    Default Paul Williams paralyzed after crash

    Former two-time welterweight titlist Paul Williams faces his biggest fight, this one outside of the ring, after he was paralyzed from the waist down in a motorcycle accident Sunday morning in Atlanta.

    George Peterson, Williams' trainer, manager and father figure, said on Monday that Williams' doctors said he would never walk again and that his boxing career is over.

    "They're saying he won't walk again or box again," said Peterson, who flew to Atlanta from Washington, D.C., where they were training for Williams' next fight, on Sunday. "Paul is in denial right now. It's been that way with him. You tell him he can't or won't do something, and he wants to prove you different. So whatever the doctors say, he's not listening. But they say that (walking and boxing) is not going to happen."

    This is a sad story. Also, Johnny Tapia was found dead yesterday in his Albuquerque home. Sad day in boxing.

    there are only 2 types of motorcyclists,
    1. those who have been down
    2. those who are going down.
    These stories are more than sad, they are tragic,
    but those who assume the risks must also endure the consequences
    CAN WE PLEASE JUST SKIP ALL THE NONESENSE AND JUST TALK FOOTBALL?
