    Not me, Williams looks unpolished and untidy! I dont think it would be a good fight at all! I'm starting to think he is just a very awkward/clumsy boxer!

    Plus the stadium was very empty I dont think Mayweather considers this fight, it's a shame I was hoping it would be a great fight and there would be calls for this fight certainly if Pacquiao fight doesnt happen!

    What are your thoughts?

    I don't think it would be a very bad fight, but Mayweather vs anyone at 147 except Pacquiao is gonna be one-sided.

    William has size and reach. Sure, give him a shot at Mayweather. 154 would be better though.

    If Williams throws 100 punches per round then it becomes interesting. If he tries to awkwardly box like he did last night, it becomes a one sided slaughter!

    :good

    PBF isn't going to fight him with a potential pacquiao match on the table.
     
  8. I'd rather see Williams fight Pacquiao. The size disparity in the ring would be comical, but I still think Pacquiao beats him if he can reach his chin.

    :good, pacquiao's style "works better" with PW's style.

    Sometimes it takes a fight like this to help people realize what it really is. Williams is sloppy and really has mediocre boxing skill. All he has going for him is his length and stamina. It wouldn't necessarily be the easiest fight for Mayweather but its not a fight I think Paul could win.

    Williams would absolutely totally destroy floyd. but floyd will never ever sign the contract until Paul is 35 or older.

    Nothing that occurred last night has impacted my previously held conviction that Mayweather beats Williams and does so easily. Indeed, had Williams recorded a 2nd KO it wouldn't have influenced my feeling that Floyd's simply on another level.

    Pacquiao vs. Williams would be a lot more exciting and a fight I'd give Williams a much better chance at winning.
