    I have been out of touch with the latest news in the Boxing world for a couple of years. What is Paul Williams up to these days? I remember a few years ago HBO was really hyping him up. Has he come close to that hype? Or is he another Jermaine Taylor?

    This has got to be a joke thread. Either way, you're a ****ing imbecile.

    In case you didn't know, Paul was paralyzed in an accident back in 2012. I think in May as a matter of fact.

    He was signed to challenge Canelo Alvarez, but the accident happened...

    I doubt there's any boxer from his generation that has as much heart as he does both inside and outside the ring.

    The way he dealt with being paralyzed just shows he has the heart of a lion

    He did plan to retire after that september fight anyway and he is financially secure because he made some really smart investments and his trainer is also a financial advisor

    Also this quote just shows what kind of man Paul Williams is, was a week after his accident

    I've been away for a while, how's Gerald Mcclellan doing? Did he ever get to fight Nigel Benn?

    I genuinely didn't know. I came on here because i wanted to know how Paul was progressing with his career and what other boxing fans' opinion was on it. I don't revel in another human being's misery and i'm quite offended.

    he is very positive and not depressed that is good. Can't believe he thinks he will box again though.

    I find it hard to believe that if you follow and like boxing enough to become a member on a forum yet somehow hadn't heard at all of what happened to him.
