    I think Paul would bust Abraham up. Abraham likes to sleep too much and paul would go to town on him.

    Pavlik is a different dynamic. Paul could beat him if he concentrated on his speed and angles and avoided warring it up, but he loves to lean in and fight, which could land him in a lot of trouble against pavlik. If Paul fought smart, he could make pavlik look painfully slow, but he loves to rumble and Pavlik can be a dangerous mofo.

    Right now, Williams would eat Abraham alive. Pavlik he can beat also, but he has to keep Pavlik from getting into the fight like Hopkins did. I don't know if he can do that as he loves to mix it up.
    I feel the exact opposite. I think Pwill would go to town on Pavlik. He doesn't have the footwork to avoid the punches and cannot counterpunch. But Abraham would KO him. Abraham is a more refined boxer, is physically bigger and stronger and hits HARD. The Abraham fight would come down to the reach and how much of a chin he has. Pwill threw some wicked combos on Winky. He would have landed a higher percentage on any other fighter.

      Williams is on fire right now. Pavlik? That's be a tough one. I think the Ghost has more punching power than PW. But PW can box fer sho. AA? I don't know much about him.

        Who can beat Williams? Carlos Quintana, that's who. CQ took him to school for 12 rounds, earning the UD - a far cry from the one-punch one-round fluke in the rematch (not that Paul didn't deserve it). If you want to see how to handle Williams, look at the first Quintana fight: the smaller man knew enought to get inside and not spend too long at the end of PW's punching range, and he did his business and slipped away. That's boxing. I like Williams - he seems like a decent guy and he's in phenomenal shape - but he's hardly unbeatable.

          Williams Can Beat Pavlik, Abraham, Sturm

          I think he is very competitive with each of them and has the chance to beat all of them, although i think AA would be his hardest match

            You got it backwards. PWill was totally out of it the first fight. Look at every fight of his, he had no legs or head movement. Has wasn't throwing punches. He obviously overlooked Quintana then blasted him the f out the second fight. That was definitely not a fluke. Your post was a fluke.

              Paul can fight both these guys and win. Its not how well they fight, its how well they match up against Paul. He has the style to defeat them both. His punch rate just doesen't make sense!

              If he can keep that up he can end up being a great!
