Floyd vs. Paul Williams at 147 lbs. who wins?

Tough fight stylistically, but as already said, in the end...


Floyd easy.

 

I think Floyd would find a way to win. But NO ****IN WAY would he win EASILY. You nuthuggerss need to buy a clue...

 

get a life hating ass *****:thumbsup

 

WHy aren't you staying ON TOPIC YOU MORON!!! :rofl

Get an education you ignorant excuse for a black person.

 

sure thing casper

 

Honestly, Williams is the WORST matchup for Floyd of any of the top WWs.

This is the ONLY fight at that class I cannot see Floyd winning in any way shape or form. Stylistically and physically this is a HUGE mismatch.

 

****, some of these Floyd fans are stupid as ****. Ok it's fair to say Floyd would find a way to win but by KO? or UD EASILY? atsch

Williams is 6'1" and comes into fights at 162 pounds for crying out loud and throws well over 100 punches around..I think he threw like 124 in the 12th round against Margarito. Combine that with the height and reach he has = trouble for Mayweather.

 

I think Williams beats Mayweather. I've always felt that despite his flaws, that he's a nightmare matchup for Floyd.

I think Cotto is the 2nd toughest matchup for Mayweather.

 

Two posts and NONE on the topic..

****in racist little hypocrite...:rofl

 

Floyd's never had trouble with tall fighters before (e.g. Corrales and N'Dou, both were aggravated assaults)... Granted they were not as tall as Williams, but still very tall nonetheless...

The stylistic challenge for Mayweather is the tall fighter throwing such a high number of punches... Which people seem to think will NOT drop against a defensive genious such as Mayweather, who will counter a number of punches. And we all know that once you start getting countered (badly), you don't really feel like throwing those punches no more...

No way Williams throws as much punches against Floyd as he did against Margo... Just NO way.

But when I say "easy", it's "easy" in the sense that the Dela Hoya fight was "easy" for Floyd... Still close, don't get me wrong, but Floyd didn't look like he left second gear all night.

Doing that, makes it "easy"...

 

Place your prediction then ****head

 

Williams - 6'1 reach 82"
Corrales - 5'10 reach 70"
N'Dou - 5'10 reach 75"

Sorry to say bro...but it isnt so much the height advantage as it is the reach....he is a foot longer than Corrales and 7" longer than N'Dou...thats not even close bro. Williams is a HUGE WW...you cant compare the three.

Not really...the stylistic matchup for Mayweather would be dealing with not only the volume of punches Williams throws...but the sheer length of his arms. With his output and reach, he could realistically keep Floyd at the end of his jab all night long....much the way he did to Margo.

Add in the fact that he has a very good, very fast...LONG jab, something that Oscar and other fighters have used well against Floyd...it just adds to how bad of a matchup this truely is.

With a volume puncher such as Williams, it isnt always about landing, but more about continuously throwing. If Floyd is in constant defensive mode (with Williams almost certainly throwing much more than Floyd, who himself will never be confused with Kassim Ouma output wise... ), then it plays directly into Williams strengths.

And again, if you look at how ridiculous the reach advantage would be (82" - 72"), Floyd would have a very hard time countering anything.

Not really, Margo countered Williams with some HARD shots and he kept throwing. Floyd doesnt hit nearly as hard as Antonio...I doubt the counters that he does land (as I explained earlier...he would have ALOT of trouble doing so) would have much of a disheartening effect on Williams output.

That is a ridiculous statement. Think about it. Margo is a much, MUCH busier fighter than Floyd, he also hits harder (and no I DO NOT THINK Margo could beat Mayweather...so lets leave that alone...)...so if Williams could get off 1000+ vs him, he could just as easily get off 1000+ vs Floyd. There is NOTHING that would make anyone think differently, other than bias.

Oscar and Williams are night and day in terms of styles. Oscar is a plodding, accurate puncher...he basically comes right at you. He has also slowed considerably over the years.

Williams on the other hand is slower than Mayweather, but not by nearly as much as Oscar is (not much at all actually). He is also busier...Stronger...Longer.

Floyd could NOT win this fight. I believe Mayweather can beat Cotto (pretty easily actually), will beat Hatton (again easily), would SCHOOL Cintron, would box circles around Margo and COULD win a close fight with Mosely (tho I think Shane also has some matchup advantages in this one also...)....but vs Williams, I would pick Paul 10 out of 10 times.

Again...he CANNOT win. Which is why this fight will never happen. Floyd might act like a jackass outside of the ring, but he is no dummy.

 

Even if PBF wins, I think he will really look bad in this fight people might even start thinking he is shot.

 

**** me, make it hard, why don't ya?

First of all, I said Williams was bigger and taller. Just mentioning that Floyd actually has so far enjoyed fighter taller fighters (ala Corrales and N'Dou). The height and reach wouldn't be as much of a problem as people tend to think. Floyd has such quick reflexes, it's not as if he wouldn't be getting in and tagging Williams all night.

Secondly, I wasn't comparing Dela Hoya to Williams AT ALL... And I don't even know where you got that idea from... I mentioned that in the end, Floyd wins an "easy" UD. I was just explaining further that when I say "easy", I mean "easy" in the sense that he won the Dela Hoya fight "easy"... Now most people will agree that the Dela Hoya fight was close, but if you look at Mayweather, never once does he seem like he's going full throttle (hence why I said he looked like he never left second gear)...

That's how I think he'd do Williams, even if the score was 115-113...

Furthermore, power is not what makes counter punches effective and stop your opponents from throwing those same punches (it's merely part of the equation). Floyd is TEN times the counter puncher of Margo, and has TEN times the ability to make Williams question about throwing a punch or not. So yes, I agree with myself when I say Williams would not throw as much punches against Floyd as against Margo.

Every time he throws, he gets "stung" right on the button... Floyd's sharp, and quick, and accurate... That's a REAL counter pucnher.

Finally, no way Floyd fights Williams defensively all night. He very rarely fights defensively all night.
