Paul Williams

This has made my day. Dude will always be a champ, didnt duck anyone

[bojangles1987]

He was pretty good. Would have liked to see a third Martinez bout

I'm resisting so bad. Oh my glob it's so easy and I can't do it.

I've always admired Paul Williams as a person. He's always struck me as well spoken, humble and incredibly positive and upbeat, and especially so, in light of his tragic life changing events. I've also read that he invested his boxing winnings wisely and is very financially secure - good for him

One of my favourite boxers of all time, he and Floyd got me in to following this sport like a diehard. Wish him the best, he would fight anyone, anywhere, throw 100's of punches and overwhelm his opponent. Imagine how many great fights could be made with a prime P.Williams at 147-154 and hell even 160.

What a warrior. All the best champ!

What I love about this is his positive attitude. It's not beyond any human being to have those moments where they are feeling down. Especially in the privacy of their own home. However when he's out, he's staying positive and using that positive energy to inspire others, especially youth.

I bet that is what keeps him going along with his faith. It's not beyond him to talk again, but it sounds like he's doing more good two paralyzed legs than many do with a full, working body.

Happy because he looks so happy hitting it
Sad because he's in a wheelchair



That smile though

It is bittersweet, but he seems happy and he's a survivor. He has most definitely been missed.
