Who do you see winning in this fantasy matchup both guys bring great spirit to the ring and would be one for the ages lets say the Paul Williams that fought Margarito
This would be a nightmare for Thurman. He would have trouble to hurt Williams and stop him from throwing punches. Williams would just overrun him. Late TKO.
Prime Williams gave both a beast in margarito all he could handle, he also went tooth and nail with Sergio Martinez. Thurman best win at this stage is Porter and former 140 pounder in Garcia. I would have to give the edge to Williams by UD.
Paul Williams would beat Thurman clearly, on points. Thurman's defense is too porous, and Williams' work rate is too high.
williams destroyed a cement fisted fighter in his prime, thurman would get overwhelmed by 1000+ punches. Williams was huge at 147 and was kicked out of the division. Williams isn't low volume counter puncher Garcia. Punisher will break Thurman
Only real problems I've ever seen Paul have were with southpaws that moved. I'd like to think Keith could out move and pot shot Paul, but I think Paul would just drown him in workrate.
Williams would soundly outbox Thurman. Not a lot of guys wanted to face Williams. Even Pavlik ducked him and he'd break Thurman in half.
