Whats the big deal? Here's a guy that can still make 147, and would be the betting favorite over Cotto, Mosley, Berto, Margarito, Pacman and even Mayweather. He would be favored to beat all the top guys at 154. He would be considered a dangerous challenge to anyone at 160. He might even be a threat to the belt holders at 168. Thats worthy of some hype aint it?
:rofl Please just calm down. Kessler, Froch, Taylor, Andrade and even A.Green would destroy Williams with ease.
pwill will get his chance, he is a very hungry guy at the moment, and i think the quintana loss kinda woke him up so to speak.....
Fighters will avoid Williams as long as they can. What I dont get is people saying that he hasnt fought anyone. But you dont hear anyone, and I mean ANYONE calling his name, I have not once heard any of the top guys at 147 say I want Williams. I have heard everyone eles being called out why not him??? I think that speaks for itself.:good
He's like Chico Corrales was, really freakishly skinny though tall. There's no ****ing way he should be fighting guys as big as Dawson or Pavlik and to even suggest it is not really fair. PW's a damn good fighter but a lower weight guy. Height doesn't make you a middleweight or above.
Only people who mention him with these people are usually Cotto and Shane fans trying to keep from discussing the outcomes of him in the ring with their guy. And Farmboxer.
Williams is a very talented kid who the top welterweights won't fight anymore. I also think he is capable of making 154 "Paul's House." At 160 his performance against Winky convinced me he can beat Sturm. If he could just stay busy, control the distance with his height and reach, and avoid catching anything big, he might beat Abraham. Pavlik is to big, to strong, to busy, and to tough. PWilly might actually win the boxing match, but he would lose the fight in brutal fashion. Right now Williams has no business at 168 or higher.
Williams proved that he belongs at 160 by beating Winky so if he wants a real challenge, he should seriously call out Pavlik. It seems that Pavlik won't get Sturm or Abraham next so Williams' people should make a reasonable offer and might get the fight.
williams is a 147-154 fighter.....BUT if pavlik got floored by journeyman zuniga....i'm sure paul could hurt, pavlik....and badly too....
