What I saw in Paul Williams last night isn't a guy who can beat Floyd Mayweather.

    I used to have Floyd winning this fight, now I'm not sure. Paul gave Cintron a lot of respect, as he should have. You can't go off of last night. Cintron boxed a little better than I thought he would, but Williams never really pressed the attack either. Floyd doesn't hit hard enough for Williams to give himt hat respect. You can bet if Paul ever fought Floyd he'd come out throwing punches from the opening bell on.

Everybody who listens to me post about Paul Williams knows I'm a fan of the guy, but I'm just trying to recognize real. Mayweather would beat him and quite easily I think.
      Agree.

      There's no question that Mayweather is the better boxer of the two and also the fastest by a huge margin. The only thing that I'm concerned about is the huge height advantage for Williams. Mayweather must be able to get really close to Williams and avoid that jab. Martinez would be an easier task I reckon.

        Mayweather and Mosley right now could easily beat Williams. Martinez would have a chance, but there are no guarantees.

        In terms of skill level, I would put Devon Alexander ahead of Williams, but in a fight, Williams would be a tougher opponent for anyone due to his freakish physical attributes. Nonetheless, neither would come close to beating Mayweather or Mosley. Pacquiao could beat Alexander (though he would avoid any such fight), but Williams' reach would be just too great.

          Yes, because all you have to do is come out throwing punches to beat Mayweather.

              I think it's unfair to judge fighter after three rounds. If Mayweather-Mosley was stopped after 3 rounds, I can guarantee the same sensationalistic, biased idiots, who claim "Cintron was on his way to stopping Williams" would have said the same thing about Mayweather against Mosley. Guaranteed. Three rounds is not enough. This is not the amateur boxing.

                A lot of people here are ignorant(don't mean any disrespect) to what what boxing actually is. They see Mayweather's work-rate and think that all his opponent has to do is pressure him throwing more punches than he does. Obviously people who understand boxing know that it's not that simple.

                  Good to hear that PWill is a walk in the park for Floyd. Floyd would be encouraged by that and give the guy a big pay day.

                      Naah. I don't need to. Check one of my previous posts. PWill will be too slow for Mayweather. Martinez would be more competitive. Still a PWill option is just as interesting considering the height difference.
