    I like Angulo, he's made for the pro game.
    Iron chin, iron will and hands of stone.

    If he brings it come fightnight, I am not so sure PW can engage with him in a grueling 12 round war. (And yes, as much as PW boxes, he does engage awfully much)

    He doesn't look unstoppable to me. I think that someone agressive enough can beat him. he is not particularly impressive defensivly he just doesn't get hit much because guys are so busy blocking his 100+ punches per round. Against Margarito once Margarito let his hands go he started to win rounds. I think someone like pavlik who wouldn't mind taking 3 or 4 to land 1 would beat him. I think taylor at 160 I would favor most of the big names over him, Taylor, Pavlik, Abraham.

    At 154 or 147 he could be more dominant but I still see guys like Cotto and even Margo if they ever rematch, beating him.

    i'm leaning towards what you said, but you cant count out angulos chin, toughness and power....and remember, he throws a lot too, but he throws with the intention to hurt you, not win rounds.......huge difference

    I dont anyone under 160lbs beating him anytime soon. On his punchrate along he is hard to fight and add that he is a southpaw to that. You can take 3-4 punches to land 1 hard punch BUT how many of those 3-4 combos are you going to have to sacrifice to land flush power punches that will cause any damage to him....Now if we have another guy who is as tall as he is, then we can talk about him losing. Cotto or Mosley wont beat him.....

    You can take Kirkland out of that list as I dont think he will be fighting for a while now. Things are goin to get tough for him in the few months. A felon in possesion of a firearm is not a pretty charge here in Texas. Im sure Danger can tesify to that...:yep

    The only ones I see giving Williams any trouble would be Santos or Forrest because of their sizes....I dont know much about Dzinziruk to speak on him.....And please take Mora out of that list for the sake of Boxing fans all over the world...lol

    Im a big kirkland fan, but he has a good chance
    although I rewatched the last kirkland fight and he does seem to be watching his defense a lil better in spots

    IMO its a toss up between him and forrest, but I havent watched forrest fight in a few years so I dont know how much he still got
    if I was at a bar I would bet $10 on williams
    Mora, I think he takes out
    same with spinks, lopez and the dude with the funny name, Ive never seen fight

    See these are the fights we should be talking about.
    The top 3 guys on this list would all give him trouble.
    I see a hard puncher and someone pushing him back giving him alot of trouble.
    Angulo still gets hit a little too much right now.

    A slidk guy like Spinks could still give him some trouble but I don't feel he has enough body power to keep him honest.

    Strong guys like Kirkland or Santos def pose threats
