Williams is overrated, he got exposed badly by Quintana....Quintana showed the blueprint on how to beat him, Williams can't handle slick guys and counterpunchers.

Some fighters benefit from moving up in weight and some some don't.
Paul Wiliams is not a natural power puncher. Most of the time he punches with a open fist. He wasn't getting tired at 147, his conditioning seemed fine.
I see P.Williams the same way I see Corrales, the more they move up in weight then more problems they will have. Corrales was a beast at 130/135 but once he got to 147 he looked weak. Skills just weren't there. His best asset is his height advantage. Same goes for williams.

However he might do well at 154.
Power punching isnt Williams forte..Hes a volume puncher.

Corralles moved up to far.
Exactly why it's a disadvantage. If a guy gets inside, Williams is too big to let his hands go. Generally for a real big guy, it is better to have a great jab and keep his distance hitting his opponents from a wide range.
Then more he moves up then less his **** works. Quintana beating him had nothing to do with Weight, just a good boxer landing the more eye catching punches cruising to a UD.
I was a P. Williams fan and still am pulling for him to win the rematch. I'd like to think that he underestimated Quintana but we shall see.
