Why do people think Paul Williams will beat Winky Wright?

[SkillspayBills]

This fight has a lot of "if's" involved. All I know is P-dub is in a lose lose situation either way.

styles make fights. volume punching keeps winky in a defensive shell. pwill wins by out working winky

Who is the last person to beat Winky from volume?

The Taylor fight was extremely close and Taylor is larger and faster than Williams. The Vargas fight close. Winky won a clear decision over Soliman who threw literally over 1000 punches that night but couldnt "outwork" Winky. Hops is the only guy to clearly beat Winky in over 10 years without any controversy and Williams is no Hopkins.

Cuz Winky's older and comin off a layoff. If it was 05-06, nobody would be pickin Pwill.

I love the fact that people still don't understand anything about Williams (perhaps no one is even watching the actual fights). They speak about his reach as if this is the root of his style which will make or break him, when he's an infighter by trade who willing sacrifices that reach most of the time.

It seems it needs mentioning again, so once again I'll state:

Stylistically, Williams = Bowe

Williams will outwork Wright regardless if the Tito/Taylor Winky shows up..styles make fights and Williams style is all wrong for Winky..name a fighter that Winky fought(prime Winky or not) that threw 90, 100, 125 punches per round? and not to mention 60, 70 per round is Paul just to get warmed up..in your right minds, please, Winky Wright does not stand a chance with his all-defense/jabbing style against a damn punching machine especially at this age and woth his rustyness

They must not know about stinky winkys super skill-the peek-a-boo.

Williams is a lot more active than Winky. Winky will be on the defensive all night. Williams is going to take this by UD. Believe that!

bet 10k? i got wright over williams

I hear what you guys are saying....Winky is old and rusty........BUT
Is that it?
So you saying because Paul Williams throw a lot of punches ala Plasterito he wins?
Thats not exactly a ringing endorsement for the "Most avoided fighter".
Paul Williams does NOTHING well ....he is one dimensional and gets hit a lot.
Winky Wright is a defensive genius and has a great jab and doesnt get hit a lot.
What am I missing here?
Im a tall guy too 6'3....I use to think Paul Williams was someone I could emulate but his style is .......I dont know the word for it.........
He doesnt have the best jab in the world......great footwork?
No.
There is no there there with Paul Williams and I am not hating on the guy I just dont see anything great about him and I am pulling for Winky in this fight.
