At the point in time that they were supposed to fight, Paul was mentally past it. The Martinez KO took away alot of his fire. He looked **** against Lara & Ishida. All the further proof you need - there's a reason GB picked Paul for the fight...
Look at the list of fighters GB was trying to set their cash cow Alvarez up with for a non-ppv fight:
Paul Williams - KO'd by Martinez, looks poor against Ishida & Lara
James Kirkland - torn shoulder against Molina, not expected to 'fully' recover til winter
Victor Ortiz - smaller man, just KO'd by Mayweather
Jose Lopez - a midlevel JWW

During the time when that fight was going to happen I believe Canelo was to green and his stamina wouldn't have been able to keep up with Williams 100 punch out put per round.Than Floyd would have made 1000 excuse in not fighting Williams

His comeback from Martinez KO. He was just a shell of the guy who destroyed Winky Wright.

Pwill was coming off a gift decision against Lara that was clearly a loss. He didn't look like the same guy. Now Canelo was only 22 at the time so that inexperience could have played a factor but I think Canelo would have prevailed.
Still sad thinking about what happened to Pwill. He was the most avoided guy between 147-154 with good reason.

Paul was past it at this point, he didn't have the fire anymore. His punches weren't as damaging to his opponents and he was taking more hits in return. Like I said before, GB picked PWilly to fight Alvarez for a reason. They weren't going to risk Alvarez losing.
