    if they fought in 2012. It sucks Williams was injured in a motorcycle Accident, and is now in a wheel chair. Lara was robbed in his fight against Williams, And Canelo beat lara when they fought. Williams is in the downside of his career, and I think Nelo would have beaten him.

    If green Canelo gave clean punching and defense therapy to prime Trout and beat Lara more decisively than Williams, he would beat Williams.

    I am sad for him. Motorcycle destroyed a good career. He would be much better opponent than Josesito Lopez and first real test of Canelo.

      Yeah I think it would have played out similar to the Trout fight. Competitive fight but Canelo wins 7-5’ish with maybe a knockdown or two.

        Close fight where Williams outworks Canelo but Alvarez lands the better shots and gets a contested decision. Really sad what happened to the Punisher.

          Williams was at the end of the road at that point. I won't speculate on Alvarez, I'll just say its a goddamn shame we never got the Williams-Martinez rubber match we all deserved.

                Canelo would benefit from Williams in two ways.

                1- Williams-Trout-Mayweather-Lara quartet in Canelo's resume in a row. It would be just phenomenal.

                2- Canelo would perform against Floyd better because of Williams+Trout experience. Floyd would still win but fight would be closer.

                Accident didn't only destroy a career, it affected boxing in general.

                  I was looking so forward to that fight to see how Canelo did against a taller high output fighter.

                  It was the Canelo curse for a bit, he was scheduled to fight Williams and then the accident occurred, He was scheduled to fight Ortiz and his jaw got broken against Lopez.

                    Canelo would have torn Williams body up.
