with the exception of floyd)

I was expecting him to beat Winky by wide decision but I'll admit I was very impressed all the same. I wouldn't see him as unbeatable by any means though, Quintana got the trick done once(it was only a year ago) before getting blasted out in a round in the rematch.

I'd like to see him in with Mosley next, it'd be good for Williams to try and make something of himself at Welterweight before he has to move up. Mosley after the beating he gave Margarito is obviously the man to beat and Williams chin would be well and thoroughly tested by Mosley. If he can win that, then take the Cotto-Clottey winner and move up to Light-Middleweight permanently.

I'm certainly not a fan of going straight to Middleweight with him, as good as he seems at Welter and Light-Middle that'd be another story entirely and against the likes of Abraham and Pavlik Williams won't seem such a big man. The difference in punching power and strength might be a shock to his system aswell and if they spend too much time there he mightn't be able to get back down to the lower weights, eliminating a lot of chance for success.

I certainly wouldn't mind seeing Dzinziruk v Williams in the near future either if Dzinziruk gets past James Kirkland like In expect him to.

There are just so many fights for this guy. I believe he can go up to middle and do well and further down the line super middle even.
Before that though as big said, get down to welter if he can still make it comfortable, have some good high profile fights, do the same at light middle, do all he has to do at those weights (bearing in mind there wont be tons guys lining up to fight him) then tackle the higher weights.

Boxing needs a guy like this to be seen by joe and josephine public.

I got this one badly wrong.
Williams made Winky look ordinary. which is some feat against a guy who has super defense, then again with Williams, height, reach and punch volume he's a nightmares for anyone. On reflection i think Wright at any stage of his career would have struggled against Williams. I think he will beat Mosley and Cotto and most fighters at welterweight but if he moves up and faces the likes of Pavlik, Kessler, Abraham i think he'll be stopped.

Great call there. I would love to see that fight, I was hugely impressed with Mosley in that fight, even before it came out that Margarito had weighted his gloves.

I went with Winky but that was from the heart. Anyone with decent skills and a work rate would beat Winky these days .

Fair play to Williams the guy is taking on all comers from welter to middle.


Kelly Pav up next !!

He's fighting anyone at all weights because people dont want to fight him, he has to move to get fights, he's the new man!!

i'd like to see him and PBF

I'd love to see him fight Floyd or even Cotto - I think Kelly is to big and strong and more importantly active for Williams - interesting fight non the less.

Williams' size is gonna' be a big problem for all welters and even junior middles.
Mosley is going to e meeting a fighter far more versatile than the overrated and one dimensional punchbag that is Antonio. I never rated Antonio higly and tipped a fit Mosley to expose him.

Now, 160 lbs is a stretch IMO. Pavlik will love a fighter like Paul, who he will
not really have to stalk and chase and figure out. Pavlk will be bigger and will be really able to plant his feet and let rip against Williams.

Cotto is simply too hittable and small and hasn't the extra elusiveness needed
to beat Williams, nor has he the KO shot to really put hurt on Paul
