    I doubt Willams vs. Mayweather would depend ony any improvement on the Punisher's part. I doubt Williams is going to be adding any "skills" to his arsenal.

    The man throws more punches than any welterweight. He does not generate outstanding power in any single punch but he does VARY the power that he has. That's something that I don't think any other welterweight has truly mastered aside from Mayweather and maybe Cotto (but Cotto seems to throw the same intensity all night, so I'm not so sure of him).

    Williams probably won't imporve his defense any more than what it is now, which is to remain tall and move at angles. Even when he holds, he is able to loop some incredibly strange uppercuts so it's not as defensive as it seems. His habit of turning with punches saved him enough against Margarito, but as he ages it will become a liability instead of an asset.

    He is tall, active and variable; no matter what we may conceive in our heads as a "polished" fighter, that is what he is right now. He utilizes all of the strengths of his frame, while minimizing the weaknesses.

    Having said all that, I think Mayweather knows how to deal with height; he absolutely thrashed Corrales who was of similar dimensions (Williams appears to have a better beard and less relative power). The problem will be that jab, which Mayweather has shown he will eat all night as long as he gets counters off of the other punches thrown, and there would be plenty of that from Williams. Honestly, I'd be backing Williams 100% in that fight, but I'd still call him a 60/40 or 65/35 underdog.

    Dude, you know you can't go by these things. Cuz Williams beat Margo who beat Cintron if you wanna make those kind of comparisons. Styles make fights and Williams style presents major problems for anybody in the WW division.

    nobody is talking about winning fights.

    what I'm saying is that if Walter's power was enough to hurt williams that Cintron who is a heavier puncher will be able to hurt williams.

    To beat Floyd, Williams would need to throws an inhuman number of punches.
    Williams could win a one round fight against any WW (simply through throwing an almost imperable wall of punches with his long arms) but over 12 rounds there are a couple who would beat him.

    I like Floyd, he is a great boxer. This match-up is all wrong for him. If I was his manager I wouldn't even think about this fight. Williams is 5-6 inches taller than Floyd, with an arm length advantage that would be ridiculous. Paul's reach is 82". We are talking about a 10 inch reach advantage on top of that half of a foot height advantage. That, and given the style of Williams and Mayweather, I just don't see how Mayweather could be very effective against him.

    He wouldn't be open for all sorts of counters, because he height and reach would leave him out of range after his punches anyways. Let alone, Williams himself moves very well, takes a good punch, and has very good handspeed.

    mayweather reach is 72', 1 inch shorter then margo's. PW falls over and into his punches, he has horrible balance b/c of his lankiness. he does not use his height well at all so he would be open to counters. He has horrible foot work and his hand speed ain't **** if slow ass Margo is blocking his shots. he missed 900 punches or some dunb **** like that agaisnt margo for christ sakes and all of a sudden he is gonna be able to break down the best defensive fighter in the world.

    It will take more then just activity to beat PBF, you need timing, power and defense ala Vernon Forrest when he beat Shane mosley. I really think that is the blue print.

    One of the trainers at Wildcard has always told me, that the man who will be able to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr is going to have to be a volume puncher and a south paw, Perhaps he seen something in Paul a while ago especially when you consider that same man was working in Pauls corner that night, "IRISH" Macka Foley.
