    Williams is making Martinez move up to 160 and we still think he can make 147?? This guy is hugely overrated as a 147 fighter where I think keeping the weight off was really affecting him.

    Mosley I give a 25% chance.

    PBF is now a 50/50 for me, though I would have confidently picked Mayweather before last nghts fight.

    williams fought at 147 in august of 2008--a hear and 3 months ago for the$millions he'd get i suspect he could still make 147...and he ould beat pac---he's probably 6'2" - ^'3" not the 6"1" they lsit him at and his much publized reach i longer than the klitchko---I know, I know, Quintana got inside that reach....but that was a while ago and PW annihilated him next time out and has matured A TON since then. Williams at 147 is a freak who beats PAC or PBF

    If you dont say it i will.

    These guys would beat pac. Mosley has to least chance because due to his age.

    Paul can make 147. Period.


    The notion that he can't is just something put out there by people who don't want to see him against their favorite fighter. He can make the weight easily if he is given reasonable time. And he can do it comfortably.

    The Mayweather fight has got to happen due to demand and purse. Have no idea who would win, but if I had to pick it would be Paq just on past performance based on Mayweather being pretty inactive and his level of competition has not been that great lately. I don't think he's as hungry as Paq either.

    Floyd-pac is 50/50. I'm not even going to consider williams. Shane's defense is just as bad as cotto's, at least cotto keeps his hands up. Shane doesn't get stopped but he'd get hit to much to take a decision.

    PW maybe because I dont think Pac can jump that high.
    After the Cotto fight. I think Mosley looses. Floyd. Only if he is true to his cowardess ways and runs all night.

    BUt Pac doesnt have to fight ANYONE at 147.
    And WHY should HE? He can fight at 140. make everyone come to him.

    Paul Williams is overrated. His fluidity and speed aren't that great. Pac could upset him giving the huge physical disparities. I think Floyd could beat PW too. At this point, PW may be avoided but that doesn't give him anyway to be the deserving King of 147 just because nobody risks fighting him. He did lose, although bounced with vengeance. I think Floyd and Pac would be too smart and find some weakness/exploit. Especially with Roach devising a plan for Pac.
