The funny thing about the Williams-Quintana rematch is that everyone says that it proves the 1st fight was a fluke. How? If anything the 1st fight is way more legit than the 2nd. He beat Williams clearly over 12 rounds and it couldnt be disputed. Williams just caught him with one punch that could happened to anyone. Even in that 1st round I again felt that Quintana was connecting on him easily until that blow.
Back then Cotto & Margarito were beast and I remember saying that even though Cotto & Margarito are way better than Quintana, I actually think that if Williams fights all 3 of them 100 times, that he would lose to Quintana more than the other 2 because that Southpaw style gives him hell. Thats why I actually think Pac could give him some problems. Im not nearly as high on Martinez as others on here are but I could see him doing some of the same things to him that Quintana did

Williams could lose...he has some holes in his defense...which should be corrected with another trainer. Even his punching can be helped.

Not looking past his next opponent because he has a tough test on his hands and anything can happen, but I think Paul has the chance to hold the WW/SMW/MW title all at once if he could get a chance to do so. That would be something to put down in history because I think Armstrong was the only other one to do it...right, wrong?
It could also help boxing by marketing such a Champion. But even in today's era of more belts; fighters are also more inactive and still avoid challenges.
WW: Williams could take on Pac for WBO belt or Mosley for the lineal title for a big boost in popularity...but will they fight him at 147?
MW: Pavlik...well, that fight fell through. Maybe he can get a shot at Sturm or whoever else holds a title there.
I'm not even sure who has all the belts in each of those divisions anymore but with all those belts, surely something can be set up to see if he can do it. No guarantee he can but it would be interesting if he could and a good way to promote him for boxing: 3 fights, 3 titles in different weight-classes.
