    I cannot see where all this Williams is unbeatable talk is coming from, first of all he has been beaten before and he just got through on a close one with Margarito. He beats up on an inactive and old Winky Wright and all of a sudden every one is prematurely blowing their loads! Williams V Cotto or Mosely is a must if he goes back to 147lb, PBF will stay retired upon seeing this result. I agree that no one currently beats him at 154lb but hold your horses with Williams taking out Pavlik or Abraham. I would like to see Williams go back to the strong 147lb division and give us some great fights before tackling the likes of the Pav and King Arthur! Is Forrest on the cards?

    I'm not sure how healthy it would be for Williams to drop back down two weight divisions again now historically that has never worked out very well for anybody. He still looks super skinny at 160 at 147 now he'd look emaciated.

    I'd love to see him fight Sugar Shane, maybe they could fight at 154 for Williams world title if he wasn't forced to vacate in order to fight Winky.

    I don't think there is any chance Floyd will ever face him a stylistic and size nightmare for him but I also don't blame Floyd that much, Williams is in no way a natural welterweight, he could be fighting at cruiserweight even he's massive, dwarfing Winky last night.

    I'd like to see him fight people his own size and see how good he really is.

    Normally, I would agree about trying to move back down, but I think Williams is one of those rare guys with insane metabolism who could do it. I don't know if you caught the HBO telecast, but in a segment before the fight they were saying he has little trouble making 147 and that since he was fighting at 160 he could eat whether he wanted, they showed him eating a bunch of wings in a restaurant. And he only weighed 157 at the weigh. I think he can still hit the weight, but I doubt any big name there will fight him. Would love to see him against Mosley, though.

    He beat the crap out of margarito, 10 rounds to 2. it was a blowout. How does anyone see that fight as close. Quintana didn't blow him out either, it was close and we all saw how lucky quintana was the first fight.

    Funniest part to me was when Emmanuel Steward says: "Oh my god, I cant believe this" when Williams comes out throwing the same speed and volume of punches in the 12th.

    I'd like to see Williams settle in at middleweight and fight there consistently.

    What I really want to see is Pavlik-Williams for the middlweight title. When you consider the styles of each guy, I don't see how that wouldn't be a great fight with tons of action.

    Your the only one who saw it as a blowout, the judges and press had it 115-113 or a draw on at least 12 cards i have seen. I had it 116-112 and could have gone either way on a couple of rounds, Williams workrate was superior to that of Margarito. Quintana beat him comfortably in the first fight and i think Williams has his flaws that could well be exploited in fights with both Pavlik and Abraham. Perhaps a fight with Forrest in the meantime could set him up nicely for a future showdown at 160lb? The big money will be V Cotto or Mosley so it will be up to him if he wishes to go back down to 147lb, he has time on his side before leaping into the Middleweight division head on.
    Other possibilities are Martinez or Mundine? I envy Paul Williams because he has it all at his feet and has a fantastic opportunity ahead of him. One thing is for certain PBF will be running far and running fast from any negotiating table that brings up the name Paul Williams.
