Prime Floyd Mayweather vs Prime Paul Williams at 147

[Soda_Popinski]

A myth that you people keep spewing so that Floyd's accomplishment seems better than it actually is.

Was Floyd not prime when he fought Judah? Was Floyd not prime when he KO'ed ricky? Was Floyd not priem when he fought Oscar Dela Hoya?

Stop making a fact out of a myth in order to make Floyd greater than one would consider.

Not a myth...Floyd may have still been physically "in his prime" at WW...however it's probably not his ideal weight class

I would favor Paul Williams against Hearns to be honest.

Wow man, that would be a war I never even thought about.

Hard for me to pick. Hearns was a freak in the opening rounds.

Yeah, but Williams was actually bigger and had better stamina.

[McNulty]

Yeah, but Williams was actually bigger and had better stamina.

Slightly bigger, sure. But Hearns had power in both hands and could knock you out in one punch, Williams didn't. Massive Paul Williams fan so take that as real talk.

Dream match-up for sure.

Paul had a chin and he was not scared to let his hands go. My biggest dream match up at 147 is Hearns vs Tito but I actually think Paul would have a better chance.

Well Floyd is better than Paul Williams so.........

2 words Carlos Quintana

Yep. Anyone that could get outboxed by him isn't coming close to beating Floyd.

[djtmal]

Yep. Anyone that could get outboxed by him isn't coming close to beating Floyd.

so why was there not a fight...this isn't two guys from different eras...these are guys from the same era and the same division, both were pretty prime

[uppercut510]

U guys are delusional williams would trouble him but thats about it, throwing wild punches all fight isnt enough.

[FinitoxDinamita]

There is massive size/reach difference but Paul Williams isnt somebody who utilized his range. He fought like a small man, hunched forward on the inside. His defense was below average as he left himself wide open for counters. He was a big target.

Floyd would have outboxed him. He would have danced circles around the bigger guy.
