Paul Williams was a beast in his prime years. Non stop punches from all angles would have been too much for Crawford to handle imo. The Punisher by Decision.
I'd definitely tap Paul to beat Crawford at WW. His only real blip at WW was a victory lap in the first Quintana fight which he rectified in 2 minutes in the second one.
Bump. This would have been a fun fight. Paul Williams in his prime was a real nightmare for most fighters. However, he has shown to be vulnerable to other southpaws like Quintana, Martinez, and Lara. Crawford would surely light up Williams.
At 147 yes crawford beats him. I loved Williams but he was easy to hit and had a low ring iq. Crawford would tee off and counter the **** outta him.
Yes Crawford wins Williams was schooled by Quintana who was a slick Southpaw and who was a level below Crawford. And was also schooled by Lara another Slick Southpaw. I really liked Williams as a fighter his fights vs Martinez, Margarito, were great. But he gets hit way too much for my liking, and he would be vulnerable to Crawford's counter punches and Southpaw stance which he had trouble with.
Southpaw and counterpunching would triuble williams alot. But his high output would be a problem early on. I think it would be a close decision or late Bud tko.
