  HBO: Boxing: Fighters: Bio: PAUL WILLIAMS
Paul took his first significant step up in class of opposition in April, 2005, and won a near shutout 10-round decision against 1996 Olympic bronze medalist Terrance Cauthen.
Paul had very little amateur experience and was developed slowly against limited opposition over his first four years as a pro.
Paul showed in his some of his early fights that he can box, move, and be elusive - that he can be successful in the "Just win today, you can look good tomorrow" style.

 CNN.com - Paul Williams: Differing legal systems challenge terror probe - December 6, 2001
PAUL R. WILLIAMS: Given the existence of al Qaeda cells in dozens of countries, it will be difficult to ensure the effective prosecution of suspected terrorists in large part because of the differing quality of investigative and prosecutorial staff in the different countries.
WILLIAMS: Given that the European Convention on Human Rights and other instruments of European law prohibit the death penalty we can anticipate that our European allies will refuse to extradite suspected al Qaeda members to the United States absent an assurance they will not be executed if found guilty.
WILLIAMS: On the contrary, in the short term the United States is relying upon a number of legal instruments, such as the NATO treaty, U.N. Security Council resolutions and bilateral treaties to prosecute its war on terrorism.
