    Everyone knows that PW has talent and potential. I don't think he has the proven record to justify him being ranked higher than #9 or #10. But that's my personal opinion.

    I have no doubt that if he gets the right fights he will climb higher and higher 'til he picks up his next loss. I don't think he will lose for a good while yet though.

    ESPN has lost all credibility with that one.

    well at least they have the top three right after the top 3 every pound for list is very subjective and hard to justify.

    Sounds good. you know what I thought of? Williams is getting the treatment Mayweather got. Nobody at all wanted to fight Mayweather, inculding Mosley, for a long time. right now, nobody wants to fight Williams. I got a feeling when its all said and done were gonna be like Williams was one of the greatest fighters ever but what would have happened if Cotto,Mosley,Berto,Forrest, **** maybe Pavilk had the balls to fight him.

    It's about time. Paul Williams has been knocking on P4P status for some time now. I think fighting top fighters in three different weight classes is the definition of pound for pound.

    Well hes probably gonna be a champ at 147,154,160 168 is a push though. ppl already ducking him in 2008, and 2009 so just imagine by 2019!! most likely a top 50 fighter. im not saying top 25 but top 50

    He has wins over Wink, Margo, and avenged his only loss with style. PW has been pretty dominating. I have him at 7 or 8 but I have no problem with him at 5.

    :lol::rofl:patsch

    The guy is the DEFINITION of this mythical thing you love to talk about called P4P but you say he might not even be top 10? :lol:

    Williams is one of a few fighters that have PROVED in the ring that he is a pound for pound fighter.


    This is why pound 4 pound is such a joke because of comments like you just made.
