How good was Paul Williams?

Best 147 fighter of all time

 

Mayweather WAS SCARED TO DEATH of him!

 

If this is a joke, then it's not even a funny one.

 

Would of given Mayweather all sorts od problems imo. Not saying he would of won but would of been interesting, when was the last time Floyd fought a guy who threw over a 100 punches a round?

 

Williams was a decent fighter at best I never understood all the hype people threw on him, he made his name fighting guys he dwarfed over and once he started fighting guy close to his size he was exposed. He seems like a cool dude but as a boxer he doesn't deserve half the praise he gets on any top level resume noone is going to brag about beating Quintana, Margarito or a old Wright, let's not even start on the Lara/Martinez I robberies or the brutal KO in Martinez II. For thre people who always prop up Williams what about his career/resume gives you the impression he's this great fighter

 

Good enough for the top WW to duck him. He had moderate boxing ability but he would havegiven Floyd hell. 1. PW didnt get flustered when his punches didnt land like the imbeciles hes been fighting. 2 his reach was ridiculous 3. Even though Floyd outboxes him easily, judges reward volume. Ask Erislandy Lara.

 

paul was really good. has alot of good wins. and is honest man who comes to fite. he never makes any excuses if he loses.

the lara fight was a mess though. he deff lost that one.

 

He might not have been supremely skilled (though not bad), but he had other qualities that made him very dangerous at 147 and 154.

 

He was a good fighter, but his whiskers weren't the greatest.

 

U no what I'm saying......

 

Kermit The Frog Cintron, jumped out of the ring.

 

One of the most fun fighters to watch during his peak. He never lost to an orthodox fighter, only slick southpaws. His first fight with Martinez is a classic. Martinez went on to be a dominant middleweight. He beat a prime Margarito. Had good head movement and high volume. Floyd ducked him because he never faces fighters that have significant advantages like height and reach and was shook, whether he would have won or not he bitched out so well never know. I don't care what anyone says, Margarito in his prime was a big threat to Mayweather too but Paul Williams fought and beat home to become the most feared fighter from 147 - 154.

 

Paul Williams would have been a problem for Mayweather because of his height and reach. I read that Williams is improving some now, might even be able to walk once again. I hope so. I did not like seeing him in a wheelchair...............was very sad..............
