Should Williams just move on and go to 154?

    He wouldn't be coming into the ring at 164 if weight wasn't a problem.

      I voted that he should move up, only because the weight class is more dense at WW than Jr. MW. It would be easier for him to fight for a title, other than a Quintana rematch, at 154.

      That being said, I don't think he struggled to make weight. A fighter who drains himself doesn't have the energy and stamina that Paul has for 12 rounds. Quintana just fought the type of fight you need to fight against Williams: do not stand still. He basically used the blueprint on how to beat a lanky fighter that SRL used against Tommy Hearns.

        Wiliams is a one win fly, we knew he would get exposed, now that the blueprint is out. He should retire, along with fatton.

          Not only that, but against Pakau (right before Margarito) he was 160, against Margarito he was 162, now 164, clearly there's a pattern there.

            I think he will be ko'd if he moves up, but thats just my opinion. I don't think he can take a punch in the higher weight classes like Max Kellerman swets Williams for his chin.
