    paul has a huge heart. i hope he walks again. having the possibility that you can walk within a year or two can help you so much mentally. but just like he said either if he walks or not he'll be the same till the end. in a way this interview was a little sad you can tell jim gray either cried before or was about to cry at the end of it. great interview stay positive paul hopefully we'll see you up and walking and watching live boxing:)

    This is so emotional to watch. I remember Paul, and like many others that Martinez KO sticks out but he was extremely an gifted boxer and i'm amazed at his positive outlook. I've dealt with chronic depression and i'm so glad he has the spirit he has it truly makes you reassess your own life.

    How can ANYONE dislike a video like this? I just have to say.... some people are senseless!
    In this video is one of the greatest displays of positive outlook and gratefulness that I've ever seen. His attitude towards life is helping many people (including me) to be thankful and look up in spite of their circumstances. I thank God for people like Paul. Before today I didn't know who a Paul Williams was. After today, I will never forget him.

I kept him in my prayers to this day, umph he was definitely a WARRIOR.
