If Floyd hadn't ducked Paul Williams, what would have been the result?

when floyd fought corrales he relied mostly on his shoulder roll?floyd unlike most fighters can fight many different ways

He fights guys smaller than him, or exactly his same size. It's easier to use subtle movements, and lay on the ropes to tire out your opponent.

He'd have to constantly be moving in this fight. You really think he's going to stay in the center of the ring, and try and counter punch him all day? That's an easy target for Paul.

Even a guy like Margarito had to move backwards, and move around more than he was accustomed to.

Paul would be able to impose his will much easier than Floyd.

This is WW/JMW we're talking about here. Floyd doesn't have nearly as much movement at those weight classes.

Get the picture of LW Floyd out of your head.

The type of movement Martinez has is completely different from the type of movement guys like Mayweather give. Mayweather's movements are much more subtle and would be quite effective against guys like Williams. Mayweather is the type of guy who can get under, take a step to the side and make his opponents reset constantly just by taking 1 step whether it be from short range or mid range, where I think a fight with Williams would be fought considering Williams never really liked using his height and reach while fighting from long range.

Martinez on the other hand uses his movement to dart in and out but his type of movement requires much more space for him to operate.

I've always said that Martinez would have trouble with guys who put the pressure on him because of the type of movement he incorporates into his style.

Floyd's movements work better on guys that "think" then "hit". The reason is that by the time they "thought" it thru, Floyd made that subtle moves and feints. Then the fighter would either miss or "rethink" it thru again.

Williams is another animal altogether. With his type of workrate, He just hits you with a bunch of punches and it will be his opponent who would need to adjust from the bombardment. So while Floyd tries to adjust, Williams already threw 2-3 shots his way.

Again, Floyd hoped that his opponent will play his kind of chess match. Williams doesn't play chess!!!

Also, remember that Williams has the size/height advantage and is a southpaw and Floyd would not be able to use his shoulder roll effectively.

how many fights had floyd had at ww at that time?3? floyd used more than subtle movement against baldomir.so you and all the other floyd haters believe that quinatnna had or has better movement than floyd?beeter footwork than floyd?better stamina than floyd?quintann has horrible stamina and was still able to outbox williams for 12 rounds the same quintanna that couldn't avoid cotto for 12 rounds.williams style would give floyd problems for 4 rounds than after that floyd would just make him look stupid

47% for Floyd winning

53% for Paul winning

it's pretty close, the P Will votes are pretty spread, some think he would have won by KO and others UD. The Floyd votes are pretty straight forward, with most being a UD.

Anymore opinions?
