williams looks taller then tommy hearns..plus when hearns fought @ 147 he was younger then williams...williams looks like a middleweight..he dosent look any smaller then kelly pavlik i think thats his name

the term "big" is a general term. williams is tall for a welterweight, he's just a thin guy without much musclemass or fat, and probably workout hard and eats very little to cut the weight. he probably hydrated back up to around 160 on fight night.

my question is why was a guy who obviously drains down to make 147 fighten a guy whos best day were at 140??

but pauls def entertaining to watch

he makes it as that is his survival!......

any other opportunity at a higher weight will make his opponents be in more of a fair fight!!....therefore, he knows that this is his only chance.......to have such and advantage over the others!!.....i'm pretty much against it where a fighter has such an advantage over the others!

hes thin as hell what do you mean how.. his legs are like rails and if he was struggling to make weight it wouldnt help him it would actually hurt his performance.. tommy heanrs was bigger musclewise especially his lats

The guy is a stick. Thin arms, thin legs. Hes just built differently.

I really don't understand how Paul Williams is making weight at 147, can someone explain how someone that big is making that weight?

** You ain't watched enough boxing. They got 6' Mexican featherweights now.

Williams makes weight much easier than Hearns who made the welt limit back on same day weighins. Williams has 36 hrs to recharge and rehydrate after weighin.

Yeah on fight night he weighed(according to HBO) like 158.

He's a tall welterweight.
