Floyd Mayweather vs. Paul Williams....SRL-Hearns..sort of.

[JoartCC]

he IS the best......................

From your point of view.

But to the American masses?

Nah.

That's why they're settling for MMA instead of the Fake Floyd **** of running and doing nothing.

Mastery and excellence are tWO VERY BASIC DEFINITIONS.

And it doesn't include running like a chicken the whole fight.

And getting booed by your own fans in the process.

[THE REED]

TO every boxing writer, boxing analysist, boxing announcer, boxing website, and boxing fan... love him.. hate him... they all agree he is the p4p best... and if you disagree... it is merely JUST YOU who disagrees... and its not running, its called effective movement... its called boxing... nice try with ur little slick witted writing and comments... but 97% of this forum will even agree... floyd is the best fighter in boxing right now..

i just made a thread on this exact topic


How do you beat a guy thats 147 pounds, a southpaw, 6'2", Long reach, does not stop moving.. and does not stop throwing punches... how do you beat that? i think if floyd got in the ring with him, it would be just constant punches thrown at floyd, and im not saying theyd even hit him... but if you throw 120+ punches a round, your gonna win, whether there landing or not... I would have to take paul williams simply by completely and utterly outworking everyone, including floyd.... i actually met him in the airport on my way back from the roy jones hanshaw fight in biloxi... real nice guy... so what do you guys think? does that make sense? I just think you gata a REAL strong guy in cotto, but nothing REMARKEABLE, he CAN BE outboxed... where i think paul... how do you deal with that??? thats a long day for anyone... hes truly a current day tommy hearns... thoughts?! thanks guys.. and be easy!

Man,i dont need to post,u just posted for me,especially with Pauls iron chin,he can walk thru punches,if your not 6'2 and dont throw more then 100 punches a round i dont think u can beat Paul Williams,u can have all the skills in the world but if u cant hurt him its gona be HARD to beat him,i think the only guy that could beat him,is Cotto with a body shot,if he can get in close enough,but still,Pauls punch output is so great its too hard

I actually thought of that comparison for this matchup of SRL-Hearns, but in a sense that Williams, like many have said, isn't a 1 punch guy, but has an extremely high workrate that would offset the fact that he doesn't have 1 punch KO power.

Floyd would probably have a hard ass time fighting a guy like Paul, but I happen to have a gut feeling he might be able to pull it off the same way Leonard did, when NOBODY gave him a chance, especially considering Tommy's reach.

Yes, but Sharmba had actually hurt Williams at one point during the fight, PBF was never hurt or an any trouble when he beat Sharmba.

Shambre NEVER hurt Paul Williams,no way,he landed a good one-two (similar to the one he landed on Floyd) The crowed went wild,but in no way was Paul hurt,Margarito landed better punches and it didnt hurt Williams,the guys got a iron jaw

Since when has Paul shown or proven he has an iron chin? Iron? Shopwn he can take shots sure, not glass, but iron chin? Definitely has not proven that. Not that Mayweather will be exploiting it or anything, just wondering where that statement came from.

Paul gets hit flush ofton because of how he fights,ive seen a couple of his fights,the Matthyse fight,he took ALOT of punches flush,he didnt move back,he smiled and kept coming foward,Margarito fight,he took alot flush and didnt wince,the only time i seen him hurt a bit was a body shot in the 11th or 10th,ok maybe not IRON,but a very good chin
