I remember how high everyone one was on him 10 years ago, what a waste his career has been.

Carson Jones is pretty underrated so it should be good. He's good at pulling the upset.

I remember Williams losing to the chicken (Valenzuela) and he was never that inspired despite his god given gifts and Olympic pedigree.

If he fights like he can, it should be a helluva fight to see.

he was a descent fighter before he got locked up; even better at the olympics.

best part of his career is behind him vs weak opposition.. a SD last fight vs best opponent and only name was last yr vs Philly John Brown, 43 yrs...if he wins NABF he'll be in faster company he may not be ready for & he's not a big welter...he just blew 10 yrs of his career...

I remember Juan Valenzuela! He was on a roll & then just vanished - had a quick comeback then vanished again.

Williams was too caught up in the family 'business' to focus on his career.

This kid is use to being a sparring patner now!

Ricardo, was real slick as an amature but those days are far behind him now. I can remember him beating a young James Countryman a guy from Detroit who I know could fight. He stopped him too! He was looked at with high regards but now I look at Mr. Carson jones on the upswing. If I had to pick a winner I would go with Jones now maybe even by KO.
