    Floyd couldnt even beat maidana easily. I think it'll be a hard fight but winnable. The hardest would be prime pacquiao and margarito at 147.

      Chin,volume punching, ability to cut the ring fighters is what Floyd avoided his entire career and for good reason the philly shell becomes worthless. Their is a reason why Floyd avoided Margs and pwill Floyd he didn't want that pressure that they would have maintained for 12rds

        @ people thinking Williams only had trouble with southpaws.

        The guy got tagged by everyone. He only looked good against guys who were stationary targets like Old Ass Winky Wright or Margarito (and he took a hell of a lot of punishment in that fight).

          NSB as a collective always makes guys that haven't fought Floyd better than they actually were and then reduces the careers of all the fighters whom Floyd defeated.

            Williams didn't really fight tall so there would be plenty of openings for Mayweather despite the height and reach of Williams.

              what floyd has avoided his entire career is a fighter with footwork

              never faced one, but from what he's faced he's had his most trouble with aggressive fighters, all thtough-out his career, because he usually doesn't have the power to keep them honest, or the ability to turn then, it's either sit on the ropes, hold for dear life or straight up run which lasts at maximum 3-4 rd's in his prime before having to take a couple of rd's off to refuel

                And as a collective way Floyd fans think floyd is immortal and can't be beaten by anyone even of the odds are against them.

                  He beat a prime sergio martinez who isn't a stationary target.

                    He lost that fight but got the decision. Sergio wasn't even properly trained. We all saw what happened in the rematch.

                      dude, if you ask an opinion question regarding a fantasy fight and Floyd fans pick Floyd-that's no different than any group of fans that pick "their" guy over another. That is what you expect fans to do.

                      But when you base your opinion of a guy solely on the fact he didn't fight Floyd, then change that opinion when he gets the Floyd fight and totally degrade him when he loses to floyd that's different.

                      you can feel pwill may have beaten Floyd. But he fought smaller than 6'1 and he did get outboxed by quintana and lara, 2 men who are not in Floyd's class. You don't seem to factor these facts into your assessment of pwill-just his high points.
