    You don't think Marg has an excellent chin??

    The amount of brutal shots he took was astonishing.

    His defense is alot better than Margarito's and he also moves his head and blocks punches at times. Shane wouldn't find Williams no where near as easy as Margarito ( who's actually has ZERO defense and walks squared up into punches). In fact i don't even think Williams has even been knocked down.

    Paul is starting to improve his defense, slowly but surely. Look at the Verno fight, defensively he is improving in leaps and bounds.

    I'm going with Shane. I know this is old and tired already, but Q set a blueprint for him to study. I know, Williams came in the second fighter much more prepared and on a mission. Shane is much stronger and way faster than Q. Those overhands tha Q was hitting Williams with is nothing to what Shane is going to do. "I just want knockouts". I think Mosley is on a search and destroy mission of the WW division. I don't think Williams could get down to WW healthy. If he loses, that will possibly be his excuse.

    As bad as everyone talks about Paul's defense, he has never ever sniffed the damn canvas... Not even close. He does get hit too much, but nowhere near as much as Margarito. No one can say for sure how good his chin is because no one has ever even dazed him, despite what the Margarito freaks say about that Round 11.

    Did Kolle, Verno, or Quintana in the 2nd fight land as many over hand rights as Quintana in the first fight? Cut the crap, Paul doesn't have Mayweather/ Toney level defense but he does have a decent defense that is improving fight by fight and he is starting to use his reach more as well.

    I really find it hard to see Shane beating Paul, the style is all wrong for him.

    Quintana is a southpaw( which i believe somewhat threw Williams off in their first fight because southpaws normally don't fight each other) and he also moves much more than Mosley. I think Shane's problems against southpaws and naturally bigger boxers should not be overlooked IMO.

    Mosley on points, decisively.

    Paul will give Mosley some trouble with his size and reach, but Shane will convincingly win enough rounds to take the decision, and might even drop Williams a few times in the process.

    Williams is all hype. He will never get past Winky.

    Not only that but Williams has fought some big punchers even when he was green, and neither time have i seen him wobbled or shook up. I know Walter

    Who is Kolle? Verno is older than dirt and Q never had a chance due to getting KO'ed. I believe Q still landed that overhand a couple of times. If someone can come out with the perfect gameplan, that would be Shane. He is like a new fighter. Maybe it is what others mentioned before, the divorce heated the fire in him. Okay, if he is still improving then stop calling out names like Shane. Williams is very hitable and Shane is going to hit that body like no one else. It will be a very interesting and exciting fight if it happens.

    That blueprint sure didn't work in the second fight huh? Even Quintana didn't know what hit him. Anyone closely following PW will attest to the fact that he's become a very different fighter since that loss. He's no longer throwing 100 arm punches a round. He's now using his size and power and sitting down on his punches and he's on a 3 KO streak.
