Why do people think Paul Williams had ANY chance against Floyd?

[j.razor]

Paul Williams had 27 knock outs...and never put skills, ring generalship and Maidaina in the same sentence. Like earings on a pig, they just don't go together.

Williams beat Sharmba Mitchell, Antonio Margarito, Carlos Quintana, Verno Phillips, Ronald (Winky) Wright, Sergio Martinez, Kermit Cintron, Erislandy Lara.

Sharmba was done, margarito is a punching bag, struggled with Quintana, Ronald was done, Martinez dropped Paul, the Lara fight was close & good & as for Kermit cintron & verno phillips not so nice try....lol

They?...who's they? I think you mean Floyd thought Margarito had a very good chance. Margarito confronted Floyd, it's on Video, I recommend that you watch it. Floyd wasn't as confident as you seem to be.

Your just like hbo with the stories & look where that got them....LMMFAO!!

Lets not forget, Williams easily blasted out Quintana in the rematch. Quintana was an exceptional boxer but he was fragile.

Funny cuz you wouldn't DARE say that about Floyd & any rematches he had....LMMFAO! You getting exposed like hbo….LMMFAO!!

Williams was my guy when he was active, liked his game. He might have given Mayweather some problems, but I don't see him being all that dangerous to Floyd. He'd win some rounds for sure though. Remember, Mayweather was great in the pocket and inside, I think he is able to slip inside easily and win the fight there.

Williams never made the name to warrant that big of a fight, it's a shame because he had a good style to give a lot of fighters problems. But Quintana schooled him in fight 1, there is nothing Quintana does that Floyd doesn't do a lot better.

I think Floyd wins 8-4 or 9-3.

As for Margarita? Floyd fought the exact fighter that Margarita was in his prime, Carlos Baldomir. MArgarito vs Floyd looks exactly like Carlos Baldmoir vs Floyd. Two plodding come forward fighters that have no chance to do anything vs Floyd.

He was tall, rangy, excellent boxing skills. Threw 100 punches per round, a solid pressure fighter. He also beat three of the fighters Floyd ducked—Margarito, Winky and Martinez.

Excellent boxing skills?? Did you just say that?

Then what about the first Marcos Maidana fight? In that contest, Marcos had Floyd pinned on the ropes for much of the nightight and was out punching him. The fight was so close than many fans were demanding an immediate rematch because in the eyes of lot of fight them Floyd lost the fight. May won that first bout fight largely due to his clean punching and higher percentages of jabs and power punching.

The fight was NOT close. Fans wanted a rematch cuz Cheno was fighting dirty & the fans liked to see that done to Floyd. T.B.E. weathered all storms.

^^^ one tall guy that would of beaten floyd is tommy hearns.

I highly doubt that. I can see only about 5 good fighters on Tommy's resume....just sayin'

Williams had size, height and reach and could throw 100+ punches for 12 rounds. He definitely would have been a problem for Floyd.

Maybe for 4 rounds....LOL

[Johnny2x2x]

Excellent boxing skills?? Did you just say that?

Yeah, he had anything but excellent boxing skills, but he could definitely be a problem for a lot of fighters.

I think people saw what Vernon Forest did to a prime Shane Mosely when he was #1 P4P and think that's what Paul Williams would do to Mayweather. It's not even a reasonable comparison.

[j.razor]

it just would have been interesting to see floyd fight a fighter that he didnt have all the advantages over and would throw no matter what.

Floyd's skill was the only advantage he ever needed cuz other fighters were bigger, stronger, threw more punches (when he became Money May) a few that was just as fast, some had more experience, I mean it goes on....LOL
