2005 Winky Wright vs 2010 Paul Williams

[Southpaw Great]

At 160lb. Does Williams still have the style to beat a peak Wright?

Williams close decision.

Williams would beat any version of Wright. The key to beating Wright was always to keep throwing punches and giving him different angles. Winky like Clottey doesn't trade and waits for his opponents to stop punching. Heck Mosley even almost got the decision the 2nd time around when he just threw punches even if they were being blocked

Same result. Paul Williams is Winky's kryptonite.

Tend to agree here. Wright even said on in this corner he waits for guys to stop punching then counterattacks. I like Wright but i just can't see him winning this one at any time. The punisher is all wrong for Winky, he doesn't stop throwing punches. And its not like P.Will has a bad chin or W.W posesses 1 punch K.O power.

It's a bad style matchup for winky, I think it's more or less the same result.

If winky cant truly hurt williams, he has no way to stop williams from throwing upwards of 100 punches per round, thus williams wins a UD.

Williams by UD, only a fresher Wright would make it more competitive.
