    Impossible to tell now, but I voted no, because I think Williams will be just as good as he was before Martinez.

    How can we know for sure if Williams hasn't had a fight yet? If Williams gets ko'd in his next fight other than someone else that isn't Martinez I'd be worried. I hope fighters like Dzinziruk, Vanes, Angulo, Kirkland, or Cintron will be brave enough to try and test that chin. It might be them that get ko'd.

    You'll have to wait for his next fight for some indicators. A one punch KO loss could deffinately damage his confidence and may make he fight more cautiously in the future to repeat it.

    quick knockouts usually do less long term damage than a prolonged beating.

    It wasnt a long term beating but he was knocked out cold... That usually has a physical and mental effect...

    Only time will tell...

    ask yourself this question...
    Is anyone mentioning PW anymore in terms of big fights, and best fighters in the world?

    That makes no sense...who mentions any fighter after they have been knocked out cold?? Of course he is not going to just pick up where he where he left off...

    The question was "Has he been ruined"?

    Paul Williams now has a Fragile Glass Mandible. End of discussion.

    PWill, will bounce back like he did before. He has a great attitude and knows set backs go with the sport. He has to be better defensive and he will be fine.

    If that shot had have come on the end of 10 one sided rounds I would be worried.

    We'll see.

    I don't think anyone can accuse P-Will of having a glass jaw getting tagged with that battering ram of a left.

    Paul feels he can walk through punches and now that he's had a rude awakening, he better tighten up that D. PW now has to use his most important attributes! Height and Reach!!!!!

    I doubt he's ruined him... he's more than likely made him better.

    Williams is a good fighter, has an excellent record and an exciting style. The dude is a boxer - being hurt is part of his job and if anything, he'll learn from this and improve his game.

    We have to wait to see how Williams does in his next fight before we can tell.
