Prime Floyd Mayweather vs Prime Paul Williams at 147

[Lopez_Boxing]

hand injury? c'mon man. if that was the case, most of these guys would be no good before they hit 25

Some are more severe than others. His hand injury changed his entire way of fighting. Knockout ratio went down punch out out etc.

Lara toyed with Williams for 12 rounds. Now all of a sudden he is GOAT?

No version of Paul Williams would beat Floyd Mayweather

He's not on Floyd's level

His reach advantage is irrelevant because he did not even fight tall. He was an inside fighter, and not one that would bother Floyd.

If you think Hearns destroys Floyd, then you have to favor Williams in a potential match up.

Prime Williams murks Lara and the whole 154 division. Easy work.

He beats Pac, Floyd, Prime Tito, Duran from 147 to 154, Cotto, Mosley, and maybe Oscar. That is an ATG if you ask me. He was also the most ducked fighter in his prime. If Crawford and Spence are receiving all this praise, I have no doubt that prime Williams wouldn't receive the same.

Yeah, forget ATG he would be probably the best fighter ever honestly if he had all those wins. Too bad he didn't. I cannot fathom what makes you think he was good enough to beat all those guys. I really don't see it at all.

He was a good fighter who had a respectable run of career accomplishments, but he's no ATG.

If you think Crawford and Spence are great you have to consider Williams to be great also. The most ducked fighter in his era.

yeah man...too bad floyd had to go on vacation after hatton, and his hands was hurtin', or else he would have whooped williams ass...lol

why didn't manny,Mosley, or cotto fight Paul. Floyd was retired. what's their excuse?

Yeah, people forget that Mosley, Cotto, and Pac ducked him too.

martinez iced him
Quintana outboxed him
Lara dominated him
he barely beat margarito

Williams does present problems for Floyd, but to say he is some atg, with no wins against elite guys. but losses against less than elite guys on his resume is crazy.

Williams towering over Floyd throwing 100 punches per round was something he wanted no part of. Williams wasn't some flat-footed brawler that Floyd feasted on most of his career. I have Williams by UD or SD victory.

This is why Floyd is the highest earning boxer ever by miles. His haters simply low intelligent individuals who don't know boxing and judge him with their heart and not their head. Lol at favoring Paul Williams to beat Floyd because he was tall and threw a lot of punches. His defense was subpar and he didn't fight utilizing his height/reach advantages. He didn't have a jab and basically just followed his opponents around the ring winging arm punches. He had little to no shot against Floyd. You people can't be serious.
