Paul Williams in Today's 147 and 154 Division.

Crawford would have either outboxed Williams 12-0 or knocked him out. A fight with Spence would have been more competitive but I think Spence edges him. Williams had a terrible track record with Southpaws. Lubin also being a Southpaw would likely outbox Williams, just depends on if he got clipped like Quintana in the 2nd fight or pitched a perfect shutout like Quintana in the 1st fight.

The other fights are 50/50 in my opinion except for Thurman and Munguia.

But how would he go against the best at 147?

Outwork them and use his size. Nobody wanted that smoke at WW back in the day.

Crawford defeat similar fighters in Indongo and BenavideZ

Outside of Hearns, I think Paul Williams was the biggest freak of nature in Welterweight History. Great Jab, Fast hands, great inside fighter to be so tall, top 5 volume puncher, and a very underrated boxing IQ. The only knock against him is that he never used his length quite well. He could've been Thomas Hears 2.0 IMO. I personally think he loses to Spence, Ennis, Crawford, and Thurman. But I think he stops Lubin, Jermelle, Ortiz Jr, Castono, and Mungia. Thoughts?

I think loses to Crawford, Spence, Ennis, Ortiz Jr. Custano. Maybe even Ugas??? 50/50 Charlo

Beats Thurman, Lubin, Mungia (Barn burner classic), Custano.

I dont get where your saying he beats Catano??? Dude was ROBBED against Lara and Charlo.

Lara was ROBBED against PW.

Also him and Canelo were signed to fight before he crashed his bike.

I might be a little bit but Paul wasn't extremely effective at 154lbs and I think Castano and Jermell have enough size and talent to fight on even terms with him.

I think Williams beats both Thurman and Munguia 8-4/9-3. I also think he beat Ugas who I didn't really consider until now. I think Ortiz Jr and Ennis would be 50/50.

I might have exaggerated Crawford dominance over him but I wouldn't have any confidence in Williams winning that fight at all.
