Comments Thread For: Paul Williams Ponders Legacy and Eyes Retirement

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

A rangy southpaw who stands at nearly 6-foot-3, Paul Williams has fought at welterweight, junior middleweight and middleweight, earning the nickname "The Punisher" for his reputation as a hard-slugging, high-volume puncher with a seemingly endless energy reserve who is willing to take on all comers.

I heard Williams turned down every boxer who stood a remote chance against him before they decided on Lara.

Damz Paul already eyeing retirement? He will be remembered as the fighter May ducked not from Top Rank. How I wished he was with Golden Boy. WAR THE PUNISHER!!!

2 more years?

I'll just write pw off then. Failed to live up to the hopes we had for him, and now his heart is not there anymore.

He wanted Ishida, the guy who knocked out Kirkland, but HBO turned him down.

Personally, I'd say Williams deserves an easier tuneup after that KO, but Williams wanted to be on HBO so Lara is what he was offered.

Williams is a FRAUD!!

Good riddance! He ducked Martinez for the rematch and was carried kicking a sreaming to the rematch! He only fought smaller guys and beat a white dude (a BUM!) at 160 for his first win at that classs! He defines OVERRATED!! 6'3 BUM!
