Paul Williams needs Emanuel Steward

[Pugilistic]

Williams doesn't necessarily need Steward as his trainer because I just can't imagine Williams fighting the way Steward wants his fighters to fight, he just can't do it.

He's a pressure/swarmer fighter.

He's done it his whole life and its worked for him more times than not so i don't see how changing his style completely will work. What he does need is someone who will improve his style as it is.

For example, Williams throws pitty pat punches instead of sitting on his punches. If Williams actually had some pop on all the shots he throws, guys wouldn't try and counter him so often because what he is throwing hurts. When he throws those silly pitty pat punches, the fighter doesn't respect him so they let their shots go more often without any concern on what Williams brings back.

He also needs to work on his footwork. Far too often he throws and waits far too long on his opponents chest which allows his opponent to set up their shots and release them. If Paul threw his shots and moved out, guys would have a tougher time countering him. Just because he's a pressure fighter doesn't mean he has to constantly be on his man's chest, you can make a guy work by making him miss then going back to work on him.

Williams defense obviously needs improving, far too often he leaves his hands low when he throws.

If Williams works on those things with the right trainer, he will not only improve defensively but he will be a better offensive fighter as well which will make him much harder to beat.

I hope he can get better because Williams is a nice guy who is willing to fight anyone, he deserves props for that.

Paul is what he is and cannot change fundamentally too much. He is fighting great competition and is doing well. If he was with another promotion would he get an easier ride? Maybe that is the issue, as opposed to his technique, he is an all action type of fighter like Corrales was and he cannot change that, he could do with some tweaking but nothing else.
