    I'll admit it....I'm a cynical old *******. But the Paul Williams interview with Jim Gray really impressed me. He has such a great and positive attitude after the accident that left him paralyzed in a wheelchair is truly inspiring. He's a real champion IMO!

    I agree, I almost got a little emotional seeing his positive attitude throughout all of this. Really puts things in life in perspective

    How he keeps such a positive attitude I have no idea but it's really inspiring to see it when you think of the problems people have these day's that they cry about yet this man can't walk and he's still enjoying life.

    Hakuna Matata.

    Brave guy, I doubt I'd have the strength to stay as positive as that.

    Guy is amazing

    Used to normally walking around at 6'2" above most people

    Now he is in a wheelchair yet his confidence and mentality are untouched.

    Has he always spoken like that or is it also because of the accident?

    From what I can remember about Paul, he was always a class act. Which is a rarity these days in Boxing. Sadly, most of the "good guys" don't get much recognition. It's those people cursing, and saying stupid things that get a lot of the attention.

    Damn I got tears from that interview for real. "A SMALL THING TO A GIANT." Much respect Paul. Thoughts and prayers going out to you.
