The Peter that showed up against Vitali was in putrid shape so he wouldn't be able to KO Williams with all that weight around his waist; he loses a lopsided decision. The Wlad version, however, has a better shot at doing the trick

 

As long as Williams did not get too careless and blasted out ala the Weaver and Morrison fights he could take Peter. Peter has really regressed in the last few years from what people thought he could be.

Williams UD

 

Peter just seemed to fall out of love with boxing. The 2008 version had little to offer. I always heard Peter never wanted to train hard. Tommy Brooks had him and left him for his refusal to work hard. He had fast hands and what seemed to be a good chin when he as in shape, but he really started looking bad in 2008, Id pick Williams to easily outbox that version of Peter. The 2004 version would probably knock Williams out.

 

Carl would need to use his mobility and jab. Style-wise he should be able to outpoint Peter. Williams also had the power to hurt Peter. The first three rounds would be key.

One more thing - Williams was a much SMARTER fighter.

 

Peter wins.
William couldnt break an egg.
No chin either.

 

Williams had a chin, had a decent knockout ratio and did well in the upper ranks of the sport.

Peter, beyond being a good candidate as a Playtex spokesman, demonstrated a two-diemnsional approach to his role and challengers. When he wasn't showing up fat, listless and ineffective, he was picking himself up off the canvas with oversized non-punchers or quitting on his stool.

Now of course, I have made things out to be worse than they actually are with Fatty-Patatty, but you seem to have missed the boat on "The Truth", a fighter that gave his all and tried his best.

I wasn't too far off on the whole Playtex-thing though.
