    How do you view Williams in comparison to Mosley, Mayweather, and Cotto?

    He has a decent shot at beating all three of those shorties. I think Mosley might be the easiest because of wear and tear.

    I honestly don't see him beating any of those guys.

    Given that he has a chin, he is going to be a right ***** for anyone.

    A 6 ft 1 inch left handed octopus will be nightmare for any and all normal size welterweights that get in the ring with him.

    The only hope we have as fans is some crushing punch smashes off his jaw and k.o's him.....otherwise you are looking at your Welterweight Champ for some years to come.....he will really be a PPV draw :)

    And why would we want that??? I don't mind watching anyone who throws 110 punches a round and is willing to fight anyone.

    Did Margarito really test Williams body? Iv got the fight on Sky+ but havent had time to watch it yet. Williams looks right skinny around the mid-section so i think Cotto could punish that and have Williams hurting by the later rounds, but i find the amazing height, and probably weight, disadvantage Mosley, Cotto and Mayweather have hard to overlook.

    I think all 3 would have a tough time with him but I'm not saying he could beat all 3 of them necessarily. I definately want to see all the top welterweights fight each other.

    He would give problems to the three of them, maybe even win. But he hasn't accomplished what they have done (especially what SSM and PBF have done) and doesn't deserve to be considered at the same level.

    if any of them is going to beat him, they have to do it soon...Williams can only get better at 25 years of age.

    How he makes 147 I dont know?!!!


    I would bet on Cotto and Mayweather to decision him.

    I think he would out work Mosely and get a decision.

    True, but after seeing the kinds of fits length and a jab give Shane, its hard to think that Williams wouldn't work to create distance. Shane could get in deep doo doo quick with those no look lead power shots he loves so much. Williams looks gawky, but I'm not sure he has any less handspeed now than the 2003 (4?) version of Viper. Shane's gotten slower and older.

    Cotto would test that body severely, and you know PBF would come up with some kind of plan, but Williams has so much reach over both of them. Its hard to envision fight scenarios with that kind of a physical freak.
