Unfortunately, a lot of people have forgotten about former boxer Paul "The Punisher" Williams. He won some big fights during his boxing career—he beat guys like Winky Wright, Antonio Margarito, and Carlos Quintana—but, back in May 2012, he was involved in a motorcycle accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down and ended his career. So he doesn't always get the respect that he deserves.

Denzel Washington hasn't forgotten about him, though. He attended NBC's Premier Boxing Champions debut on Saturday night. And while he was there, he stopped by to say hi to Williams and shared a nice moment with him. You can see it go down in the clip above. It's good to see that Williams appears to be in good spirits these days.
