Williams is overreated.
Kotsa wouldnt surprise me at all if he were to brutally stop Williams. The man doesnt fight tall, and has worse defense than Margacheato
Williams does apply a lot of pressure but we're talking about a 2001 Tszyu, not the 2005 Tszyu who had barely fought in 2 years who fought Ricky Hatton. Williams is slightly overrated imo by the hardcore fans, I'm a big fan of his because of his entertaining volume punching style but his defence is very poor for a top class fighter and I see Tszyu landing big counter-rights all night and possibly stopping him late on.
Michael Spinks had never fought at HW before, but he still beat ATG HW Larry Holmes....Just sayin. :)
Yeah, but Paul has a nightmare style for Tszyu. I know this is a different Kostya we're talking about, but he got tired from Ricky Hatton's brand of pressure. Now imagine Paul Williams constant power punches from ridiculous angles against a fighter with already questionable heart.

Williams applies too much pressure for him its a bad style matchup.
It is kinda a bad style match up for Tsyzu cos Williams puts on a lot of pressure. But Williams is just so wide open to counter right hands so I can see him getting KTFO.
Paul smothers him. Kostya never fought at welterweight and I don't know that his incredible power would be quite the same. Paul eats some big shots, but Kostya would fatigue at that ridiculous pace.
