    He doesn't have enough power for that

    it has nothing to do with power it is his style. wlads 1-2, 1-2, 1-2 may work in the weak ass heavyweight division but it would get beat worse by Lara than Pwill did.

    if you are asking if he should fight tall, the obvious question is yes. fighting tall and using a wider range of punches is his best bet. simply put Pwill needs a new trainer!

    Paul doesn't have Wlad's reflexes. There is a reason why he doesn't fight like that... he can't.

    PW actually has better reflexes than Wlad, not to mention he's a lot quicker and can throw in mad combinations. You're just a one dimensional homoerotic Wlad lover and cannot see it.

    I have eyes and can see Williams is as skilled as they come. Ring intelligence and the right kind of training is what he lacks.

    If Wlad had 1/10 the fighting spirit of Williams, we'd all be the better for it.

    Williams would do a lot better, but he will always depend on his personal criminal judges.............

    :-( Paul Williams can't avoid being hit flush even when he isn't punching. His defensive reflexes are absolutely horrible.

    Not too long ago Wladie had thesame kind of problems and was getting KTFO cold by fringe contenders, until the right kind of trainer came along and threw him a life line.

    Williams reflexes were suspect yesterday as he couldn't slip the over hand left to save his life. Even when he tried a couple times he couldn't move his head fast enough.

    Williams has far more dire holes in his game to correct, like correctly learning how to turn over a punch.

    I'll leave it to the ******s to speculate the would have, could have, should haves.

    Paul does not have Wlad's skills. I hold that truth to be self evident. Never did, never will.

    Williams is tall but he is fighting guys his weight, so he still has to take hard punches against guys he is the same weight. Vlad is tall and heavy. So he has the advantage in everything. Williams height is be a hindrance if his opponent exploits it.

    I'm not a Klit fan, mainly because of their nuthugger fans BUT PW does NOT have the power or the Jab that Wlad has. He would be better if he had Emanual Steward though.

    Man, I really think PW needs to switch trainers. He's throwing all his hooks with his arms, and not his body. I've seen the guy throw good straight shots, like in his first fight with Martinez. But he just throws way too many arm shots aka slapping shots, while leaving his chin out there.

    PW can still be a great fighter, but he's got so many bad habits its ludicrous. Call Jesse Reid.
