Paul Williams possibly returning to Welterweight in May

[skel1983]

well, welter is where the action is. the best 2, arguably 3, fighters in the game are there...and williams could make an argument for 4, as he doesn't get enough credit for defeating, indeed fighting, the impenetrable winky wright.

pbf is srl, pac is duran, and williams is hearns. mosley as hagler doesn't make sense but he is a bit of an aaron pryor, except this time srl gave him a fight.

the great ones fight the great ones. this is what its all about. i welcome williams move.

The fact that Winky had not fought for nearly 2 years and also was nearly 38 years old and has not fought since the Williams defeat takes the gloss from the victory, It was a decent win but nothing more. Winky was a 37 1/2 year old inactive fighter who was coming off a defeat at 175.

To be fair there wasn't anything Wright could have done in his prime to make that outcome any different. His age was not a factor, it was his style.

I'm not saying he would of beat him at any other time in his career but his inactivity imo and his age was a big factor to how the fight went ( total shut out) Winky after not fighting at the weight for nearly three years and not fighting for two at nearly 38 did him no favours.
