    in the elite level yes.

    I see him more of a gate keeper now for 154 to 160 fighters.

    he should fight the winner of Cotto/Margarito II
    people said Mosley should fight them, but **** Mosley.

    Paul is one of my fav fighters an i believe he can still be world champ but avoid most lefties at light middleweight i can see him beating Bundrige and at middleweight i could see him beating Julio Cesar Chavez jr

    but DONT have a 3 rd match with martinez

    He's another american-level hypejob who got exposed at elite-level, yes.

    No different to Pavlik, Ortiz, Dawson, Lacy before him, and Ward, Mike Jones et al who will inevitably follow him.

    bit mean about Mosley lol imma big fan of him but everyone has there opinions. I think it make more sense for Molsey to fight the loser of Cott/Margarito 2

    Mentally yes, so that affects how he performs physically as well..

    He has fallen deeper than I ever thought he could. How anyone can outthrow the opponent 2-1 and yet get his ass kicked is beyond me. That recent robbery has dropped his stock significantly.

    Hard to say. He might still be able to do well against an opponent with the right of style i.e. not a southpaw who's going to provide movement and counter.

    Yes and the only chance he has of even getting close to being back on top is if he learns to use what the **** he has. The dude has a heavyweight reach yet gives up his height in every fight. Why throw all them punches when you can control the fight with your jab and work off of it.

    Very likely done at the top level. Its really hard to judge on his last performance, he was facing a very good fighter. Who knows if his heart is in it anymore? Who knows if getting sparked by Sergio ruined him? I'm sure if he wants to fight he can still be competitive at near the top level. I don't think he's fighting again until next year so it may be a while before we know.

    I'm not ready to jump to the conclusion that he's done. Williams has always been defensvely poor, ESPECIALLY against slick southpaws.

    I just don't think that guy could deal with lefties... period... I think eh could fight any orthodoxed fighter pretty close
