I think he had hit his peak for the most part. I believe he had the size, speed, power, and most importantly reach to really bother Floyd Mayweather Jr., but he had already moved to 160 before getting a shot vs Floyd.

Paul had the size to fight almost to 175. He had a great reach but may have been helped had he learned more technical skills instead of relying on his stamina and chin. I am not sure he could have recovered from the KO loss to Martinez....I think he would have had a WAR with GGG, Canelo, Cotto, and maybe even Kirkland as I could see those styles match up very well.


He was an exciting fighter and I wish him all the best in his recovery
