Why do people think Paul Williams is too big for welterweight when....

[The Gambler1981]

If he can make 147 it is fair game. Although I can understand the apprehension in facing him (especially at 147), I think against the best of the best technical boxer Williams will always have a rough time with (I know he beat Winky, but Winky's style is different from the type of fighters that I feel would give Williams trouble) even at 147. Not saying that Williams would for sure lose to top flight technical boxers but to me that is the type of fight that will give him troubles.

Williams is a tremendous specimine and has several other positive attribute working for him, I just think he is piss poor technically and often gives up his size (although for being so long he fight very well on the inside, I honestly has no clue how he shortens up his punches with those long arms).

If Pwill can still make 147 comfortably, gr8. I think he beats everybody there. But at this point I doubt he could do 147 and be strong. Dude needs to take over at 154 imo.

Yeah He can still make 147 because like his trainer George Peterson said after the winky fight...Paul walks around at about 154

put east side(no space) before boxing. for some reason this site prohibits links to other boxing sites.

also in the ring life episodes, the show paul eating alot to bulk up so he can make it to 160.

What a lifestyle, **** I can't even afford Fubu .

the most ive spent on suits is 500, it's like a good watch, you always have to have one, of those manly things in life haha.

Paul Williams 155-158
Shane Mosley 160-165
Miguel Cotto 165-170
Joshua Clottey 175+
Floyd Mayweather Jr. 155-160
Ricky Hatton 170-180
Andre Berto 160-165
Antonio Margarito 170

Those are the top guys at 147. All of them walk around weighing more than Paul, yet Paul is too big for 147 and not a true Welterweight. Every time a potential fight for Paul at 147 gets brought up people say Paul has no business there and is picking on smaller guys...some one explain the logic behind that?

Are you the guy that weighs them while they're on vacation? I've always wanted to ask you a couple questions: Is it true Hatton would walk around over 180 pounds? And at how much does Arreola walk around at?

It would be great to have that kind of money though, I have never worn a suit before.

They say that because of his height, reach, and talent. You don't hear anyone complaining about Celestino Caballero at Super Bantamweight, he's 5'11" that's the same height as Roy Jones Jr, Carl Froch, Mike Tyson, taller than Oscar De La Hoya, Arthur Abraham, Winky Wright, Miguel Cotto, Floyd Mayweather, Shane Mosley Etc. and no one says anything. It's not about size, if PWill was a bum, he'd belong right there at WW without a doubt to these dumb posters. There's a difference between being too big and being too good, he beat Margarito in his prime so you can't blame anyone for avoiding him.

Paul Williams could make 140 if he wanted to

Me neither, don't worry man we'll wear a suit some day in our lives. It's inevitable.

[Lucky Doff]

I think that Pual Williams in the future, could maybe move all the way up to Light Heavyweight or cruiser weight if he wanted to.

Yeah, last time I was at a major function, I was about 15 or so. I like the inevitable comment, if you are referring to death lol.
