was looking to watch a fight tonight on my HD and came across his rematch with Martinez...did a quick google and completely forgot about his accident thought this was a great read https://sports.vice.com/en_us/artic...aralyzed-former-boxing-champion-paul-williams
Dude was my favorite boxer, obviously it's tragic what happened to him but it makes it so much worse that it was right before his fight with Canelo for his biggest payday.
He tried to portray himself as a hero when he was just another rich guy acting above the law and fucked it up.
Reminds me of Jason Williams, was a star point guard for Duke university, 1st round #2 pick (under Yao Ming). He was drafted by Bulls and ended up crashing his motorcycle ending his basketball career. At least Paul got to compete at a world level, but not Jason and his stupid decision. Riding a motorcycle against a signed contract with the Bulls to NOT ride, fucked up his career. If your last name is williams and you're about 6'2, and just learned to ride a bike, please wear proper riding gear. Or possibly avoid riding motorcycles altogether!
