    will it be considered an upset knowing that 160 isn't his weight class (although some would argue it is)? :huh

    Yes, it should be considered an upset. He has the frame of a middle and has fought there 10 times, albeit as a small middle in terms of poundage.

    Paul Williams fans are gonna be suprised how ordinary this kid looks at 160. I think he'll probably beat Kolle but who the hell is Kolle anyways? Being 6'1 is nothing special in the middleweight division, without his height advantage, I don't think Williams is elite.

    I think Williams will decision him comfortably, but nothing spectacular.

    Yes but his reach is 81 inches. Hearns only had a 78 inch reach. But i would agree with you that being 6'1'' aint **** in the middle weight division but remember Margo is 5'11'' and he was able to oubox him. So He may be a serious threat at 160lbs. I think he and his team know that wich is why he is taking this fight.

    Williams' reach is insane, if he can ever learn how to use it properly. At 81", he even has elite reach at middleweight. Hell, he has longer reach than half the elite heavyweights, and his reach is only 4 inches shorter than Valuev's.

    Probably helps set up a Pavlik fight in the future.

    That's because you don't know anything about television. Thursday nights are Versus and Fox fight nights, and this is on Versus.

    If he can't beat the 100th ranked MW in the weakest divvsion in this sport in under 3 rounds he should retire. Williams is undefeated as a MW all KO's according to fightnews.
