Is paul williams already starting to get past his prime???

[FLY TY]

i dont think paul can fight effectively like that he needs to pressure and use his workrate like he did against margarito and winky even in those wins he took alot of shots i really hope peterson is working on tightning up his defense a lil..

i don't think there's anything that can be done, by perterson at least.


it's been painfully apparent, for a while now, that williams takes a lot of shots.

ha has a short shelf life..........he takes puishment, but never quits and pushes to the limit in fights......that = a short shelf life

yeah he is a true warrior and has taken many shots against very good fighters margarito,quintana,wright,and martinez!!!

No way, he has always taken a lot of punches

that's the point. guys like that don't usually hang around forever. i don't think he's past it. yet. i don't plan on missing any of his fights though. you never know when a fighter like that will age overnight.

Yeah, I think Williams has two or three years left at least.

Crazy when you think about guys like Pacquiao who have always taken a lot of punishment, yet he physically and mentally improved as a fighter.

I don't think there is anything wrong with him, he just had a few slow rounds.

And the way Cintron was fighting I can't blame him, all the frog did was sit on his right hand and wait. As soon as Paul wanted to bring the fight to a different level he did.

Paul comes in and tries to give the fans a good fight and because he didnt fight a perfect fight people bad mouth him. Boxing fans need to stop this bull****.

nobody is bad mouthing paul i like paul and his warrior attitude but sooner or later all the shots you take to the head can slow you down as a fighter thats all im saying

yea. at this point, i think that's what he is....he's a volume puncher, that leaves himself open after he throws, but he's willing to take a big shot, to land 3 or 4 smaller ones.

aside from his lack of defense and head-movement, i think his biggest problem is his lack of "power."

it's ok to take punches to land punches, if yours are harder....but the way williams gets off, he almost relies on his opponents to "crumble" under his pressure....

that's cool, but if he fights anybody with any type of movement, timing, stamina, then he'll be up against it.....and if he fights anybody who packs a mean punch, it'll be a crap shoot.

that's why its fine for ppl to assert that cintron would've eventually "crumbled" from PW's pressure, but you can't leave out the possibility of cintron landing something flush, and putting williams away, before he crumbled.

williams is good, and his freakish physical attributes make him a "spectacle." he's non-stop action, so he's fun to watch. but i don't consider him an "elite" fighter, at all.

it's not badmouthing. not from me at least. i've been a fan of pwill for a few years, but even his fans admit he gets hit a lot. barrera and morales were past it before 30 too.

like i said, i think he's still prime, but it won't be too much longer before the wear and tear shows up imo
