Mayweather vs. Williams: A look into the future

[Fox McCloud]

Here's a pretty good preview of Floyd vs. Williams.

Pretty Boy vs. Philip N'dou:

It is a taller opponent throwing a zillion punches, and Floyd doing what he should, counterpunching the **** out of Philip.

Thoughts on how this would be different? I know N'dou isn't a southpaw, but considering so many punches are thrown, it's not like these punches are technically solid southpaw punches.

Thats how Flyod prob would fight Williams, but Ndou was only 5'11 & they were fighting in the lightweight division. WIlliams is 6'1 & is a welter who should prob be a LM or middle. Plus I believe Williams is a better boxer then Ndou.

LOL i see what your saying but that is a bad comparison and here is why.

1. Paul Williams is 6'2 and not 5'11 or 6'0 ft

2.Paul Williams has an incredible 82 inch reach which is nasty for anybody, let alone 6'2 southpaw welterweight.

3.Paul Williams has great stamina and chin/body + great work rate to go with all the above.

5.Paul Williams is fighting 147 but he also feels comfortable 168. Paul will always be stronger than any welterweight out their. That includes the big ones like Cintron/Margarito who are big in their own right, just not Paul who is freak.

6.Like i said Paul Williams has way to many physical advantages over all the weltwerweight's out their at the moment, and theirs nothing Mayweather or anybody can do about height,reach,strength ect.

Plus the SouthPaw thing might be more of a factor then you think. Flyod loves throwing the left hook quickly, and that would be less of an option then in some of his last fights. He'd have to strongly rely on his right hand, which ovuislly is a pretty good shoot too, haha IE Arturo Gatti Fight

[Fox McCloud]

N'dou was considered strong as **** too (31-1 30 KOs).

Williams's reach is huge, 82 inches, but he arm length is the same as Floyd's (according to HBO).

Armpit to end of the fist measures at 26 inches for both fighters. Unless Paul can somehow make his reach a factor (and I don't see how, because the middle part of the reach is a hittable target) then I don't see how the 82 inch statistic matters at all.

The more punches thrown means there are more counter opportunities...

Floyd struggles against southpaws. It's a different in this fight. Floyd still wins, though.

paul wiliams being taller makes him less mobile, doesnt it.
n'dou didnt get tired, and i dont think endurance plays a factor, facing mayweather who has never shown fatique.

Mayweather fought corrales and ndou, both very similair to Wiliams.
I dont see why poeple think wiliams has a chance, he isnt the brightest fighter.

He only has output.
Reach doesnt land your punches.
And with mayweathers defence it will be even harder. Wiliams prolly will get tired because of being hit in the pit of the stomach so much.
Also the key to stopping mayweather is body punching, not head hunting,
Wiliams being so tall, makes it very hard for him to reach mayweathers body right? Mayweathers upper body and head hardly get hit, unless you have round 2 judah skills.

Who has wiliams beat to have a chance vs mayweather ? ..
Marg? he isnt very similair to floyd now is he. For wiliams facing a mayweather will be something new, Floyd already knows exactly what he wants to do. A wide ud. PBF. Cotto makes a little more sense.

How is it even remotely similiar?

N'dou liked to stalk and explode with his shots.

Williams doesn't go for the knockout type blows and he just outworks you until you get tired and start to drop your hands.

Not similiar in the least.

In the Mayweather fight, N'dou didn't go for the big shot everytime... in fact, the general consensus of people who watched the fight is, "How did that guy have 30 KOs?"

I see a lot of similarity, but that is just me apparantly.

If that is the case he will stand less of a chance, Mayweather isnt a sitting target, you gotta stalk him, preferably, explode on him.
Vs mayweather it will look similair trust me.
