    Some quotes:


    I really hope he has made enough money to live well the rest of his life. If someone has the eye of the tiger it is him.

    Just hope this is a real state of mind and not shock/morphine induced.

    "The boxer was making swinging motions in his sleep" This is the true definition of someone breathing, eating, and shitting boxing. He even boxes while he sleeps!

    I've read similar, 'silver lined' stories about him even before his awful accident. The guy makes me realise what a ****ing whining clown I can be at times.....and Just about everyone else I know too.

    I just pray that he proves the medics wrong and does one day walk again. If not, I hope he enjoys his fishing. Hats off to the guy.

    Paul Williams is a true warrior.

    I hope he dosnt give up and can stay strong to face up to this challenge that has been put in front of him.

    I can only wish him all the best, and I hope one day he is able to walk again.

    From what he's saying it seems like he has a good positive attitude about things despite having had to go through such a shitty experience, I hope it's not just a case of him putting a brave public face on things.

    i agree.... i love paul williams...he grew up not far from me...

    but ive seen alot of people get hurt in my life, alot of people get sick with cancer and say they are gonna beat it and alot of people die.... and you are right, reality has not set in..... 2 years from now when there are no cameras, no more interviews, no more income.... its gonna start to suck....i could be wrong, i hope i'm wrong, ive just seen this type of thing happen...its human nature to be positive at first.... and bitter later...and i wont blame him for being bitter should he get that way, he was way to young for all this **** to happen

    Williams may have a future as a motivational speaker with a little coaching. Admirable attitude!

    Anyone know more about his financial situation? Does he have enough money to live on the rest of his life? He doesnt seem the type that spends millions a month
