    i agree and i think cotto would give paul hell with his body punching.

The biggest challange for paul would be cotto and his big left to the body.
        I agree with that.

        William is a hard style to beat, How I know that is because his style is similar to Tarver, Valero and me. Tall southpaw with reach that could pressure fight with distance of the reach.I tried it against other guy if I abit in trouble I just extend my arms abit for distance and jab abit. I even dont need to move around that much.

          Williams is too easily lured into inside fighting. If he used his huge reach advantage, maybe, but he always goes inside whenever his opponent wants to.


          Someday maybe, but not anytime soon.

            thats what i say the guy is a lanky brawler,if he used his reach he would have extraordinary advantage vs everybody in and near that division

              i agree williams is young, but his height and reach are rediculously bigger then flyod. As long as Williams is throwing that jab all day, he gets my vote for the win

                he reminds me of hearns or sadler they have the height and reach but were too easily lured into brawls but sadler had the power and chin to support his this.

                  Yea I agree, he still needs to execute, which is easier said then done. I think his physical attributes can beat flyod thou, and you can't say that for many people.

                    How about Cintron? same height and reach advantage that williams has, just lacks the workrate. what he doesnt have in workrate he more than makes up for in power though. floyd has never reacted well when he gets hit hard. on top of that, manny steward says he has the perfect gameplan to defeat, and i quote, "lil floyd". i think cintron & williams have an easier time with floyd than cotto because of their styles. i think cotto would take Pwil, unless paul can keep him away from that freakishly long body. Pwil, cotto, and cintron could all beat/ lose to one another for so many reasons. let's hope one of them leaves floyd flat on his back.

                      Horrible style matchup for Floyd. Williams has an insane height and reach advantage and the way he throws punches (often 100 or more a round) I can't see how Mayweather would look good against him. I mean Williams is no power hitter or anything, but he's a ****ing windmill and it's impossible to look good against a guy like that.

                      Margarito was actually blocking almost 50% of Paul's punches but he threw so many he just piled on the points. I can't see anyway the smaller, and more conservative fighter in Mayweather could beat someone who works as hard as Williams.

                      Aside from Mosley, Paul is the only current fighter I can see possibly beating Floyd.
