How the hell does Paul Williams make weight?

[Deanrw]

for PW's "lack" of power, he has a great KO ratio..

If i were him i'd be really kicking myself, becuase he should still be undefeated.. You lose to a guy, and then rematch him and KO him in the first round.. you have to consider yourself underprepared for the first fight, and that is the worst loss to deal with.

I am still reserved on my view of Paul. I really still do not know what he brings to the table. The KO of Quintana, as impressive as it was, did not showcase any improvements for me as it was a blowout. Was it an improvement or did he just catch him by surprise when Quintana was cold?

Quintana did some great boxing in the first fight and really seemed to have Paul's number. It will take another fight from Paul to see where he stands at. We know he will give Margarito a great fight, but it is still very difficult to label him the next big thing right now.

Call me cautiously optimistic!hehe

Williams is a freak.

The more lean muscle mass you have the more water weight you can drain out of your body.

Paul is a freak, a WW with a HW's reach.

Agreed. I think a rubber match between Quintana and Williams is more important than the Williams-Margarito rematch.

I like Williams a lot (despite my opinions on his power) but i feel Quintana has has a lot more to offer than a 1st round KO loss.

Not only does the guy make weight, but he has recently done it with room to spare.

Trinidad had problems for awhile making welterweight, and he was always at the 147 limit. Castillo sometimes didn't even make lightweight when he was supposed to, and when he did, it was 135 on the nose, or 134.5.

In three of Williams' last 6 fights, he's weighed below 146.
