    Paul Williams Brushed Under the Rug

    How did everyone not get **** for skipping out on Tall Paul

    These 4 all have good resumes but not a single one faced Paul:

    Floyd

    Mosley

    Cotto

    manny

    Definitely one the most avoided opponents in modern times

    Williams was dangerous and likely avoided because of his height, skill and the fact that he's a southpaw. So sad that he got crippled.

      A young bull named Saul Canelo Alvarez is way braver

        I wouldn't put it past Saul to call out Paul Williams today.

              How much do you think Paul's chair weighs? They could do it at 160

                  paul was a talent and fun to watch

                  hed have been a tough out for anyone.....but i think floyd would have solved him...paul trained for stamina and to throw punches in volume....he didnt have much else going for him....he even gave away his reach and height alot with his style....someone as good as floyd would have figured him out even at the disadvantage....

                  fortunately for floyd, pac, cotto etc there were too many other guys around for them to fight and they never really had to consider it...plus by the end of 2008 he was fighting at 154 pretty much wasnt he?
