    Paul Williams was a weird WW. He didn't seem to know how to use his height though. Could have been impossible were he to use distance and use the jab more. Seemed to just want to fight and it was his undoing in some of those close fights. I hope he is doing okay. A fun fighter.

    Definite specimen and was a buzz saw oddly enough on the inside. Only time I remember him coming close to fighting his height was Margarito ? and looked good. After his accident his personality still shines, humble and humor intact.

    Kingsley Ikeke was pretty tall for a middleweight at 6'4
    Alexis Arguello was pretty tall for his weight class 5'10
    Chico Corrales was fairly tall

    Taishan Dong is a 7 ft tall heavyweight that's 6(3 KO)-0-0

    Julius 'Towering Inferno' Long is listed at 7'1

    Chico Coralles never fought tall like Williams.

    Tyson Fury is unusually tall too.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Very correct and that caused for him to be less successful but very entertaining.....everyone see how this works now?


    I really hate that both Chico and PW (and Edwin Valero to an extent, it put the plate in his head which meant he couldn't fight in the US which meant he couldn't test himself vs the very best and this was before he murdered his gf and hung himself) were ruined by motorcycle accidents

    Lots of lost potential.....Corrales vs Erik Morales would have been a great fight. Corrales vs Pacquiao would have been fun too.
