Will.....CAN PAul Williams do this??

[THE REAL NINJA]

I don't think his punches are that soft. A guy who's 6'1 should have some power, he just needs to put more snap into it. He did well against Margarito and he looks like he's improving after every fight. Does anyone know his amateur career?

Wiki says 20-25 fights

On boxrec, they say that paul williams has longer arms then wlads... What a freak of nature, and the only reason he sticks in the welter-weight division is because it's the only division he'd have some what of power in.

its not really the arms, they measure from the finger tip straight across the back to the other finger tip on the other arm..

Audley Harrison - 86”

Paul Williams - 82”

Get a title at welter, move to middle, and get one, and then to supermiddle and get one??
RJJ is 5'11"..and a reach of 74...Toney is 5'10" and a reach of 72, and they both moved up...Williams is 6'1", and a reach of 84.....Do you think he can clean house at 3 weight divisions??

Although his size is a helping hand in this he would really have to improve alot!!!

Williams is no RJJ or Toney!!! He might make it to Mw if he is lucky but i cant see him being half as good as roy and james!!!

Quit lying to yourself and admit your sorry as can be hero just got his ass beat

I don't understand, Margarito isn't my "hero" and never has been. Williams didn't impress me overly. He threw a million punches, none of which were powerful, he lacks defense and while he looked OK when he was jabbing from the outside he spent most of the fight looking flustered and hurt. He landed more punches by far but this was not an amateur contest. The aim isn't to outland your opponent...

Winky doesn't win by pressuring his opponents, he wins by not getting hit. Williams has no power and gets hit frequently.

that explains williams outlanding margarito
williams kan take 10 shots but he will give 20 in return, he will always win with that stat
also, winky doesnt get hit?
when winky stepped up and fought a hard strong fighter (jermain taylor)
he got hit more than he ever had been hit in his career (sam soliman did this also) but jermain's power left scuff marks all over winky's face even with the
peek a boo defense he stole from ike quartey, anyways power = **** when u kan outland ur opponent and not get hurt by their best shot (which williams did recieve from margarito, HIS BEST SHOTS) williams kept coming forward, u didnt see him on his bike ala mayweather/hopkins/de la hoya
margarito was a tough power puncher and if williams kan take his punch he kant take anybodys
stop hating on the kid, he is similar to winky wright in that wut he does is simple but it works for him and he will win until someone kan outwork him or knock him out

boxing is judged on three characteristics
affective aggressiveness
clean/accurate punching
ring generalship

if u watched the fight u would kno that williams was the affective aggressor not just visually but statistically, he dominated with triple and quadruple jabs + straight lefts to the body

clean accurate punching , went to williams with his combos again, margarito was way off with looping shots and statiscally again williams got the upper hand

ring generalship easily went to williams who was moving in and out spinning around and pushing margarito off when the clinched

your points are so biased and unreal i dont kno why im wasting time to talk about this, when did boxing become a power shot only sport? the fight was quite simple, margarito hit and got hit, paul williams hit and got hit, williams landed more hits, therefore he won...simple as that, they did the same thing (in your eyes only) although you would argue margarito landed the "harder shots" but what's better 1 hard shot (that doesn't knock out wobble or hurt an opponent) or 10 jabs and straights that keep your opponent at bay
grow up and give williams credit
he outboxed margarito took his best shots
outlanded and outworked him and sent him home
title less

final note....
why do u guys think boxing has a scoring system
the scoring system is set to determine the winner in kase a knockout
doesnt end it, u dont need power to become a successful boxer, u kan outpoint your opponents such as mayweather is doing now since he moved up to 147-154 and winky wright has been doing since 154 up to 160
williams may lack power but it isnt necessarry because he earns enough points to secure his victory, hate on him if u want, this kid is the real deal
look forward to him being the most ducked opponent since margarito
