Floyd vs. Williams

Floyd has very good stamina but keep in mind how he fights and how that won't work very well against PWill: he favors efficiency over output and at that pace he never tires. However, against such a freakishly tall fighter with such long reach AND crazy workrate he'll either get outworked or be forced to up his workrate. From the outside he'll have to jump in alot more to land shots but he'll also have to jump back out like NBA said and he'll be pelted with shots while exiting.

Paul throws in close AND at long range, he's southpaw and has enough reach where he can throw from a safe distance and Floyd will shoulder roll and pick shots off all he wants, but to score he's gonna have to dive into the gloved blades of that freakish propeller. Either way it's like dodging rain...you WILL get wet no matter how much you juke and jive.

Paul has an excellent chance of beating Floyd....terrible matchup for Floyd. If he wins it'll still be very close and pride might make Floyd rematch him for redemption like he did Castillo. This will be no easier for Floyd than Hearns was for Leonard except replace hearns' crushing right hand and superior pure boxing acumen with insane workrate, southpaw stance, and crazy angled punches. Add to that the fact that Floyd doesn't have the pop to get breathing room very long or pull out a win should he fall behind. And Leonard has to stage his comeback in the 15 rounder days.

 

Haven't any of you learned yet? If you make a potential fight involving floyd, you're going to have to listen to 10 guys suck his dick and tell you how easily he wins.

 

Carlos Quintana and Mayweather are about the same size and reach and Quintana never had to do anything like you describe.

If Williams fought tall you'd have a case, but he doesnt, he leans in, doesnt use his reach and tries to brawl rather then box.

Williams workrate will mean little, just more opportunities to counter just like Quintana and MArtinez were able to, two fighters not known for their workrates.

Most of Paul Williams shots come from touching distance. He doesnt box, he doesnt use the jab, he attempts to overwhelm his opponents, something that has never happened to Floyd and something that did not help Williams against 2 fighters not of Mayweathers class in Quintana and Martinez.

 

Williams is way too loose with his punches. Mayweather picks holes in him for the whole fight.

Mayweather UD.

 

This. Stand up. Punch down on the smaller man. You automatically tuck your chin because you are looking down. Lean in, your chin is lifted. I'd have to think that "man up on dem punches" puts him in a proper stance. Like I said earlier, Martinez drew him out and May would do the same.

 

Bingo.

Floyd boxes the hell out of Williams in a one-sided affair. Williams had shown that he can be counterpunched, tagged with lead shots, he leans in with his punches and gives up his height and pushes punches for volume rather than accuracy. All of this spells disaster for him and if that fight ever happens at any weight, I'll be betting heavily on Floyd in the hopes that the oddsmakers would wrongly buy into Williams' size and overlook the fact that skills, not the tale of tape, wins boxing matches.

 

Well said.

 

High volume punching would hurt Williams, not help him. He'd get countered to hell and back. Furthermore, Williams does not effectively use his size.

 

Floyd doesn't fade down the stretch and has historically performed best in the late rounds after having figured his opponent straight out.

 

Such an ignorant post.

 

SUDDENLY Mayweather is winning polls against Williams. :rofl:rofl

Hilarious ****.

 

1. Williams doesn't know how to use his size.

2. Floyd won't have to do any jumping. Williams leans in with his shots and would be in range for counters the way he has been his entire career.

3. Williams throws for the sake of throwing half the time. Never intelligent pressure. Just pressure, pressure, and more pressure... and when he's in with anyone with counterpunching ability, counter, counter, and more counters come back.

4. The only thing Williams has in common with Hearns is size. That is where it ends. Hearns would be hell for Floyd. Williams would not.

 

best post on here.....

 

Just bringing reason to the masses, my man.

 

Your an ignorant person!!!

You should try to debate rather than criticize!
