    Who has more potential, Paul Williams or Chad Dawson?

    I think both are young beasts...Dawson could run 175 I don't see anyone(unless B-Hop fights him) stopping him from doing that. I think he'll beat Johnson in the rematch as well.

    Paul Williams is my choice. Can compete(at least) from 154-160. Idk about 147. 154 I think he can handily beat Martinez and any other contenders. He has a few potential opponents. At 160 there's Pavlik, Abraham, Sturm. Danny Jacobs is a good prospect.

    I think Chad could easily run 175. Competition looks thin there. Paul could run 154, at 160 he may have some problems...

    Pwill. If he settles into his proper division (154 imo), nobody's beatin him. I think Dawson can beat Glen in the rematch at this point. But past that, he's got no options at 175. Plenty of fights at 168, but some of those guys can beat him. And his style ain't as excitin as Pwill, so cats won't take to him as much.

      i would go with paul simply because he could have good fights in three weight divisions. i dont think he could have many, but i think he could make 147 at least once or twice more. i would agree that paul might have some problems at 160 but i think his punch out put would give him a better than average chance...even against pavlik and abraham

      I see chad as solid at 175 but thats about it...except maybe cruiser, where i think his athleticism could take him places. i mean, hell, adamek is running the cruisers, and chad already beat him.

        Well Dawson says he could still make 168, maybe tear up there, come back and dominate 175, maybe move up to CW in about 4 or 5 years. PWILL has a chance to win a title at 160, most likely from Sturm, but maybe Pavlik as well. I don't think he can beat Dawson at 168, but maybe if Dawson's not there. Pretty close, slight edge to Williams.

          I like both guys, but imo, Chad has more all around talent and skill.

                I think Dawson has better skills and better gifts, Williams is a freak of nature though but I have a feeling that's he's a flash in the pan type of guy, he takes shots, he throws a lot of shots, that kind of style wears a person out faster than a guy with Dawson's style but while Williams is at his best, he can do a lot of damage, I just don't think his best will be that long.

                    Dawson. P-Will may be the truth but, to quote Max Schmeling, "I see something."
