    It depends on the weight the fight is at and lets be realistic, it'll be at 147 no doubt.

    I personally don't believe with all the weight bouncing Williams has been doing as of late he can make that weight comfortably without it having an impact. Floyd will be blamed for cherry picking in this instance also (sighng).

    I think Paul is the real deal no doubt but the Quintana fight showed me a lot that Floyd could exploit. Quintana beat Williams by going in between his shots. Floyd is a very underrated body puncher. That said Williams by Vegas prognosticators would have the nod based merely on size but not by much.

    Thats one big if.

    We all know that fraud will never fight Williams,he only cameback to fight two smaller guys in JMM and Pac and he will retire again.

    Pointless question. Floyd won't go near Williams, not ever.

    There is absolutely no one in their right mind who would accuse Floyd of cherry picking if he fought Williams.

    This would be the first time in Floyd's career that he would enter the ring as an underdog.

    If Carlos Quintana can pull it off somehow, Floyd would find a way too.

    for the record i can't see floyd winning this match-up at any weight

    he obviously stands the best chance at 147 though

    If the dumb ass sportsbook made Floyd a underdog that would get cleaned up. Floyd always finds a way to win, and he'll do it again. I would say PBF -150 Williams +120

    PBF would be the underdog at 154 and Williams is the only fighter in the world from 154 and down that PBF would be the underdog against.
