How high can Paul Williams move up??

I wouldn't be surprised if he could move up to 168 or even 175. He's skinny as hell at 147. Not sure if he'll be as effective.

I think people overestimate height a lot in boxing...

just because guys like Corrales and Williams are 6'0+...doesn't mean they can "EASILY" fight at heavyweight...

genetically they just happened to be tall for the weight they are most fit at...

we saw what happened with Corrales when he moved up...sure 6'0+ means they could walk around at 160-180lbs...but that doesn't translate to an "effective fighting weight"....

genetics.i bet he was always a skinny dude ,if he was naturally a 168 pounder there is no doubt in my mind that he would fight at 168....

its not that easy to put on muscle mass without roids...

I don't think he'll have much effective power if he moves up, he's not a big puncher in the WW division as it is. It's the huge amount of punches and his length that keeps his opponents off of him and allows for him to control the fight and eventually force stoppages.
