There's a consensus that floyd hasn't fought the best, avoids top challenges, ducked fighters in the past, etc etc.
However, if he fought Paul Williams would that in your eyes erase any questions about floyds heart, willingness to test his limits, and erase all the fights that shoulda coulda woulda been made?
Win loss or draw here.
I vote yes
When has Paul Williams said anything about fighting Floyd
i believe he mentioned it on air to merchant before the margarito fight...something to the effect that he'd love to but he knows floyd n the other ww's dont want too...
Funny post. Almost as funny as Floyd growing a sack and fighting someone like Paul Williams. Almost.
When has Paul Williams said anything about fighting Floyd
that's right!
floyd is a natural super featherweight.
it's unfair for floyd to fight all the big welterweights.
floyd is not a natural 147 guy.
floyd should only fight 140 , 135 or even 130 and 126 guys......at 147.

I dont think they will and they will always say he's ducking Cotto like its Floyds responsibility to call out Cotto
i don't think it's either guys responsiblity...fans gotta make the demand...and it'll happen
Its not Floyds responsibility....
Floyd is chasing dollars...a.k.a. Pac-Hatton winner.
Why did he fight Oscar and Hatton???
The two biggest PPV monsters in the sport...MONEY.
What fight is he tuning up for??
Yep Pac-Hatton.
I realize its not his responsibility im saying Cotto fans make it seem like Floyd needs to call out Cotto when Floyd was the p4p king and does not need to call anyone out
Paul Williams hasn't touched 147 in a while and Floyd aint fighting that freak. Cotto, Mosley would make sense.
But those who dislike Floyd would find an excuse anyway...
O Shane was washed up or past prime(true), or Cotto was damaged goods, or Floyd ran all night...
all 3 of those will prolly be true by time he fights them. Just face it, he's a ****in sham. Him and his whole career. But if he fought p.will and really beat that ass. Then i wouldn't question him anymore.
He has long arms big deal....He fights on the INSIDE when his opponents are the same size as him..he uses his reach on the outside when they are bigger.
Saying Oscar is the same size as Floyd is ban worthy...thats just being a troll.
that's right!

i dunno man, even a cotto fan would have to respect floyd fighting pwill. sure they'd prob still want floyd to fight cotto no doubt, but there's gotta be some respect given there.
I dont think they will and they will always say he's ducking Cotto like its Floyds responsibility to call out Cotto
If Pwill went back to WW and Mr boat buyer fought him, win, lose, or draw he should get respect. He'd lose imo. And of course, Mr boat buyer don't wanna fight WW's. This fight will never ****in happen.
I agree with that you'll never here me say Williams is not the biggest threat.........but i know Cotto fans wont give him credit until he fights him

Anyone that knows boxing knows Pwill would be a far far tougher matchup for floyd than Cotto would.

No it wont because then people will say well he never fought Cotto there is always gonna be a person that they say he ducked

Never said floyd was 'scared' or that cotto/mosley were. The point here is that Floyd's already regarded as being on a higher level than cotto/mosley anyway. Enough people feel floyd hasn't fought the best at 140, 147 or 154. He fights Pwill at whatever weight, he shuts those people up.

Floyd's never fought a bigger man than himself. De La Hoya was the same size.
If Floyd is so small, why does he insist on fighting JMM at welterweight? Why can't he move down to 135? Answer: he can't - since he's become fully physically mature and completely filled out, he's a natural welterweight.
Floyd has had a reach advantage over all his opponents. His arms at 26" are the same length as Wladimir Klitschko's, and his reach is greater than many heavyweights such as David Tua and Rocky Marciano.
Floyd is a fairly big man.
So him and Diego Corrales were the same size:wtf:
Its cool if you feel that way but you can't say Floyd's "scared" and say Cotto and Mosley are not. Mosley turned down a Paul Williams fight.
And Idk about Floyd's opponents being harmless...

Floyd has already proved enough to me. 39 guys have tried. 39 have failed. 25 of them even got knocked out.
that's right , brother!
39-0. 39-0. 39-0.
floyd is the greatest!
entire career? really? you might want to check that.
Williams beat Margarito and the rest of the welter's dont really want a piece.
I bring up Williams since he can fight at 147-160.
Floyds fought some bigger opponents, but they were harmless at the time - which is again the point of this thread - williams is the biggest threat out there between 147-160.

Floyd's been fighting bigger opponents at a disadvantage his entire career. You guys brought Paul Williams into the mix. He has one meaningful win at the weight. Against Margarito. He hasn't done shit at 147.
