    I have been high on him. Technically sound and with good power. Tough to see anyone besides Canelo beating him at 154. He would school Angulo, Cintron, Bundrage. He would probably kick Golovkin's ass to. He has few flaws in him. **** he is good.

    He just may be one of the purest boxers in the sport today.

    FIghts like casamayor except gets hit alot more, especially to the body. Man needs to stop moving backward. Judges don't like it.

    i gotta see him in more fights. tonight he did good, but that's because Paul blocks left hands with his face. i Think with better conditioning and a few bum fights he might be great later but for now what i saw tonight was average. Even in a fight that he was robed in and a had a clearly laid out easy to execute blue print to beat the other fighter he looked meh.

    So I guess you had Frazier up on your scorecard in all three fights with Ali, then?

    Yeah, for some ppl moving backwards and tagging your opponent that has almost 15 lbs over you is a no no.

    I don't understand how some people perceive boxing. It doesn't matter how YOU think a fight should be scored, there are specific rules. And moving forward while throwing a zillion punches DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING unless you're actually effective. And Williams tonight wasn't.

    Lara sure beat the crap out of Williams, it was one sided fight. Williams' had his personal judges give him a gift. Williams should be ashamed, he is done...............Williams judges can't convince me or other boxing fans that he won, he lost big!

    I really like the Casa comparison. He's like a lesser version of Casamayor, which, if he improves more, is good enough to do some nice things at 154.

    Paul Williams must have a lucky star under his ass or someone is paying off these judges. He gets a gift against Cintron who was taggin Paul in those 3 rounds, even if Cintron didn't deserve the win from his antics, should have been declared a no contest. Now he gets a gift against Lara, the man who was landing the cleaner harder punches all night.
