    Im Floyds BIGGEST fan....

    Williams would throughly dominate him.
    I wouldn't say dominate him, but he could definetly beat him. Still I am leaning with Floyd to outbox Williams if they ever fight, and beat him to a ud. Floyd would counter him all night.

      Williams would jab him to hell..Paul doubles and triples his jab at times....it would frustrate the hell out of Floyd....

      And Williams KEEPS coming...Martinez is a southpaw with power..Floyd doesnt hit hard enough to Keep Williams honest and he doesnt throw enough punches.

      This is a TERRIBLE matchup....

      Just because a 5-11, slick...167 pound... southpaw with KO power who lets his hands go had sucess vs. Paul....

      DOES NOT....

      mean that a 5-8 right hander..who barely throws punches and will weigh 147 pounds can.

        likely because his habits started early and its just too late to correct them. williams started as a raw fighter in general.

          you're a little biased, and I see that Williams is your favorite fighter, so you perception might be a little distorted. It would not be an easy fight for Floyd, yet his defensive technique, precision punching, speed, and overall ring generalship will cruise him to a UD. BTW can I red k you for the **** of it? **** it i'll just do it.

                    Williams is cool because he's NOT limited to fighting on the outside, despite being tall. He has outstanding uppercuts and short hooks to go along with his jab and straight left. Williams wouldn't be as fun to watch or as good (imo) if he stayed outside.

                      I know you like Paul and all but on a very serious note, Hes not good enough at this point to say that he couldbeat floyd.

                      The best thing he has for him is workrate and his freakish size.

                      1. He dosent use his size to his advantage in most cases.
                      2. Work rate is easily nullified with the skills a fighter like Floyd posses. Paul wont be throwing so many punches after hes smacked in the faced a few rounds and the majority of his punches hit nothing but air.

                      Now you have to ask yourself what will paul rely on then? His defense isnt the greatest and skills are still raw at best. Hell get countered all night to a easy UD.
