Boxing News interview with Paul Williams

This part choked me up bad and got my eyes watery. Man I miss P will, a true warrior for real.
Fighting talk, however, is rendered insignificant as Williams looks closer to home. Yes, his children – a boy, a girl and an adopted son – and he have adapted to the wheelchair and its place in their lives but he is sorry for his fiancee of six years.
“I kind of feel bad,” he says, emotion bringing water to his eyes and a tremor to his voice. “I proposed to her and gave her a ring and then I got hurt so I feel I’ll be cheating her to give her a ring and say we’re getting married now I’m sitting down. She says ‘Don’t worry about it’ but I’m like… ‘I want to walk down the aisle with you, I don’t want to be sitting down.’
“Man. I feel like I’m cheating her. Of course, if it doesn’t happen I’m going to step up to the plate and roll down the aisle but I want to walk. “I’m praying that I can stand up.”
He looks at me and says again, “Nothing lasts forever.”Comment

Thanks for the great post this is one of the most worthy threads I've ever seen here. I wish Paul Williams all the best and wish that he will one day soon be able to walk again.http://www.boxingnewsonline.net/paul...l-fight-again/
They've gone with the big headline but actually he comes across as being more realistic now. A quite in-depth and very interesting article about his career, his accident and how he now makes a living.Comment

I'm just glad to see he was smart with his money. Maybe one day he'll be able to manage fighters too and make sure they think about a rainy day.Comment

Great interview and good to see he is in good spirits..but sad that no one is entering this thread which shows me no 1 gives a damn about these fighters and they are 100 percent right to care about health and money 1stComment

just hope he can walk again and has enough money to help his family.
One of the best fighters I saw over the last decade or so, he really should have got a big Mosley/May fight at 147 but hey, he earned his stripes and the fans respect him.Comment
