    Paul would get smoked at SMW and he knows it.

      Ummmmm hes not a 168 Pounder. He just weighed 157 for a 160 Pound fight. He hasnt outgrown 154 yet.

      Pac would get smoked at 160 Pounds and hes knows it. See how dumb that sounds.

        So would Andre Ward and Chad Dawson (6'2 and 6'3). I only worry about a fighter's weight, height doesn't mean much. Williams has the frame of a junior middleweight.

Guys like Hagler, Dempsey, Marciano, Tyson and many others beat much taller fighters with greater reach.
          height is an advantage if you know how to use it. and people you named are freaks of nature, they had amazing talent for boxing so in that case height was no big disadvantage for them

            Exactly. Hes skin and bones. He wont be at 168 until hes in his late thirties.

              Psh, Williams weighed 165 lbs in the ring against Quintana.

              Don't believe the hype.

              You're the one bragging about Williams calling out Hopkins.

                Ali Funeka should be a 168 Pounder.

                    Williams is a comforard bum, who cant draw flies to ****!!

                    He is a dumbass if he thinks he will get Floyd or Pac.

                    he should had stayed at 154!

                      Agreed. But some bring up height when its not an issue. For example, people talk about the slight height advantage that Benitez had over Duran as an issue. Yet Benitez stayed in the ropes staionary willing to allow Duran to fight him in the inside. But they dont bring the height issue or reach issue when Duran beat taller guys like Buchanan and Barkley.
