Paul Williams: The Most Avoided Fighter in the Welterweight Divison

[**********]

Allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is Paul—Paul Williams to be exact.

My nickname is "The Punisher."

I have been solid from 147 pounds to 160 pounds.

No one wants to fight me though. Can you help me please?

Aiken, South Carolina native Williams has been on the boxing scene since he beat Antonio Margarito for the WBO welterweight title.

Williams stands 6'2" and has the wingspan of a heavyweight. He served notice to everyone in the lower weight classes when he beat Margarito. Beating him at his own game with his punch output and power. This is also the same thing that scares people off about him.

In the sport of boxing, style points go along way. Williams hasn't done that as efficiently as he should and thus has has fallen under the radar.

He just can't get a big named fighter to fight him at boxing's most prized weight class at the present time.

To say it better, he's a modern day Tommy Hearns.

Hearns had his share of fights at 147 including a thriller with Sugar Ray Leonard. People were in awe of his physical attributes, yet fought him anyway. Hearns was a more punishing and complete fighter then Williams yet no one wants to fight him.

Miguel Cotto and Floyd Mayweather both avoid him.

I guess they have at least one thing in common. Mayweather says he isn't a big name fighter so he won't fight him yet.

Cotto is just ducking him.

Margarito turned him down for a second fight.

Where's the heart at in the welterweight division?

Williams ventures at weights that are just as comfortable to get action which is sad and it also sets him back.

He is the cream of the crop if he fights at 147.

He's the top 154 pounder in the world.

Williams also holds his own at 160 as well, but he isnt as dominate.

Will the real welterweights please stand up and give this fighter a chance.

I'm pretty sure he's done at welterweight. He should focus on super welter and middleweight now.

[FistoftheDallasStar]

He's a Middleweight now.

[warp1432]

He hasn't fought at Welterweight in almost a year. He is not a welter.

Paul Williams is not going to compete at Welterweight anymore. He's got a tough time packing crowds with Winky Wright as his opponent. He's avoided because he brings nothing to the table, don't mistaken that with being literally "feared".

relax guys. i didn't write it. lol. i'm just sharing it because i thought it was good.

[portuge puncher]

yea, the guy is done at welter-wieght. he should focus on getting a fight with pavlik.

[Pullcounter]

pwill's only hope at 147 is if clottey beats cotto, cause clottey is the only guys willing to fight pwill.

[MANGLER]

Pwill ain't in the WW division no more, and I don't think he will be. Dude needs to take over at 154.

I love how the report doesn't mention that a C grade fighter DID fight him and beat him...beat him REAL good for 12 solid rounds. He can no longer pull that most avoided crap. He just doesn't fill the seats. Didnt u see that last winky right that was half empty? How can he expect to compete with A level prizefighters if he has NO leverage to bring to the table? IM not a hater, PWILL is VERY VERY GOOD. but he's been beaten before, and fact is he still needs more victories to get to the level ppl want him to compete.
