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

[IMDAZED]

Never saw it. He had success when he did his usual throwing a gazillion punches on the inside technique. He outworked Martinez in some exchanges. Sergio took the fight on short notice if we recall.

In fact, when he did try to punch from long range, he more often than not missed or fell short. Like I said, he can't deal with movement.

Don't know about that. I saw him land from the outside as well (see: end of fourth, hurts Martinez with long left). He landed inside and out...and got hit plenty too.

Shot ODLH and Cotto won 4-5 rounds against Mayweather, Guerrero won 3, why wouldn't P.WIll and Margarito win at least 1 round against Mayweather? lol.

I think Margarito and Williams would have likely given Mayweather his toughest fights at 147-154. Both guys had unbelievable stamina and workrate (throwing over 100 punches a round) and would have made Mayweather work every second of every round.

They would have certainly been the most physically demanding fights Floyd ever fought. Then again that's why neither fight was ever made.

man stop. DLH won 3 rounds, 4 being generous. Cotto 2 rounds, 3 being generous.

Statistically in terms of his physique P Will should have been a ridiculous match up for everyone but he never took advantage of his physical gifts like he should. He wouldn't fight tall nor would he keep Mayweather at the end of his jab. He's not the quickest either. Mayweather would dance around him to a decision but it would be interesting to watch.

I just see Williams lurching around after Mayweather never getting set to let off any shots, while Floyd dances around landing on a guy that was very hittable and would not adjust to the same punch getting landed over and over. Martinez did it, Quintana did it and Floyd is a master at finding what works and maximising your exposure to that weakness.

PW wins at 154 but probably a closer match at 147.

The jab worked well. Paul won rounds with his jab.
