    PW hasn't stopped filling in as a man though, he's about what? 27?

    So if he were to dedicate himself in strength training and gaining some pounds, i don't see why he can't go up noticeably in the weight classes say 5-7 years from now, when he'll be 32-34.

    I say he can fight at a championship caliber up to 160. There are guys he could probably take at 168, but he would not be near championship material.

    :lol: I can see him being destroyed by Bute and the Super Six. He eats punches like snacks. A puncher like Bute or Abraham at 168 would be a short night. Ward would be a longer, also torturous night for Paul.

    It depends on the time frame. If we're talking right now, I don't see him being all that effective against big middleweights. If we're talking about later on, when he is 32-33 years old, He'll probably make some noise as high as 168.

    People don't seem to want to give the man credit for having heart, sure he'll take some punches but the dude has a pretty good chin and has demonstrated the ability to pick himself up and go back to work. I'm certainly not saying he can't be knocked out, but who can you really say that about? Furthermore to say he "can't punch" the weight, while I don't altogether disagree, we would first need to see him have a fight at that weight before it's said for sure. If I were him, I'd stay at 147 and clean out a solid division, then move up to 154 do the same, then go to 160 which would allow some of the young guys here to develop. I would go to 168 only in the case of a huge payday or legitimate undisputed title shot. There is really no telling what he could or couldn't do, but I would clean it out division by division as I worked up. Assuming that he can clean out the divisions obviously.
