P-Dub could still make 147 IMO, hard for him to get a fight there mind. At either weight he'd batter Brook into oblivion.
I think its just Williams saying that he can make 147 so that people get this allusion he's being ducked by Manny and Floyd (Think of it this way, I know im exaggerating, but if someone like Marco Huck or Steve Cunningham said they could make super middle, nobody would fight them!) - but when push comes to shove he'd never make it. If he did however, I'd pick him to win. He's too big and his punch output and size would be a task for any welter to stop. However, If he did make welter, theres a good chance he'd be so drained if he even tried unloading all his shots he'd be dead and gassedbefore the 6th.
See, this is the thinking I find odd. What had he done to suggest he'd beat a seasoned operator like Mayweather? There's no one on his record even in the same ballpark. The crafty fighters made him look awful (Martinez and Quintana). The guy is a complete hype-job - he actually benefited from people not wanting to fight him. It gave the impression he was actually a genuine threat.
Brook will only get matched against an opponent who is either a) shot b) old or c) weight-drained. Ideally it would be all three but with Williams well, 2 out of 3 will have to do. Looks Eddie is taking a leaf or two out ol' Fwanks book of fight-fixing.......
Id say malignaggi first a world operator but not elite. He has a verygood chance against williams imo who is very open and we all know brook can throw a decent shot (how decent we have yet to see).
