I'm still a big fan of Williams, but he steadfast refuses to adapt his style to any particular opponent. It's that lack of versatility that has started to let him down. Calzaghe didn't just throw 90 punches a round in every fight and hope for the best. He could slip punches, lead with the jab, take it inside, take it outside. Williams just wants to roll in and wing it and hope that you can't keep up.

It works for the most part, but it's a shame he isn't willing to show new things.

In terms of opponents. I don't really know. Everyone else does seem to be busy. How about Pavlik after a Pavlik warm up. That would be fun and would allow both to answer questions.
Seen Williams alot and defo thought he sounded more punchy when I watched his fight yesterday, like some words were really slurred. Although his lip was swollen on one side which may not have helped. He outworked and outlanded Ishida every round but he ate WAY too many shots I thought. If I were him I would absolutyely stay at 154 and even look at going 147 again, at 160 he would get stopped again I'd say.

Chavez, Alvarez and Martinez all stop him IMO. Love watching the war unfold with him though, its a beautiful thing. I'd say he'd be a good match-up with Delvin Rodriguez at LM or maybe Angulo......
