Williams/Mayweather = Forrest/Mosley

i agree... i've been believing that paul williams is the biggest threat out there for mayweather... simply because of height...and reach advantage... is williams boxes vs. floyd he has a good chance to win... but if he presses the action vs. Mayweather (if mayweather can reach him with effective blows) i believe Mayweather would win a POT SHOTTIN DECISION or late KO!!! Mayweather is a Boxing BEAST!!!

P Williams is a threat to anybody at WW. But so is PBFM. It would be 1 hell of a fight! My moneys on Money Mayweather.

This comparison is not on target, at all. Williams is a volume puncher, Forrest was an accurate boxer that relied on more powerful shots. Williams accuracy can be off, his volume CAN make up for it. Williams moves more, and if a guy can make him miss, he can have a off night. A guy like Mayweather can make him miss. However, a guy like Forrest could really do some work against Mayweather. Forrest would time his shots better, had more power and also would work behind a POWERFUL jab, not a lazy jab. Furthermore, Mosley is more of a combination puncher, who COULD be known to rely too much on his power. He also sticks to a one dimensional game, from time to time. Mayweather does not. (NOTE: Mosley ISN'T one dimensional, he just tends to stick to a strategy, SOMETIMES, when he shouldn't.) Mayweather can figure a guy out a bit better than Mosley can. Just.. two different fights, they'd go two different ways. Furthermore, people act like Mayweather would have trouble with Williams, because he's never fought someone like him. Maybe. But how the hell do you know? You've never seen him with a guy like Williams, either.

Paul Williams is clearly the biggest threat to Mayweather at 147, I really hope Floyd dosen't duck Williams. I think Williams vs Mayweather will be similar to Forrest vs Mosley. Floyd will fare a bit better than Mosley because of his defense and running, but in the end he will get outworked and overwhelmed by the bigger,stronger volume puncher Paul Williams. Paul Williams the man no one want's to fight at 147 if the money is right.Paul Williams is not a big name yet but he's well know he beat antonio magarita for the wbo title which makes him the #1 IBF contener, Williams an Centron. centron is the IBFtile champion but when he faces wiliams it a done deal see ya centron.

he is probably the biggest threat but Cotto deserves the fight with mayweather more just like Hatton deserved it before.

Interesting point: Both Williams and Forrest are from Augusta, Georgia... truthfully, i think forrest would likely beat mayweather in his prime, im dead serious, to me, he was that good, the only time i seen him look not-so-dominant was against tszyu.

1. Forrest dominated people with a stiff jab that hurt, his stance would never allow a sharmba mitchell to get inside 2. Forrest hits harder 3. Forrest isnt some volume puncher, hes a boxer puncher who knocked people the fuck out 4. You have never seen a forrest fight in his prime.

will has far less power than forrest. pbf wont have to worry about that at all, as i dont think will hits anywhere near as hard as odlh, but what pbf does have to worry about the is the sheer volume of punches by will, and of sourse his condor like wing span!

I really love the Corrales/Williams comparison. Fact is Floyd has never faced anyone like Williams, and if he's smart, likely never will. Paul has an amazing jab, which he can throw for a full 12 rounds. Oscar showed, for the first 7 rounds anyway, how vulnerable Floyd is with his jab. Floyd knows how talented the WW division is right now and that is partly why he has chosen to fight outside of it for over a year (Hatton, who looked terrible against B-level at best Collazo in his only 147 fight doesn't count.) He'll fight Cotto, who I think he can beat, but he will never fight Williams or Margarito (after he KOs Cintron again.)

I totally disagree..1st off Williams dont have the same power in his right hand than Forrest does..that was Mosely's main fear when he fought Forrest that straight right..2nd, PBF and Mosely are different..PBF has slick defense and a nice jab, Mosely doesnt truly have a jab and Mosely's defense is his offense. PBF would beat Williams it would be similar to how he beat the late Diego Corrales. Except Williams won't just be walking in seeing to knock Floyd out thats not what Williams does. Williams will come out with his long ass jab get close throw light powered combination and back to the safety of his 80 inch reach. I honestly don't see how Floyd can win unless he really digs down and fights it out more than he had to dig to beat Hatton.

I agree but Williams isn't a big name right now. Floyd wouldn't fight him unless there was major mula for him even then his team probably wouldn't let him take the fight because they know how dangerous Williams.
