About pressure and Floyd...

Williams would probably beat Floyd right now. Floyd most likely can't hurt him, and he's one of the few opponents Floyd would not be able to outbox with his massive reach, height, and sheer volume of punches. PBF would be forced to fight on the inside with Williams, and as long as Williams kept up his activity there and his chin held up(which is probable) Floyd wouldn't be getting the better of him there either. However, the fight will never happen, too high a risk for low reward as you said. And it doesn't mean that Williams is a better fighter, just an awful style matchup.

Pressure can also beat Floyd. Since he doesn't put punches together at Welter due his lack of power and the flipside for his opposition, a high volume pressure fighter with some speed and defense that doesn't let Floyd get off first can beat him. Hatton lacks the speed and defense though, imo.

 

Very good observation:good

 

You don't know what you're talking about. Oscar has an excellent jab and has excellent handspeed as well how many Oscar fights have you seen? Castillo on the other hand has a much better jab that Hatton, whcih he used to get inside with. A prime Castillo's outside fight game was much better than Ricky's.
Let me educate you further if you look at the southpaws that PBF has faced they have succes hitting him with straight punches look at the Corley fight look at the Zab fight they all landed flush on him and drop or hurt him. Even Roger says southpaws his weekness. If you look very closly at the Zab-PBF fight you will see that Zab almost had what it took to beat PBF, southpaw with pop and good speed. He had no problems finding him early and countering him but he lacked the mental toughness to pull it off. If you have a guy who's a lanky southpaw with a good jab, defense, good pop, stamina and footwork he would be able to have great success against PBF and that's the combo to beat him with not only pressure as you seem to think.

 

Yes Paul Williams could do it but he throws too many unneccessary punches that could be countered against PBF. If he threw a little less and tried to sit on more of his punches he's be a lot more effective. He laso needs to work more on his defense but if he improves he could be the one.

 

I've made a thread about pressure and Floyd.

 

Pressure will work on Floyd. Unfortunately, Hatton won't be able to apply any unless he can do it from his back -fullstop-

 

Um...Castillo won their first fight dude. Anyone who has seen the fight knows Castillo won.

 

Speak for your dumb ass self. Anyone..lol not the judges...not a whole lot of people. Fights are scored in rounds. Castillo won 4 clear. Floyd won 5 clear the rest could go either way..get a ****ing grip. Just b/c you go by ledermans card which is all ****ed up.

 

Just call me tooprettadamus....lol. I love finding these old threads to expose the clowns.
