    Paul lost a fight he should have won, and then very quickly and emphatically avenged the loss. Now he is fighting a hall of fame level fighter in a division he has really only flirted with in the past. So far, so good.

    If he can get the win over a decent looking version of Winky, that's a very nice win. I'd pick him to beat Abraham tomorrow. If he beats Winky, I'd pick him over AA with great confidence. However, this is where the problems start. He can outbox and outwork AA to win a clear decision, but Abraham will not have a title after November 7th, and Pavlik is a stylisitic nightmare for Paul. I like Paul, but unless he makes some substantial style changes, he should not go near Pavlik. Right now Kelly would just go into full bully mode and beat 7 shades of **** out of Williams in about 5-6 rounds. If he'll learn to move his head better, and keep his ****ing hands up, that could change.

    At 147 I think he is very special..He could probably take all the belts and unify..PROBLEM IS HE CANT GET BIG FIGHTS AT 147..I do think he'll be a unified champion in the next 3 years at 1 of the 4 divisions he says he can fight at!

    He has gifts, but still a lot to prove. A win over Winky is a really good win; regardless of the 2-year layoff. Problem is, Winky knows this is his last shot so he is gonna be well prepared so Paul is gonna have to be at his absolute best. Don't know if he's ready for all that. This isn't some bum 160lb. fighter Paul is about to face.

    No.

    He has a very good chin, outstading work-rate and great height.

    Yes he destroyed Quintana in a round in the rematch, but the fact he was bamboozled for 12 rounds in the original rate by nothing more than a solid contender at 147 shows me he has serious flaws, flaws that special fighters don't have, and flaws that Winky will exploit.

    Paul's work rate + Winky's long layoff = Williams by UD

    The first Williams-Quintana fight was closer than people made it out to be. I hear people say Quintana dominated Williams which is a lie. Quintana won the fight 115-113 imo. I'm not sure if Williams is special but he has the tools to be special. He has height, chin, reach, deceptive power and good hand speed which not all fighter's have.
