I agree with the poster who would make Floyd a 60/40 favorite, although I might amend that to 55/45 or somewhere inbetween.

Williams would two built-in advantages for getting a decision: 1) far more punches thrown and 2) far more aggression.

Now, of course the question is whether he could on Floyd without getting tagged to death, and I think he could. If Williams will focus on his jab and keep some distance, which he did at times very effectively against Margarito, he can put Floyd in great difficulty.

While Floyd is moving backward and generally being elusive, Williams can flick a light but fairly quick jab without putting himself in range for counters. Williams begins to stagger and flail when he throws his left, but sticking with the jab, he's OK. For Floyd to slip and counter all those jabs, he will have travel a much greater distance than usual, putting him at risk to be hit on the way in and on the way out.

And with Williams carrying the action of the fight, Floyd will have to take some chances to land decent punches and to win the rounds. This makes him an easier target for Williams, who we know will never stop throwing.

I think the key is that Williams' defining attributes -- continuous, volume, long punching -- are major assets against Mayweather, where they'd be a huge weakness against Cotto. Floyd excels fighting guys who need to size up their shots, which includes even aggressive fighters like Baldomir.

By contrast, Williams is not discouraged by contact, and he doesn't seem to care from what angles he throws, only that he keeps throwing. Counterpunchers like Floyd thrive against guys they can time, and Williams is such an octopus that Mayweather will not be able to pose, feint or hide behind his shoulder to size him up. Paul will be there throughout the fight to be hit, yes, but he'll be bringing so much heat that Floyd will have to fight a more frantic, spontaneous -- and thus more high-contact -- bout than he prefers.

Now, a slow fighter (e.g., Margarito) is going to get tagged by Floyd with impunity, simply because Floyd is a model of conditioning and will just keep poping the guy until he slows down. But Williams has at least pretty good speed, and his extraordinary reach makes him functionally faster, simply because Floyd will require great time to travel space in order to land and evade.

I still favor Floyd because Paul hasn't convinced me that he'll fight at range, instead lunging in with those long punches, thus making Floyd's job a lot easier.

But this would be a hell of a fascinating fight, and in my mind a superior challenge to Mosley and right up there with Cotto.

 

now it's easy: Williams would be beaten.

 

Think it's easier than Quintana, though? I mean, it seemed that part of PW's problem in the fight was that he was facing a fellow southpaw. No doubt, Quintana's movement and accuracy were factors, but those lefts were coming in at different angles than what Williams was used to.

Not saying that PBF doesn't win, I just wonder if Williams gives a reasonable account of himself in the fight, like he did against El Indio.

 

Paul "the most feared" Williams is now Paul "lead with your face" Williams.
He is no longer a big money ticket.

 

Floyd doesn't need to hit too much Paul's face with the jab. Floyd will score some points by making him miss and going to the body, maybe a couple of jabs and then the fight will be over. Floyd wins.
