    Floyd is good, but damn, be at least a little objective.

    Did you see Williams against Verno Phillips?

    He wasn't using his height as he was fighting on the inside, he was hittable, and he just didn't look fluid at all, nor did he appear nearly as powerful as he's been advertised since his demolition of Quintana.

    On the postive side though, he went to Verno's body which wore him down, doubled and trippled up his jab, which is difficult for a southpaw, and showed a great deal of resolve considering his headbutt.

    But damn, he still has a long way to go. Either way, he would be difficult for Floyd, but it is very possible as TFFP said, that Floyd would put on a Quintana 1 type performance.

    hmm it may cause for floyd to do something he has proven to be able to do and thats ADJUST.at the end of the day i dont see mayweather losing a fight a because the guy was south paw, or fast or stong or what ever attribute you want to give a fighter.mayweather will adjust in any sisuation, pressure is not it.

    there are multiple things you would have to and not let floyd do.lucky punch that puts his lights out or just another brilliant boxer.

    Did Mayweather adjust, or did Judah just go belly up in that fight? People commonly say both things.

    i wish Judah would've showed up for Baldomir....he got trashed and ruined the fight hype for his fight with PBF....if Judah would've handled business against Baldomir, he'd have still been champ and probably would've given PBF a better fight....

    Let's just say that Pacquiao will be a tough assignment for Joy Mayweather.

    Maybe wa rocked in the third with a clean punch, he backed off to the ropes and fought back. That knockdown was more like a balance though it should have been counted a knockdown, he wasn't hurt by that punch that knocked him off balance.

    Yes, he beat the **** out of him.

    Phillips is a very durable fighter. He's been fighting big guys his whole career and hasn't been stopped since the 80's. Williams didn't have to use his height. He was there to make a statement, and fighting Phillips on the inside was the best way to do it. I've watched plenty of Williams fights. The guy can fight more than one way.

    I agree

    It's also possible that Floyd would kick the **** out of Pac worse than Marquez would in their first fight(I gave Marquez 8 or 9 rounds) You think Floyd would be knocked down 3 times?
