Ive only seen Williams fight once on the undercard of PBF vs Baldy, he should have had that guy out of there in the first 3 rounds, he didnt live up to hes "punisher" nickname that night. Hes fast but doest use hes jab well to keep hes opponant at bay, hes 6'1 for christ sakes he should be able to go ages without being touched. I dont think he hits hard enough to cause any concern to Tony and although hes quick and moves hes head alot and he does throw flurries of combinations well, I think the long looping power punches of Margarito although slow will be enough to wear him down and probably stop him or take him to a comfortable victory.

Those Ape-long arms would have a reach advantage over most LHW's.

Should Williams win this fight, the state of Mexican boxing will be the worst I have ever seen it.

I expect both of them to weigh like 165 tommorrow night.

Paul Williams has a listed reach of 82 inches.

For comparison:

Nicolay Valuev: 85"
Sonny Liston: 84"
Lennox Lewis: 84"
Frank Bruno: 82"
Hasim Rahman: 82"
Larry Holmes: 81"
Wladimir Klitschko: 81"
Vitali Klitschko: 80"
Muhammad Ali: 80"
Evander Holyfield: 78"

that absurd reach may end up hurting him . .. AM can do work on the inside where those swingers will be almost useless.
