I don't see anyone with a hard enough punch to stop Williams under 160, that includes all of the elite fighters too. I really think that this kid could be the most underrated fighter in boxing. For god sakes, he will always be the much bigger man from welterweight to middleweight, he uses his jab, he throws 100 punches a round regularly, he's exciting, his defense is lacking but he'll fix his problems with experience. I really don't see anyone beating Williams under 160 right now, that includes Floyd, De La Hoya, Margarito, Mosley, Judah, any of these guys. The guy is just WAY too active and too big and has a good sturdy chin. PBF can't potshot someone that active and big without getting caught. And he's so busy De La Hoya and the rest of these guys will tire out late. He's like Kassim Ouma with a TON more size and a more power. His promoter really needs to step up his competition though, they need to set him up with the winner of Margy/Clottey, then beat up on Collazo, and then bait the winner of Cotto/Quintana into a fight.

I think there must be two Paul Williams in the division as the one your talking about I don't know at all!

The Williams who beat Sharmba Mitchell in a size mismatch but who still got caught flush several times and the Williams who struggled to put away that non-nentity who he fought last month, (the guy who took the fight at 24 hours notice) would be in way over his head with Margarito.

His size will give a lot of people problems for sure, but he has no power in his punches, and he cant possibly be strong at this weight, he looks like a big right hand could snap him in two.

If and when him and Margarito get it on I'm predicting him to be KO'd within 8 rounds.

His height is a big advantage over the smaller welters but he doesnt have a whole lot else going for him. He throws a lot of punches but he's no Tommy Hearns. As for moving up to 160, I can name loads of people who would kick his ass, Mosely, De La Hoya, Ouma, Powell, Winky, Taylor etc.

He will get found out soon enough......
