Who has more potential, Paul Williams or Chad Dawson?

[NakiFan]

I have to say Williams, Dawson is a very, very good fighter, he doesn't have the style to set the world on fire but he will have a solid career. Williams though is just so damned awkward to handle, I think he will have a great career, I wonder what weight he will end up at.

They are about even in my opinion. Their styles are different so its hard to compare that.If forced to, I would have to give the edge to Williams.He's like the energizer bunny, he keeps going and going.His style makes for an all action fight.But he gets hit too much for my liking.I also think he can be out boxed by someone with a lot of experience and who knows how to set traps in the ring.Dawson is more fundamental and will probably have the longer career.I also think that he has the better corner, which means alot to a fighters long term success.I visualize these two getting it on one day.It will be a heck of a fight.

paul has more potential than dawson.

dawson's stamina issues limit his potential.

[RisAri0]

Dawson has potential to rule a division... PWill has potential to be a 3 division titlist..

Dawson can improve his stamina. His stamina was fine against Harding, Tarver I, and Adamek. Dawson will be in fights where he doesn't show any stamina issue, than there is fights that he does. Yeah it's something he needs to correct.

yep, if dawson could pour it on late he could take alot of fighters to the deep side of the pool and drown them. too bad he doesn't have enough stamina to do that.

how do you judge something like this?

[DonTaseMeBrah]

i think think the boxers with most potential to be special are victor ortiz, edwin valero, james kirkland, jorge linares, juan ma, urbano antillon, & vanes martirosyan.

[Pugilistic™]

Dawson is overall more talented and skilled and can rule 175.

Williams is a beast though and would do major damage at 154 and possibly 160, even at 147 he can do damage if he can still make it.

This is almost too close to call right now. Paul Williams is very good and rare talent, but I see Dawson beating Johnson now, moving down and winning a couple big fights (Williams if they ever fight), and moving up to have a great fight against Cloud.

Pavlik and Abraham are moving up so 160 will be PW's, but he will lose chasing after big fights at 168, even though he will be successful against the right fighters.
