    Depends....if he gets the chance to fight other greats.....but at the rate he's going...he's probably the most feared along with Glen Johnson....

      The thing with paul williams i think is alot of fighters are scared of him, the man is a machine. He reminds me of Ali when he jumps and dances around the ring...just a skinnier version

        i dont know about Ali...he was truly one of a kind

        but williams poses the type of length and workrate that would make ANY possible opponent think twice...he seems to have a solid beard and he doesnt stop...

            Probably not. He has potential though. I think he's a bit one dimensional though right now.

              if he gets the names he wants and beats them then he's a runner-up for p4p #1 in a few years

                  I don't think he reminds me of Ali at all. He's more Calzaghe then Ali. Ali wasn't about workrate. He was about speed and timing.

                    still not sure about that one...Williams, although a smaller fighter, didnt have the fluid footwork of Ali...and i dont think Ali had that type of workrate...Williams is more of a machine than anything...he's more Wayne 'Pocket Rocket' Mccullough than Ali IMO...but he is indeed entertaining

                      He has to get the best out there to fight him first. Which doesnt seem like it will happen. I think he will go down as what could have been a ATG but never got his big chance.
