Mayweather vs. Williams: the next Leonard - Hearns?

[MANGLER]

Those 2 fights would be nothin alike.

[pbftxrs316]

Not the same. Floyd is a complete fighter where as SRL isn't. SRL isn't nearly as defensive or as accurate as Floyd. SRL had to keep away from Hearns for like 75% of the fight and got the K.O win. Even tough he won by K.O, if it would have gone to the scorecards SRL would have CLEARLY lost. Ofcourse, Paul doesn't have Hearn's power, but Paul is dangrous. Its dangrous to have a fighter who is 6'2 has a serious reach advantage on you and throws 80-100 punches per round. It won't look like SRL vs Hearns. It'll just be Mayweather moving side to side and countering. Mayweather will be very defensive in this fight and will counter tons, still I'd say paul would be Mayweather's biggest threat at 147 and if the Paul that fought Margarito comes in fight night, I would NOT put my money on Floyd.

i would put your and my money on floyd if the paul williams that came to fight margarito showed up you know why? because margarito is not as skillful as floyd, nor will he ever be. he's not as fast as floyd, nor will he ever be. he's not as elusive as floyd, not as accurate, doesn't fight as good as floyd against taller fighters, his defense isn't nearly as great as floyd's is. in other words, margo's skillset sucks compared to floyd's, and let's not talk about chin, seeing how both of these fighters have never really been in trouble of being knocked out, and rarely knocked down. both had great stamina, and both could be seen as 15 round fighters, unlike paul who would weaken as the fight progresses, which he has shown, while tony and floyd only gets stronger as the fights pregresses, which they have also shown. and, paul is vulnerable to body shots, something floyd goes to very well, and paul was in trouble late in the fight with margo, who is much slower than floyd, and although margo may be stronger a little bit, floyd has hurt fighters ot the body, and is more than capable of doing the same to paul.
