It's been four months since Sergio Martinez rocked the world of Paul Williams with a left cross that put Williams face-down on the canvas in the second round of their middleweight championship fight at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.

Damn. Williams is having nightmares about that KO loss.

Trilogy omg Martinez will ko him again and will shut the mouth of BHop boasting about sleek afro american fighters.

Why not have the triology? It's like Tarver-Roy Jones, they just got to have one! The 1st fight was spectacular and the 2nd fight was too short with the perfect shot like he said. He got caught but since they split a win a piece they should be able to fight a 3rd time and give us another memorable moment even if Sergio wins by KO again, Williams kind of help put him on the map with that war, that started the Sexy Serg bandwagon extremists, and the KO made him a P4P elite.

Good for Williams taking some time to get his thoughts together. I say take it easy for the first fight, take on a journeyman, take him out of there to build some confidence, then worry about taking on a C+-B level fight before he takes on the cream of the crop again.

He'll be back, don't worry. He just needs to touch up the whole in his game and this is the best time to do it. He'll be back better then ever. He's too damn tall, exciting, and good to not be back in the mix within 2 fights. Just needs to get his confidence back. Hopefully rematch Cintron and put that coward out with a beatdown.

Trilogy should happen, but it's all depending on Paul Williams's mental state after such a devastating loss

IMO, Paul needs to take on a tough challenge and not take any steps backwards. So what you got knocked out, shyt happens in boxing, you gotta be mentally strong and overcome.

Obviously a knockout like that would bother you, but I don't think it will show when Paul steps back in the ring. He'll be as reckless and dangerous as ever.

1) as said previously, he needs a new trainer. to have a plan of 'we'll attack him, he'll crumble' and then say 'naw, it was a lucky shot' when he hit the fighter that you trained 6 times at least with the same shot is just malpractise at its finest. If you cared about the fighter you would be honest with yourself, and let him go to a better trainer. Manny Steward would be perfect for Paul, he would utilise his height for one, which Paul never does, and correct his balance. You can tell Manny wants the job every time he commentate a Paul Williams fight

2) Pick a weight, stick to hit, all that weight loss/gain is going to **** up your punch resistance

3) Stay the hell away from Sergio until you get a new trainer and have a couple fights under your belt

4) For Gods sake Paul Williams learn how to jab instead of fighting like Ricky hatton

Good to see them taking their time on the return.I wonder who they'll choose,I hope it's someone with decent power,that'll be a good confidence booster.

It's good to see Paul Williams come back. Just take your time and stick to JMW for a while pick up some victories. He needs a new trainer that can teach him not to lean down so much when he punches. He gets tagged because he doesn't use his height and reach well. IMO Emmanuel Stewart can take him back to basics like he did for Cotto. Then we might see a better Paul Williams because right now he fights like a taller black Margaritto.
