    What's the best weight class for PW at this point? I don't really think he should move down to 147, seems like it would be hard for him to make the weight comfortably. He looks good at 160 though. What do you guys think??

    I would like to see him between 154-160. He seems to have a comfort zone around there. He doesn't have to cut weight as much, fills out nicely with his frame, he still has very good speed, and the power is there as well.

    I don't see a fighter who can beat him at 147 but I think his best weight might be north of that.

    I think 154...If you really look at middleweight it isnt that strong. Pavlik AA and thats about it. Overall its pretty weak and not many up-and-comers to make it interesting..

    If Williams hangs around the 154 he has more big fights down the road..Fights with Mosley, Mayweather, Cotto(Wont happen unless Cotto leaves Arum), from 147, then there are the guys from 154 Like Santos, Dzinziruk, Martinez, and comers like Kirkland and Angulo who are Pauls age. Many more exciting fights for him if he stays at 154.

    true there are more big fights for him at 154 but the money fights are in 160 with pavlik and abraham. But i would love to see mosley or cotto come up to 154 and fight him.

    Cotto is my fav boxer right now and Id hate to see him in there with PW. His length and workout is a nightmare for anyone and Cotto isnt the tallest guy. I'm not sure how he woule be able to handle him.
