Prime Paul Williams vs. Current Floyd Mayweather at 147 and 154

[Pacquiao'd]

Yes, Carlos beat Punisher. So did Lara and Martinez. But those 3 have something in common that Floyd isn't, southpaws.

The Punisher's size, reach, workrate and stamina are the very things that would give Floyd problems. Which is why Floyd didn't even fight the lesser version of Paul, Margarito.

The Punisher isn't the average try to box idiot who allowed themselves to be schooled. He'd keep the pressure on, walk through the pitty pat pot shots and throw 100 punches a round at Floyd. Forcing him to be defensive the entire evening and beat him soundly.

Get off pwills nuts already, Floyd takes him to school. One of pwills falls outside of being there to be hit was fighting like a small man.

I think Mayweather would struggle mightily with Williams. Don't know if I'd pick Paul but that 82" reach would be a huge problem for Floyd.

No matter what happened, I guarantee Mayweather would have the fight of his life on his hands. What makes Williams different from any other go for broke fighter Mayweather has fought is the reach and the uncaring attitude towards getting hit. Paul wouldn't care that Floyd just hit him with a hard right hand, he'd keep throwing while his head was snapped back. Mayweather would have to work harder than he probably ever has.

Carlsberg doesn't do fantasy fights, but if it did, it's record would probably be just as good as Floyd Mayweather's fantasy based record.

I like Paul Williams and it would be an interesting and competitive fight, but I just can't get Quintana and Lara out boxing him out of my head.. I'd have Mayweather by clear UD at 147 and a more competitive UD maybe even SD at 154!

I would of agreed if Floyd actually did duck margarito, who really didnt have the style to beat Floyd. Floyd structured his career to get fights with Gatti and Oscar. Two money fights. He went directly to Gatti and directly to Oscar, and I hate to be predictable, But Arum had allot of credible fighters, and he accused Floyd of ducking all the fighters in between when he went to Oscar and Gatti. Its one thing to duck. He DUCKED Pacman. BLATANTLY. But I dont call him a ducker for going directly to his dream fights, and not stopping to fight those fighters in between. 2013 Mayweather would be too strong, aggressive, fast, and diverse for any version of Paul Williams. Mayweather is not Broner. Broner can be beat by punch output and pressure. Mayweather will beat your azz if you have a style like that. But I think Pac and Pryor had styles to trouble him. But not no damn Margarita, and Pwill. Floyd has shut down allot of volume punchers, who have styles more difficult than Margarita.

Did you see Floyd's last fight? In which he walked down a Ginger Jumbo Man? The Floyd who slapped up JMM would have a tough time with Pwill. But 2013 Floyd is waaaay too slick, diverse, aggressive, hits harder. Floyd pressured Canelo all around the ring, And Lara is one dimensional. A few versions of Floyd would have a problem with anyone who can take his power. But this old grandpa version of Floyd, who has that "Grown Man Strength" will probably stop a defenseless fighter like Pwill. He buckled Canelo with a stiff Jab in that 4th round right before Canelo lowblowed him. He got bigger, and stronger ever since he got out of jail. And Floyd's fight with Ghost show that he knows how to use footwork on a guy who is taller and longer. I know Boxrec and Tail of the tape list Ghost and Canelo as the same hieght as Floyd, with shorter arms but their always wrong. Everytime Floyd fights, his opponents look tall as hell, with longer arms. Pac got that style to trouble him, but not Pwill.

People actually believe this myth that Williams only weakness was southpaws?
