Williams is formidable, with a hearns-like height and reach advantage at welter. He doesn't quite have Hearn's power, but he makes it up with a remarkable workrate. He's not as sophisticated a boxer as Hearns, but as far as we know he has a decent chin.

But I think he needs one more impressive victory to make people clamor for a fight with Pacman or PBF, both of whom probably see a low reward to risk ratio in a Williams bout. He should try to get cotto or mosely next and make his case. Impressive vicotries against either of those guys will make him hard to avoid.
