    First and foremost we don't want people to forget Sergio Martinez, who might be able to take what Carlos Quintana exposed in Paul Williams to new painful ass-whipping heights. That's a somewhat blind bet I might be generous with.

    I honestly think that Williams is too strong for the fighters at 147...Im not going to say that no one can beat him cuz someone already has, but I would say that Williams would beat everyone at 147.

    154 is a different story, I think there are several fighters that could beat him there...

    160 I think that most of the fighters in the top 5 to 8 would be very tough fights for Williams, he would lost alot of his advantages there, williams will have to find a style that works for him, he isnt going to be able to do what ever he wants there the way that he can at 147...

    Pavlik and Abraham give him brain damage in a fight that has everyone terrified while watching Paul on his back unconcious for an extended period of time. Pwnage from hell.

    I just find it amazing that a fighter can jump weight classes and fight like nothing happened in terms of weight differences in between fights. I mean how many guys can do this? I mean just physically do it and not be affected? He's good for boxing. It would be unreal if he can dominate 3 divisions at once. Hey, it's this type of stuff that can attract new fans. He's made boxing more exciting. :good

    :rofl

    Serious note though, Abraham would undoubtedly be too big and too strong of a puncher for Williams to handle.

    A good fighter is a good fighter and sometimes fans put too much on moving up in weight. It really depends on the kind of fighter you are...If you a guy that mauls people then moving up in weight will be alot tougher then for a fighters that is a boxer.

    i think at 147 he is the man at 154 he dominates still and at 160 pav &abraham are going to be a problem but he has a big frame he could move into 160 very easily just hope he dont rush it......also i like martinez i never heard of the guy til i was at the williams quintana fight and he blew me away he has a great style

    For the guys saying Abraham and Pavlik, yes there is a possibility that they might blow PW out of the water. But even you have to admit that there is a possibility that PW might be able to stand toe to toe with these guys and maybe even hurt them. That's what makes PW so intriguing. His ability to jump weight and fight the best at each weight and give people the impression that he might be able to not only hold his own, but beat the best at multiple divisions.

    147: Margarito has a decent chance if they ever fight again. Cotto would have a chance but he would be the clear underdog.

    154: Santos and Martinez. Rafa made a good point about Martinez.

    160: Abraham and Pavlik.
