I don't post here much if at all, but Ive been thinking about this match up for a while now and wondering how this fight would play out. Its a shame Paul Williams wont fight ever again because he was good for boxing and very entertaining. So how would this fight go? Im thinking Pauls size and workrate would be the deciding factor.
Austin Trout vs Paul Williams

Williams would have problems, as he always did with good southpaw boxers, but Trout wouldn't be able to stop the workrate. Punisher by decision.Comment

PWill all day. Trout is a counterpuncher but he is too conservative, he doesnt like to punch if something is coming back at him at the same time. Williams doesnt stop throwing so that perfect opening wont come, you have to punch with him which trout would be hesitant to do.
What trout has going for himself is that hes a lefty which we all know paul struggles with. But it wont make much difference if he cant pull the trigger on that left hand. I also think the reach would give him all sorts of trouble, trouts key punch is the jab, but with the lenght of Williams and the way he throws multiple jabs at a time that would neutralize trouts stick.
Last but not least trout doesnt have the power to keep Williams honest. I think Williams beats him clearly on points or possibly a late tko if trout is being too dominated and overwhelmed and the corner steps in.Comment

If you are talking about a prime Williams I think he would win a close ud. over Trout. If you are talking about Williams just before his was in the crash I think Trout wins a clear ud. over him. I'll vote for Williams assuming you meant a prime Williams.Comment

Williams would lose to Trout in a 8-4 rounds type fight. Williams in all honesty was only a decent fighter, a decent fighter ho was shout out by the much smaller Carlos Quitana. Trout wouldn't have much difficulty beating Williams.
I liked Williams but the guy just wasn't very good. His size compensated for his lack of skill, but against Trout who is a big Jr. Middleweight he would be outclassed.Comment
