note that i put "prime" williams. i mean williams as a natural welterweight. i doubt he could reach 147 anymore. but say this fight was a couple years ago, when both were at welter. who would have won?
for me, it's floyd all the way. too smart for paul, even with the height differential taken into consideration. it's be a bit like floyd vs corrales again, but better, cause paul's got better skills than corrales.
thoughts?
then how come hes given all southpaws some of the worst beatings in his resume?
First reason - Floyd is a great boxer.
Second - the only good southpaw he fought was Judah, who managed to knock Floyd down, but then gassed out as usual...
It is not only about southpaw stance. The combination of Williams` qualities is a nightmare for Floyd. Judah just shown that Floyd doesn`t deal great with lefties. Would you consider Judah more difficult fighter at 140 than P.Will?
Listen, I`m neither a fan of P.Will nor a hater. I think guy is about to leave the ring with some brain damage after he faces a 160-168 lbs puncher. But the qualities he had at 147 should`ve been enough to beat Floyd... If they ever fought.
Floyd would clown Paul Williams. The guy is overrated garbage in my honest opinion, he has the ingredients to be great but he doesn't use his height and length to his advantage, because of that he fights at a disadvantage.
Strugg.................. eat a dick.
The Punisher stops Floyd late!!Here's why:Floyd has never really beaten any prime figthter at 147,or at 154,period.He's never faced a bigger fighter with a higher workrate since Corrales & the Punisher at 147 is miles ahead of Chico!!The workrate,the hight,the stamina,Floyd wouldn't know what to do against a prime welterweight!!
Southpaw stance, constant pressure - that`s the tools you need to beat Mayweather. Iron chin and incredible endurance - that what will keep Williams in the fight for the whole 12 rounds. I don`t bring up the reach advantage as Williams doesn`t fight "tall". Williams by decision... If that ever happened.
I think this fight would be a huge mis-match. Ok Williams has a good workrate but you need alot more than that to beat a great boxer like Mayweather. Paul throws alot of wide punches and gives up his height aswell. I think Floyd would just time him over and over with the right hand and eventually knock him out in the middle to late rounds.
It will a special fighter to beat Mayweather if he ever gets beaten and no disrespect to Paul Williams but I don't know what all the fuss is about him. He's nothing special.
I surely agree on this one. Although I think Paul is just a busier fighter not a harder puncher than Chico. Sergio landed flush shots and put him on his ass. Paul is far to easy to hit simple and plain. His offense covers up his lack of defense just like Pacman
