God I just realized that I would absolutely love to see Mayweather-Williams.
I personally think that Mayweather's defense would likely solve both Cotto and Cintron (that is just in my opinion, please don't argue with me about that in THIS thread), so that is why I would want to see this.
Mayweather already beat one opponent who threw a million punches in Jesus Chavez, but they fight completely differently.
I would love to see Mayweather's defense try to solve the trillion punches that Williams throw, and see how he finds ways to land punches himself.
Obviously this wouldn't be FOTY, but I do think it would be more exciting than Cotto or Cintron.
I would guess Mayweather-Cotto would look like Castillo II, and I would guess Mayweather-Cintron would look like the Corrales fight.
Williams will give Mayweather his first loss due to a Boxing clinic....I think he is just to BIg for Floyd...He can win it just off the jab...Zab Judah would have a better chance because he has one punch KO power.
I'm a fan of Floyd and I agree. Williams at welter weight will beat anybody if he fought like a tall man.

i agree with you here bro. I love Marg..but a loss is a loss. PW = TOUGHER CHALLENGE, better fighter then MARGO.
I dont understand why Margorito is being brought up for fighting a belt holder. I'm not trying to downplay Tony by any means but he does have to earn his title shot again IMO.
You're right Williams was the better man that night.
margarito would be a tougher challenge. same size and same volume of punches but he would stalk mayweather relentlessly and he has way more power than williams.
JESUS. Are you stuck on stupid? How would he be a tougher challenge and he didnt event beat Williams.
KILL YOURSELF. You are the worse fan I know. You're dumb and very bias. You just love :wank: to Margorito pics dont you! For the last fucking time Margorito lost you dumbfuck and he needs to works his way back up the ladder.
meaning he doesnt want to fight a real threat
Thanks dude, we were all scratching our heads trying to figure out what he meant by that... glad your intellect saved us there.
A stipulation on the Mayweather-Williams bout:
Williams should be forced to come out to that "Ain't no stopping us now" song by McFadden and Whitehead that he did against Mitchell and Pakau. He is just so money when he does so.
Floyd will fight maybe 3 or more times before he retires and he is going to maximize the dollar and the fame value in each of those. Cotto, Williams, possibly a MW title fight are good choices, Margarito is definitely not.
I think the MW title would be absolute suicide to be honest.
Cotto, Williams... I really can't think of a third fighter that fits the bill as being as deserving as the two mentioned. Maybe Cintron, but I don't think so... hopefully the year and a half that would go by for Hatton, Cotto and Williams will have brought someone worthy to the forefront.
EDIT: The MW title would be suicide because he wouldn't get a lot of credit, even if he did win. You saw the way Cory Spinks had to fight a middleweight, and Cory is huge compared to Mayweather. Even less toe-to-toe action and a hell of a lot more boring if Mayweather moves up to 160.

Williams UD12 Margarito
Williams threw more than double the punches that Margarito threw in their fight. Would you just shutup?
hopefully Floyd will be able to make up his mind what he's fighting for after the Hatton fight.
hopefully not, hatton will pull the upset, then floyd will cry and his legacy will go down the drain, he wouldn't be a draw annymore, the reason why floyd is a draw is that everyone just want him to lose, and people actually pay to watch that happen, but it still hasn't
Are u serious, I heard on HBO that Williams has longer reach than any of the heavyweight champions. It could be even when it's both of mayweather's arm, hahahah? If Paul fought the way he fought margarito, non-agressive and using distance, not coming forward, I can't imagine floyd winning, seeing floyd trying to come in on him would be great though. VERY INTERESTING.
Williams has a huge wingspan, but arm length (from armpit to end of fist) is equal, at least according to HBO.
HBO has their arm lengths as identical in all their fights. Whether that is true or not, idk... his height would help that though.
It's so hard to envision how workrate plays up against Floyd's defense, because in reality, there has never been someone who is prolific with the shoulder roll shell defense, and has great elusivity. That is why I want to see it.

It wouldn't happen. Williams is young, huge, and undefeated. A real modern phenom. Mayweather wants guys in his age range and experience level. Mayweather won't be fighting any of these young, upcoming guys anytime soon.
That would be an awesome fight, very interestiing. But I don't think you can compare his earlier fights to those that he would fight now, the size differences are huge. Willaim's arms are longer than Floyd, I actually think Williams would UD Floyd with workrate and length in a fight with not to many exchanges. I actually can't see how Mayweather would do it, the style and size combination are very bad news for him, plus williams does have pop and a solid Jab.
