    Default Paul Williams' 82 inch reach is too long for anyone out there.

    Hell, Wlad's is 81 and Tommy Hearns had a reach of 78. Williams fights from the outside punishing his opponents with savage jabs and setting them up for the finishing straight shot down the pipe. He gets better with each fight. He just may be the most compelling fighter in his weight class.

    To much for anyone? No. You can get inside of a reach. But he is very good and to think he has a bigger reach then Ali is unbelievable. But he is a beast and will be champ one day imo.

    I can see him moving all the way up to 175 if he doesn't get damaged on the way

    If Williams threw a consistant sharp Jab then that may be true, but he doesn't and people get inside on him and he lets it happen so its not too much

    Just because he's 30 and 0 doesn't mean he's flawless

    Like Hearns, that reach favours him because when he hooks, his fist is closer to the target at the most powerful point of the arc of the punch, the fist has to travel lest distance. I can't explain it it words well, but do you know what I mean?

    I don't believe getting on the inside is necessarily the key... just someone too fast for him like PBF.. Williams is a very good fighter on the inside as well, and throws more punches than almost any other welterweight.

    No, thats due to the fact that he keeps fighting opponents like his last one Santos Pakau....

    And Wlad was beat by a harder puncher like Sanders and Hearns was beat by a slick boxer SRL.....

    When your bound to loose, your height, reach, power, stamina will not save you.
    Thats just part of destiny.

    Williams has that ability to do it either way inside or out , that is what makes him dangerous. and he throws many a punch, Williams has a great work rate along with excellent hand speed . I like a tall fighters that is willing to fight on the inside when it comes about, rather then hold on , andtie up . Paul has a finished look about him.

    I agre with Lords that Mofo is just as busy in his clinch as he is on the outside he seems like "Stretch Armstrong" with his inside and outside punching effectiveness... I dont care what anybody says he would have laid Margarito out to waste... Cotto and Williams are the Future at 147 and will serve the Kingdom until Floyd calls it a day...

    He may be tall like Tommy...He may have a longer reach than Tommy but thats where all the simularities stop.........Because even though he is 30-0 he sure as hell don't fight like Tommy!!!!
