    I'd be takin' Williams, not only because he was classier imo, but wouldnt he have natural size advantage aswell??

    Nah, no size advantage Teeto, Williams turned pro as a featherweight. It's true that he fought between WW and MW but that was more about where the money was than anything else.

    I'd stiil take him though, really? Ihad the impression that Williams was more of a MW in his prime. Who are you picking McGrain??

    I always feel his best years were 38/39 ish. He weighed in and around 147 at that time. Yeah, I think he wold beat Curis. Be a fascinating 15 rounds though.

    That would be cool. I know JG saw Burley right at the tail end...it's more than possible that he could have caught Williams too!
