RIP.

I missed his prime years but he used to fight on Wide World of Sports in the late 90s


He had a VERY rough life. Maybe its better for him that he doesnt have to worry about all those demons.

Tied to a chair and forced to watch his mom raped, then stabbed to death, watched his uncle shot at point blank range next to him in the car, was the sole survivor of a bus wreck that killed every single person in his school class along with the driver, overdosed on yeyo 5 or more times, was pronounced dead once, fell into a coma after a head injury right after that.

Boxer Paul 'The Punisher' Williams likely paralyzed after wreck

ATLANTA -- In a decorated career in the boxing ring, Paul Williams picked up three belts and the nickname, "The Punisher." Now, Williams has a bigger fight ahead.

After a Sunday morning motorcycle crash near Atlanta, Williams is likely paralyzed from the waist down.

Manager George Peterson told News 12 that he's in the hospital with a surgery scheduled for Wednesday. That surgery will be to stabilize the healthy upper half of his spine by putting a protective wall around it.

Williams was schedule to fight Saul Alvarez for the WBC Light Middleweight title Sept. 15 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

The product of the Aiken Boxing Club has a career record of 41-2-0, with 27 knockouts. He's the two-time holder of the WBO Welterweight championship and has held the WBO Light Middleweight belt once.
