Paul Williams beats any fighter in the World 154 and down

He showed he is capable of having bad night but is learning from it and improving rapidly, i would have him as favourite against any fighter under 154 and probably AA at 160. He would beat Floyd at this point pretty comfortably based on his ridiculous work rate and reach. I think he can be beaten, he is hittable, but i wouldn't favour anyone single fighter under 154 to do it.

 

Dzinziruk and PBF would beat him. Assuming I see some more fights of Kirkland against top comp, I might even give Kirkland a shot as well considering that both guys will come forward and Kirkland hits harder. Kirkland would have that "punchers chance".

As per the WW class? I think he pretty much handles the class. I'd give Miguel an outside shot but Paul has a tremendous uppercut and that's Cotto's bugaboo.

 

You've never seen Celestino Caballero?

He's basically Paul Williams at a lower weight class.

 

Not to "toot" my own horn or anything but the fight went down exactly like I said it would. Well....Wink under performed! I thought he would win a few rounds but this was a shut out. Paul is beatable but he is truly a special fighter. I hope people will now appreciate Paul's underrated Defence especially. Top 5 for sure in my opinion. He moves up and down from 160 to 147 and consistantly performs.

 

Caballero has nowhere near the workrate or combination-punching of Williams.

The only thing they have in common is that they're both tall for their weight class.

 

Nobody else agree with me? : p

 

Who does? He's extremely close though.

yep

 

No, he's not. Like I said, the only similarity is that they're both tall for their weight class.

Different guard, different approaches to fighting, different levels of workrate, different levels of combination punching...

 

Well he fights in a tougher weight class. 122 has all sorts of big names in it. Izzy, Rafa, JML, Penalosa, Johny Gonzalez, Bernard Dunne and what not. Tough tough weight class.

Sad that Bob Arum hates Williams. Lot of big fights we'll never see because of it.

 

I'm glad that Williams is now getting the proper respect he deserves. I hope Shane or some of the WWs gives the man a shot so that he can operate in the division he prefers.
