Paul Williams Looking To Unify, Then Move Up

[slicksouthpaw16]

Paul "No Defense" Williams would get tagged all night by Floyd. It wouldn't be difficult for Floyd to connect on that long azz body. Paul doesn't have great handspeed(not saying its bad) just a long reach. Good head movement but he was letting slow ass Margarito connect late in their fight. Unless Paul gets better Floyd will DROP HIM. THAT'S RIGHT I SAID IT. Cotto would be a tougher fight for Floyd than Williams. Paul hasn't beat anyone good yet. Margarito is average.

one word. ''Volume'' i don't see how Floyd could deal with the punch output and work rate. i just can't see Williams being beat at 147. Cotto would land body shots but Williams proved that he could a hard shot. and that ''average'' Margarito has been ducked for a while by a few big names and Williams beat him by UD. I would pick Floyd to edge Cotto though.

Volume minus accuarcy = a lot of missed punches..

Floyd.. best defense in the business.. Williams has average accuracy.. Perhaps even less than average.. I dont think his work rate would help him.. I think it would actaully hurt him in the long run..

I do think Floyd would win. At the end of the day though, who wants to fight a guy 6-7 inches taller than them? Because that's what Floyd and Cotto would have to do. If I were them, I wouldnt even have Williams on my radar.

that does not matter. as long as you are throwing, you will impress the judges because you are out working your opponents even if you miss. thats the style to beat a pure boxer, volume punches. just simply let your hand go in volume. this fight is a bad style match up for Floyd. Williams is a 6'2 southpaw with decent pop and devoloping boxing skills as well.

i think williams is gettin a bit ahead of himself here. let him win some more fights against the top guys. i like williams alot, but he only just beat margarito, who is slightly above average. let him fight clottey and cintron, and see where hes at...

It going to be pretty hard for him to stay at WW for too long because he will be weight drained and washed up e****ally if he comes in fight night 160 or something

The key thing I see in Paul beating Floyd is his jab. Floyd showed a bit of a weakness against Oscar's jab for the first 7 rounds, Paul can throw his for the entire 12. And enough of this Floyd KOs Paul business, because if Margarito couldn't do it, Floyd sure as hell won't. People say Paul doesn't have any pop, but he sure stopped Mitchell quicker than Floyd did.

Could not have said it any better myself. Don't know why people are so high on P Williams. The "truth" is that he isn't even close to being in the league of a PBF and i don't even like the guy. Paul Williams is good but he has an awful lot to prove. PBF would pick him apart with his speed and also his body attack and precise punches. Also Cotto would beat him too with his will and body attack. He would walk right through P Williams slapping style of punching in bunches.
