Johny Williams (paffiwr)

Roedd **Johnny Williams** (25 Rhagfyr 1926 – 6 Chwefror 2007) yn baffiwr proffesiynol o Gymru yn y 1940au a'r 1950au. Ym 1952 ef oedd pencampwr pwysau trwm Prydain a'r Ymerodraeth Brydeinig.

## Bywyd cynnar
Ganwyd Williams ar fferm Cellfechan Abermaw ar ddydd Nadolig 1926. Pan yn dair oed symudodd ei deulu i redeg fferm yn Rugby, Swydd Warwick. Cafodd Williams ei fwlio yn yr ysgol yn Rugby gan ei fod yn Gymro uniaith a dysgodd cwffio er mwyn amddiffyn ei hun rhag ei erlidwyr. Gwelodd bod modd gwneud arian o baffio trwy i Robin, ei frawd, betio gyda phlant eraill yr ysgol nad oedd modd iddynt wneud i Johnny crio. Yn 10 oed dechreuodd paffio am wobrau mewn ffeiriau. Er mwyn ennill arian dechau yn y bythau bocsio roedd raid ymladd mewn nifer o ornestau yn olynol, gan hynny dysgodd Williams fod osgoi ergydion cyn bwysiced a'u glanio er mwyn goroesi; arweiniodd hyn at feirniadaeth ohono fel bocsiwr proffesiynol fel un orofalus.

## Gyrfa broffesiynol
Trodd Williams yn broffesiynol ym 1946, daeth yn adnabyddus am arddull gwyddonol yn y cylch. Un o'i ornestau enwocaf oedd yr un yn erbyn Jack Gardner ar 17 Gorffennaf 1950 yng Nghaerlŷr; roedd yn frwydr am deitl y Gymanwlad lle collodd Williams ar bwyntiau mewn ornest a disgrifiwyd gan y BBC fel un o'r ornestau mwyaf erchyll flinedig yn hanes y gamp yng ngwledydd Prydain, bu'n rhaid i'r ddau baffiwr gwario noson yn yr ysbyty wedi'r ymrafael

Ymladdodd Williams a Gardner yn erbyn ei gilydd eto ym 1952 ac enillodd Williams wedi 15 rownd, gan hawlio'r teitlau Prydain a'r Ymerodraeth.

Llwyddodd i amddiffyn ei deitlau yn erbyn Johnny Arthur o De Affrica ym 1952, cyn ei golli ar bwyntiau dros 15 rownd i Don Cockell o Loegr ym 1953. Wedi cyfres o ornestau gwael ym 1955 a 1956,  gan gynnwys un lle cafodd ei fwrw allan ar ôl pum rownd gan ei hen wrthwynebydd, Gardner, rhoddodd Williams y gorau i focsio ym 1956 ar ôl ennill 60 ornest, dod yn gyfartal mewn 4 a cholli 11.

Gwariodd gweddill ei oes yn ffermio.
## Bywyd personol
Priododd Jocelyn (Joyce) Sarsfield ym 1949, bu iddynt un ferch. Bu farw ger Rugby yn 80 mlwydd oed.
