But we may see him back in a few months and for a title, that's what boxing is becoming, it's just gonna be a great trilogy, and a knockout in 2 isn't going to end that he is a world title challenger and champion at 154 still I believe.
I agree with your premise but Paul is going to have to show me he's fully recovered from that KO. A KO like that can really change a fighter....I hope he comes back strong as ever but I have my doubts until I see him do it.
Im certainly with you on that. I cant name a fighter in my recent history that got sparked lights out and then picked himself up and resumed superstardom?

Is that better than say getting pummeled like Lacy did for 12 rounds against Calzaghe or is it just as devestating mentally?
Amir Khan.
forgot about him. I think the difference is Kahn had a rep for a shaky chin and Williams had a iron chin and literally face planted unconcious with his eyes open
Yeah but I don't care how iron chinned you are, if you don't defend yourself and leave yourself as open to shots as Williams does, chances are that will happen to you. He needs to work on his defence big time if he wants to make it back to superstardom. He should drop down to 154 and build his confidence back up.
