    Alright guys, this is my first post, just wondering what your thoughts are on Paul Williams.
    In my mind he could be a great fighter, it's just about getting people to fight him. I like the Cintron fight and think it's a matchup of the best 154lbs fighters out there. However, I think he should stick at one weight instead of taking advantage of his height to move between divisions. Eventually, I'd like to see him move to middleweight after this fight and fight Pavlik/Martinez rematch in any order.
    I don't think anyone at welterweight will touch him so 160 are where the bigger fights are for him. Also, he would be able to use his great inside skills or use his height to fight on the outside at this weight without being disadvantaged as would be the case at 147 where the outside is his best bet always.
    Also, a martinez rematch would be phenomenal after their first fight and could make both men stars now as there would be belts on the line at this prestigious weight class which will interest casual fans and make them better known.
    Look forward to your responses.:good

    I think he is a freak at 147 but I agree with boom boom and that is over rated. He has great physical advantages (especially at Welterweight) and throws a lot of punches but Sergio Martinez gave the blueprint how to beat him. A prime Winky Wright would have destroyed him.

    Did he test positive?

    Or is that based on stupid assumptions that can be used to accuse every fighter in boxing?

    Just asking.

    He's a beast, endless stamina, great great chin, although he eats way too many clean shots, but that's because he's all offense. He should stay at 154 for good if he can, he can't make 147 anymore, but he's best served fighting smaller men with his style. Pac and Floyd will never fight him. But I don't think he will last a lot more years with all these grueling fights.

    He's an offensive powerhouse, limitless stamina and output, huge heart, great chin, freakish body, exciting style. He's never ducked a fight, moved up weight classes because everybody was scared of him at 147. He narrowly beat the current MW champ in a Fight of the Year candidate. He's a nice guy who loves to fight and brings it all to the ring.

    What's not to love?

    Im not in denial you're just full of **** what the **** does Barry Bonds have to do with boxing?

    You have yet to give a good reason why Pac is on roids.

    I dont know if Pac is on steroids or not,all i know is that nobody can be sure either way.

    you asked if Manny has been tested positive for roids like its not easy to get around those test. as a example of a obvious steroid user getting away with it i used Barry Bonds. A man that is clearly on roids but has never tested positive.
