Is Paul Williams Special?

lets assume Paul is special and good. Objectively he isn't gonna to hold his weight
with his height for a longer time and year after year he will be forced to change
divisions. Lest assume also he is good enough to get title at each division he stays.

So ... where do you think he will end? Is he capable to win title at LHW,
maybe Cruiser or will he be the first WW who get belt at HW?

 

he's ok, i dont think we're lookin at a hall of famer, but.....he's huge compared to the guys he's fighting, so that alone will take him places, i see him the same way i see Caballero, is he as great as Vasquez and Marquez or Juanma even? no, but he's big enough to pose a serious problem to them, same with Williams and the other elite fighters btwn. 147-154

 

yea your right about him missing out on big fights at WW. Its not his fault cuase he was more then willing to step in the ring with anybody. We as fans missed out as well. That Cintron fake injury was a big cop put and Arum's unwilliness to deal with Paul is a ***** ass move.

 

The bones are still growing with age and the skinny factor depends
on the amount of muscles. Paul is very fit right now and adding like
20-30 lb should not be a big deal for him so he may easily fit to the 175 frame.
Maybe the power will not follow with him at the same rate
but he is more boxer than puncher right now.

The question is: is he good enough (in the boxing skills sense)
to keep his record straight at the higher weight classes?

Is he capable to beat Pavlik, Kessler, Hopkins or Dawson
if the weight difference would be removed?

 

I'm a Williams fan. Can't wait for Saturday night and while I'm confident he'll come out on top, I am also a bit worried that like Mosley and Hopkins, Wright might teach the younger fighter to respect their elders.
He won't knock Paul out but he won't make it easy either.
But to answer you question; if he beats Wright convincingly, then yeah. He might just be special

 

Its not complaining .... he is in the advantage now with his height
for sure, but this is just a gift from god, he may use it in may ways.

The skills are sometimes much more important than the size
... just ask DLH whether his size was factor against smaller Floyd and PAC.

SO no matter how weird torso would have Paul at 175 ... the question is still valid:
Is he good enough to beat anyone from Pavlik, Kessler, Dawson or Hopkins?

 

Don't get me wrong, I hope he does become something special someday. But right now, he just doesn't do it for me.

 

difference is, you dont see the flaws that you see in Williams when you look at those 2, if you cut them both down to your average sized WW or HW, they're still clearly great fighters based off of skill level and attributes alone, you dont get that with Williams

 

This dude is a Middle Trynna Ko Welters. He better take advantage while the division is flooded. Because theres no way this guy can keep this up. Its all down hill when he moves to middle those guys are tough and been knoking out middles

 

winky will take him out
