Paul Williams reach is greater than Wladimir Klitschko's

[Scott9945]

hahahaha thanks.. i JUST made it... thats why im lookin for a royjones commentating pic i cant find one ANYWHERE

That really is a terrific sig pic! I'll keep an eye out for a RJ on HBO pic.

thats cus his shoulders are wide, but his arms are short........it helps him more to be tall...

Wlads shoulders are twice as wide as Williams, so i dont think it is the shoulders that give this skinny mother****er such an reach!! I seriously doubt that Williams really has more reach than Wlad!

[Tobi.G]

Same with Paul Williams being 6'1", he's closer to 6'3"

Are you kidding? this guy is an WELTERWEIGHT!!

[Solntse]

How much does he weight between fights?

[boxingknight]

If Paul Williams fought in another weight class he'd probably get his ass ko'd. Believe it or not he is a natural welterweight, he is just an extremly thin guy. I could image his dad being a thin guy as well or his mom. Probably genetics in some ways.

Something that seems unusual to me, is the proportions of Paul Williams, welterweight. His reach is 82".

Normally welterweight are not especially big men. But Williams has an arm lenght even greater than Wladimir Klitschko, who has a reach of 81". David Tua has a reach of 71" - about a foot less than Williams!

Shouldn't Williams gain a few pounds and fight in a bigger weight division?

I think we will someday see Williams as high as SMW or LHW.....I mean it should add power to him. I think he could be a big,strong and still very fast MW someday.

Williams reach definitely gives him an advantage at WW, but to say he doesn't belong in that weight division is ridiculous. If he can make the weight than why not. It's not like he doesn't have athletic ability and good boxing skills. I know from now on when ever he beats somebody the excuse will be he's to tall and doesn't belong in the division. The thing is though it's sports and not everybody is on the same level when it comes to size and ability. So if Williams can make the weight than he's fighting in the WW division. It's not like Boxing is gonna step in and say Oh your to tall and have too long of a reach so you can't fight at WW.

Williams' 82 inches is longer than any of the four current reigning heavyweight champions, including 6'-6 1/2 " Wladimir Klitschko, who stretches an inch less. This is just my 2 cents. I know boxing.

That's correct, and those stats are on boxrec.com, for anyone who doesn't believe you.

Williams is a welterweight freak like Tommy Hearns but nothing compares to Liston's 84 inch reach.

The quality is bad but you can see what I mean.

He also threw that jab with power, PROBLEM.
