If Paul Williams beats Wright I believe he will stay at middle weight and try to win a belt there considering the lack of talent at junior middleweight, and honsestly nobody at welterweight wants to fight him. Do you guys think he really has a chance against the likes of Kelly Pavlik, Aurthor Abraham, and Felix Sturn?
This is my view on the situation:
1) Williams vs Pavlik- Honestly i do not see Williams winning this fight. Pavlik is to big and strong for Williams, and Williams is not a bernard hopkins. I see Pavlik winning by KO.

2) Williams vs Abraham- Again i do not see Williams winning this fight. I think Abraham is too good and to big for Williams, and he has not fought anybody close to Abrahms calaber at this weight. I got Abraham by UD or mabey a late round KO.

3) Williams vs Sturm- IMO this is by far williams best chance to win a middlewight belt. I do not see a knock out in this fight. Decision could go to either guy in this one. I might favor Williams by a hair, but really too close to call with any certanty.

What do you guys think???

Williams over Pavlik---------Abraham over Williams----------Williams over Sturm

Williams can also fight at 154, so what about a fight with Angulo? Vernon Forrest? Sergio Martinez?

At Middleweight, I wouldn't mind seeing him vs Pavlik or Abraham, but he's probably better off doing his thing first at 154, then move to 160.

I already consider Williams the best at 160. Definitely he is the best at 154, if he wants to cut the weight and deal those mortals there.

i'd like to see williams take on vernon forrest at 154 and eventually fight shane mosley or miguel cotto or margarito rematch down the line

If he beats Wright convincingly then he would have a good chance against those other guys.

Wright is a strong middleweight and very difficult style. With the fight being at 160 it would force him to come in good shape and not soft like we last seen him at 170.

Yup. Williams has a good chin so I don't doubt he can take Pavlik's shots. I think he would outwork Pavlik too.

People forget Williams outworked Margarito - took all his best shots and went to war with him and his loaded gloves. I know Pavlik is a different beast to Margarito but Williams I am pretty sure would beat him by UD.

He has 1 round of experience at 160 and you already think he is the best?
