Paul Williams likely paralyzed after wreck

[amat]

Wow what a terrible day in boxing news. Terrible, terrible news.

[MMASUX]

Wow, I'm in shock. I was just really excited to see he was going to fight canelo, and just seen this. Hopefully he heals and is able to live a full life.

[imp]

Paul will get through this. Hes a warrior..and still the best in the divison.

[Althugz]

WTF, this is awful! Such sad news

[chinchekked]

This is crap, hope he can pull through because he is apparently one of the nice guys of boxing.

[IamInuit]

Dam! Tapia, Williams and Thangthong all in a week.

Jesus Christ this is bullshit. Terrible news, Williams is a warrior and we can only pray that he can make a Vinny Paz type of comeback.

Realistically though his injuries look to be different and more severe than Pazienza's were.

I just hope and pray Williams can walk again forget about boxing.

Yeah this is tragic as hell, and there is no way he will ever box again. That he will gain back even some use of his legs is the best care scenario here, if it was a spinal injury. I doubt there has ever been an athlete in any sport who has made a comeback from major paralysis like this, for a fighter, forget it

[Mar]

I'm mutha fucking speechless. How sad.....wow

[Gandalf]

I'm gutted for the guy. Williams is one of my favourite fighters. I can't believe his career is over just like that. Bloody reckless drivers are one of my pet peeves and to think his career has been robbed because of another idiot not paying attention to their killing machine. It makes me fume.

I just hope Williams can recover as well as can be and that the person responsible for this pays the penalty.

[Majesty]

While this is sad that he is paralyzed Reading that report, it would have been a lot worse if he had hit that vehicle head on. So him avoiding it all together may have paralyzed him and left him a chance for recovery no matter how bleak, but hitting that vehicle head on would have been much worse

So I am very sad he is paralyzed but I am very relieved that he avoided what would have been the WORST outcome

[rjj tszyu]

Gotta feel for him on this one. I think he certainly would have been Canelo's biggest test to date. Huge shame that this has happened to him.

[p4pking]

I know this is in bad taste; but imagine if there were wheelchair boxing. Who on earth could beat Paul Williams with his reach and output?

[CFH]

This is just fucking terrible. It could have been a lot worse, but goddamn... Wish him all the best, he gave us some great fights.

[Dia bando]

Bad week for boxing first Tapia now Williams both family's must be going through hell, very sad for
all involved.
