    It is not inconceivable that Winky Wright will outbox Paul Williams like he did Felix Trinidad.

    A combination of Age, Inactivity and the fact Wrights last fight was at light heavyweight and this fight being at middleweight leads me to believe Williams should win this fight, I've seen to many fighters ruined after losing a large amount of weight after a step up.

    Winky Wright is going to win. My gut tells me that, and history tells that too. The older craftier guy almost always wins. Paul Williams has already been outboxed and cut up by a guy who is nothing compared to Winky Wright. I even think Winky is gonna win by KO. Almost everyone thinks Williams is gonna win, but boxing is that great sport that seems to shock everyone when they least expect it.

    Paul Williams wins this.

    I wanna see Williams fight Pavlik. I think that would be one hell of a fight & one that maybe Kelly struggles a bit.

    Until Williams gets KO'ed, that is.

    I think it should happen by years end. After that MegaFight, Williams with prob call out the winner. I just think that style-wise & the size of both men at Middlewt. would make a great fight. Many people would prob go with Williams. Kelly would eventually knock him silly, IMO.

    :bbb

    BTW, whats so great about Texass???;-)

    I don't even think this is going to be close. I see Williams winning this easy. When I looked at the odds I was shocked that Williams is only -200. Definitely going to have to call the book tonight and bet him. IMO he should be atleast -350 or more.

    Easiest choice is Williams wins decisively because of activity, but Winky thinks he got robbed.
