    How does the Williams of current match up against a prime Graham at 160.

    If that was a past prime Graham that was beating Julian Jackson then the prime Graham would beat this version of Paul, of course Paul still has time to improve however

    Based on current form Id go with Herol to win quite wide on points.

    Graham was beating Jackson up (and like KOTF said), was a past-prime Graham.

    If it's a PRIME Herol Graham, i'd have him winning by wide UD.

    herol WIDE

    pretty long and lanky is graham aswell. has a size advantage and is a southpaw so less likably to be confuzed.

    williams i like but he got soundly boxed by quintana...which for some people they have amnesia over the subject.

    herol i think can do the same. quintanas style is as smooth or as fluid as grahams. he just landed sharp jabs and counters.

    bomber wont stand infront of him ala winky.


    i see a def herol lopsided ud.

    Too early for Paul to be matched with the vastly talented Graham. Graham by comfortable verdict...given "The Punisher" as a middleweight - to date.

    Bit harsh putting Williams against Graham.

    Graham is well known for being awkward as ****. If he could outfox McCallum (and he did, in parts although I scored it for Mike) then he would frustrate the Hell out of Williams.

    Graham's chin wasn't bad IMO. I think his movement and switch-hitting would cause Williams workrate to drop, and Graham would win on points by looking more effective.

    This could change in a few months; I expect Williams to do pretty well at middle. I'm not going to pick him based on Andy Kolle (undeniably impressive K.O though) and Wright (inactive but again, very impressive shutout)

    I;m not discounting Williams' form at iddle AT ALL; to the contrary I think he's done pretty well, even looking at the variables (Kolle; who is he. Wright inactive etc etc) but Graham?

    Not at the moment for me.
