    He has the talent and potential to do so but in terms of popularity I doubt it. Paul is a nice young man who is humble. But he doesn't have that kind of personality, whether it be flamboyant, violent or just that "star" quality that the likes of a Ray leonard or DLH had. But to say he can't have a career that is filled with amazing wins and accomplishments based on his style, the ability to move up and down in weight extremely effecitively and non stop intelligent boxing is not exactly going against him.

    hmm.. i don't know. maybe if he stays at 147-154. because he can very well use his monstrous height. but i doubt he'll be that low in his entire career, because his body will eventually grow and he will have difficulty making weight. then he has no choice but to move up in a division filled with fighters close to his height. when that time comes, paul williams' boxing talent will surface, it's either make it or break it.

    Who's too say that they couldn't tho... Accomplisments wise

    If they can big a big fight sometime soon at ww that would probably be a victory against anyone
    Pw "should" be able to beat everyone at 154
    If pw's chin can hold up at 160 he "will more than likely" be successful at 160

    168 might be a stretch with some of the bruisers up there... But in 2-3 years if he can add weight fill his frame and maintain his speed... Its very very realistic he could be successful between 168 up to whatever light hw is

    yeah but alot closer in his height. i'm saying if he couldn't utilize his height, he's gonna have to use his talent. then we'll see if he can be ATG

    Bhop is 6'1.
    pavlik is 6'2 and a half
    taylor is 5'11
    froch is 6'1

    I think he's overrated, I don't know how he's gotten this much hype, but we'll see.

    Well for starters, he would have to beat Cotto, Mosley, Clottey, Sergio Martinez, Eislandy Lara and Kelly Pavlik to even have a chance to exceed their accomplishments.

    Those are some big time ambitions for a guy who can't seem to get anyone with a name to fight him.
