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

Paul was a big tall long active welterweight before ging up to 154 160. He was a handful to deal with. It would have been a competitive match. No one wanted to fight Williams at 147 especially after he beat Margarito

I favored Floyd in the fight, but the reverse question can be: "Why do people think Floyd would've shut out Paul Williams?"

Because this is boxing?
On paper most people would have no reason to think that Ken Norton would be able to mess with Ali(even the older version)
This is why they fight, no human on earth is perfect, so just because one fighter may appear "superior" to another fighter, doesn't mean he can't lose to someone deemed inferior. Grade A boxers lose to lesser competition and this is shown all throughout boxing history. Happened to Sugar Ray Robinson, Louis,Ali, Hearn, Klitskcho, so on and so on.
So sorry if most people think a 6'2 welterweight with great stamina, decent pop and work rate could trouble floyd. Floyd is a great boxer but he isn't Thanos with an infinity gauntlet in the ring, it's possible he can lose, i'd favor him in the match up but if they fought and the next day I found out Floyd lost it wouldn't surprise me. The only person to really just make Paul Williams look bad was a Prime Erislandy Lara.Last edited by WhatDisButtonDo; 09-28-2018, 07:46 AM.

Best wins were Duran and Benitez at 154. I think Floyd was better than either at 154. What Hearns had though was one of the best jabs around, and that reach. He would give Floyd a lot of problems, but Mayweather beat him 8-4 or 7-5.
I think Sugar Ray Leonard is the one that beats Mayweather at 147, because he was just as versatile and bigger.
