Official Poll: Mayweather vs. Paul Williams.

um, isn't sunday part of a weekend? mayweather or his camp never said they are making an announcement this weekend boxingscene posters said that i guess that still floyds fault

but he hasn't lost yet true! but almost always against orthodox fighters. This isn't criticism, I didn't like fighting southpaws either. Most right handers don't. But when you set up any fantasy fight between an orthodox fighter and a southpaw you should consider how the orthodox fighter does against southpaws more than just looking at the skills.

The Punisher beats Floyd any weight!!

i thought floyd was gonna say who he is fighting this weekend um, isn't sunday part of a weekend?

Everybody forgets Mayweather inabilty to fight southpaws. Which is the main reason this fight will not happen. I personally believe Mayweather is a better boxer but styles can make fights. but he hasn't lost yet

It's an interesting matchup, should happen...I hope.

Mayweather will tie Paul Williams in knots.

Williams's punches are wide and sloppy, Floyd would win. But it would definitely be competitive.

Mayweather by wide decisions (at least 117-111) at either weight.

I think Floyd would son him. Too bad he still wouldn't take the chance though.

To give you guys an analogy.... If this was a video game, Williams would be a button-smasher. You know the guy who presses a ton of buttons, and just overwhelms the person he is going against. He really isn't knowledgeable....he just presses whatever he can and hopes it works. He goes on a streak until someone, an experienced gamer, figures him out and exposes him for not having true knowledge of the game. In similar fashion, Williams mentality is to just throw and throw. Well what happens when he is slowed down and has to think out what he has to throw, and actually pick his shots? I think Cintron rounds 1-3 showed you all you need to know about Paul when he has to do the latter. This is a solid post. I wouldn't call Williams a button masher, however lol. He adjusted very well against Martinez and took over the fight down the stretch. The Cintron bout is a little overblown. If we were to judge some of Floyd's performance in the first three rounds of a bout we might think he was well on his way to losing too. Williams' mentality to just throw and throw isn't unlike Manny Pacquiao, for instance. No, he's not as cerebral but you get the point. Mayweather would have his hands full because Williams doesn't give a f*ck. That's a handful for anyone.

i always said that pwill is too sloppy and floyd would pick him apart.

ive always had the belief that pwill is the only guy (currently) who can beat pbf. i would pick paul if they fought.

Who takes this potential match up. Multiple Vote poll. Williams is too sloppy IMO. Mayweather will find his faults and point them out. i wanted to see Williams vs Martinez though. hope this fight don't happen :dance:

Watching Mayweather do his thing against De La Hoya at LMW was enough to convince me that Williams wouldn't trouble him too much. As has been mentioned before, the big guy doesn't use his hugely advantageous attributes effectively, and he doesn't jab enough - which is one thing that De La Hoya, when he decided to use it, gave Mayweather something to think about (and won himself some rounds in doing so). To give you guys an analogy.... If this was a video game, Williams would be a button-smasher. You know the guy who presses a ton of buttons, and just overwhelms the person he is going against.

Well what happens when he is slowed down and has to think out what he has to throw, and actually pick his shots? I think Cintron rounds 1-3 showed you all you need to know about Paul when he has to do the latter. And a good analogy it is. I like it. :thumb1:

I got Floyd. I used to think Williams would beat him but not anymore. P.Will showed his weaknesses against Quintana & Martinez, both two slick boxers, which Floyd is too and then some. Floyd moves circles around him and wins a comfortable 12rd decision. Both Quintana and Martinez were southpaws though... and Punisher waxed Quintana in under a round in the rematch. Floyd's people don't like him fighting southpaws and now you have a 6'2"ish southpaw who throws 100+ punches a round with a reach longer than most heavyweights. That's a nightmare matchup for Floyd. The only hope he would have is to stay close and try to outthink Paul, which sounds easier than it is because he can bang inside, actually he prefers it- doesn't really use range and his reach, he's actually an in-fighter despite his height/lankiness. Floyd will NEVER sign on to fight Williams.

That Mayweather check hook would find a home all night long.

If Paul got with a trainer who taught him balance and how to use his freakish attributes effectively, NO ONE from 147-160 could beat him. I'd still give him the edge against Floyd because of his southpaw lean and work-rate coupled with his size. But he can be hit easily and he has a very weak and ineffective corner. If he got with a Freddie Roach or Emmanuel Steward, he would beat Floyd and anyone else in the neighborhood of light-middle easily.
