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

your avatars are the best.

 

Fab is the KING of avatars...:good

 

Excellent post. I would pick Williams. A stylistic nightmare for Mayweather, who hasn't excelled vs southpaws in the past (Judah and Corley in particular), and will struggle to counter punch from the outside against a Taller guy. The difference (for KO BOXING) is that Corrales and Ndou didn't use their height, and wanted to fight on the inside, where as williams will fight from range, and being a southpaw will be much more difficult to counter. Due to the phenomanel amount of punches he throws it will be VERY difficult to win a decision. Williams UD.

 

Floyd is an ESTABLISHED all time great,...Williams is a contender to being an elite fighter.

WIlliams has great physical assetts and youth..

Floyd is too good for this guy, even with the size and physical disadvantages.

floyd wins this one in yet another stinking fight.

Floyd Mayweather is this era's Pernell Whitaker just like Sam Peter is to David Tua.

 

38 have tried... 38 have failed :deal

(Technically 37, but you know)

 

How do you see floyd winning?

 

I don't think people are comparing the greatness of the two. Just that stylistically, Williams is one of the guys in and around Mayweather's weight division that poses the biggest threat.

I mean, in another thread, you have a number of guys saying Cintron beats Williams. Or Williams by Close UD... And Mayweather is head and toes above Cintron

 

Sure while names like SSM, Cotto, and Williams arent on there:good

Floyd wants a lasting legacy?? He'll clean out 47 and take away the speculation.

For that matter, many ATG's who fought at 40 and 47 have made noise at middleweight as well.

 

Greatness and ability are 2 very different things. In beating Marg he proved to be a real force in the division. You don't have to be an ATG to beat one. Just a talented fighter with the right style and the right game plan. Look at Vince Phillips v Kostya Tszyu or Douglas vs Tyson for example.

 

What about Spadafora? We all know how badly he scared Mayweather from a fight, despite Mayweather fighting Corrales and Castillo TWICE in between.

How many of those ATG's started at 130, by the way?

The closest I can think of is Duran, who started at 135, and is a top 10 atg.

I agree about SSM... That's a name I'd love to see on Floyd's resume (or Cotto, if he beats him, although I have a feeling Mosely comes out on top)

 

I agree.

Just pointing out that it's all about styles. Mayweather would handle Cintron, imo, who loses a close UD to Williams (with a shot of KO), while Williams is a stylistic nightmare for Mayweather.

 

The Spadafora episode WAS AN EXAMPLE of how Floyd has cherry picked and manipulated his way to this point. Think guy's like Duran or Whitaker, would have taken the low road, were they in that situation?? :nono :nono If, Spadafora is to have a fight with PBF?? He has to earn that place again. He had it at 35 and was ever so close to getting his shot, had he NOT:**** it away. Floyd's ridiculous and pathetic handling of that situation is what I exposed, and will stand by.
You can talk the talk, but the facts and timelines SHOW WHAT HAPPENED.

Notice I didnt say Floyd must fight at middleweight?? Though SURELY someone who's better than SRR and SRL could accomplish something, eh?? BTW, DLH started at 130 and tried. Since, PBF fans claim that win over OLD DLH as a super significant avhievement, why cant floyd give it a shot???:huh :huh

The winner of SSM vs Cotto, Paul Williams, and Cintron are all titleholders at 47 and FOR JUST ONCE IN FLOYD"S CAREER?? Proving he is THE MAN in a division without leaving any specualtion IS REQUIRED!! Especially, when he criticizes guy's like RJJ, Hopkins, SRL, etc. and has the audacity to feel he's better than SRR:rofl :rofl :rofl Real ATG's have been the man and fought the top guy's in their respective divisions.

Talk the talk? Walk the WALK!!! You arent the best, greatest, or a lasting legacy UNTIL YOU HAVE:good

 

sort of like spadafors right:deal

 

Good post :good
