    Do the majority of Paul Williams wins come from his matchup advantage?

    I really don't think he is that special. The guy is a tall 6'1'', has an 82 inch reach, is a southpaw, and fights guys who are generally 5'7''-5'10''.

    A lot of times he doesn't use his reach and size to his advantage. I think he has kind of a ****ty jab to be honest. I think he wins mainly because of his phenomenal work rate and constant pressure.

      IMO, the majority of his wins comes from constant workrate...He doesnt fight tall at all. He relies on his high volume of punches....When have you ever seen Williams fight tall?

        He isn't.. he wouldn't be able to compete in the division he belongs in but since somehow he can get down to 147 he has all the advantages.
        Kelly Pavlik kills this dude if he where to every fight in the division he first started out in.

          i do think he has a huge advantage with his height and reach. look how he looked against marg, he looked tall as ****. if he were to fite cotto or berto , i cant even imagine how that **** would look. regardless, it doesnt matter. if he makes weight its all good. this coming from a PW hater.

            Yes. As we all know, Paul Williams is a WW southpaw version of Wlad Klitschko. Right jab, right jab, right jab, straight left all day. J/K
