    Great. He still never beat them though did he? Or did he retire in 2007 after saying “I’m not trying to fight no welterweights”.? Floyd’s words not mine.

        Am I the only person who thought that had he and Mayweather fought he would have won?

        He also would have beaten Pacquiao easily
        You're the only one who wholeheartedly thinks that... The rest are just Mayhaters...

        Mayweather would murder PWill ala Maravilla...

          if Quintana can box Paul Williams ears off then Floyd would massacre him

          Paul threw a lot of punches but he was technically horrible. feet all over the place, used to step on his own shoes and off balance.

          Floyd woulda mopped him

            I was gonna make a new thread about this but decided to search first. I think Paul would've been a stylistic nightmare for Floyd. Naysayers will always point out Paul's worst fights but those were against bigger fighters and all southpaws. Floyd would've had a hell of a time trying to slow Paul down and he didn't have the power to hurt him.

              Well, beating floyd has been done, but whether you get the decision or robbed is another topic altogether.
              Who really thinks Floyd's unbeaten? Marciano is unbeaten, as is calzaghe and ottke even. I guess some think Hopkins beat Calzaghe, but at least Calzaghe was in Hopkins backyard.

                Of course Paul Williams had a shot at getting a decision on Mayweather. That's why Mayweather fake retired for two years after Hatton because Williams Margarito prime Cotto, etc was up next. All those guys especially Margarito and Williams, were better than average prime fighters who wouldn't be fazed by Floyds punch and could hit him back. Floyd don't want that.

                  i still feel bad about the punisher i mean motor bikes at speed can be so dangerous over taking and a car moves out i think thats what happened in this case and he took evasive action and ended up off road and off bike i read somewhere a witness said he was folded like a deck chair on landing

                      I’d pick Alvarez
