    pw own speed and output and reach would make it real hard for mayweather.i have seen mayweather against many style fighters and sizes.but not one the size of pw and his ability.i think pw will outpoint him, if mayweather fights cat in mouse with him pbf will lose.in the pocket im going with pw, im sure pbf can some what mimick carlos 1st fight with pw but im not sure it would go like he would think.

    pbf's power is underated but i dont think he could get pw's respect and pw might just run him over or try to.i would not be easy for pw but i think it would win a ud.

    do you guys understand how much smaller floyd is to paul?

    floyd is 5 8... paul is 6 2/6 3... its not like floyd is going to be able to just get inside of him to easily throw these jabs that are supposed to interupt his rhythm.... not only that but like yall are acting like this quintana fight is the perfect example of how to beat pw.. that **** was a horrible fight from paul... anyone who is honest & has 2 eyes can see that paul had a bad fight... he admitted it and came back and handled his business

    Floyd can do it, Floyd can make Williams drop the pace by landing precise accurate counters.

    Floyd does not need to be comfortable with his potshots,knocking out Hatton for example... Hatton crowded him,wrestled and this forced Mayweather to be more aggressive than usual and this actually brought out the best in Floyd,what we wanted to see with his previous fights in his words being duds.. Yes Williams throws alot but I have a strong feeling that Floyd will be dodging/ducking and slipping around and away from them..

    Look, he destroyed Quintana, but he was also outboxed badly in the first fight. Williams has probably improved, but Floyd is a lot better than Quintana, so... is it really an upset if Floyd beats him? Not in my opinion.

    Don't generalize me with Margo-Cheato fans who always talk about that Quintana fight!! I didn't say who I think will win. I see a scenario where both could win. I think I acknowledged already that Floyd is a blown up jr WW and Paul just kicked Winky's ass at MW. Yes, he's a hell of a lot bigger than Floyd!

    some of yall are hilarious with this drop williams work rate ****...

    HOW THE **** CAN FLOYD DO THIS? floyd is little as **** to paul williams.... were not talking about diego corrales or soemthing... paul williams is ****ing 6 2 with an 82 inch reach... and if floyd does what he normally does... giving away his first 3-4 rounds... paul will just get into his rhythm and really just end up throwing a gazillion punches...

    That helps Williams, and it hurts him. Mayweather would need a ****ing ladder to hit him, I agree with some of you guys on that, but Paul would have a miserable time trying to find Mayweather because of Floyd's speed, elusiveness, and smaller stature.

    Bring the best out in Floyd. Yes, I am sure Paul would do that, and even a Pacquiao fight would. I like when he opens it up. I don't blame him for pot-shotting Oscar all night though. Oscar really was a lot bigger than him in that fight.

    i aint mean to make it seem like i was coming at you but the quintana fight happened and there are things you can draw from it... but you didnt even see a williams who was fighting at 80%.... he fought a horrible fight .. he would come fully focused to fight floyd... i cant even really see a way floyd can win

    paul has A+ stamina.. we saw this with winky & marg
    paul has atleast an A chin... we saw this againt everyone he has fought
    paul has technical boxing skil...

    this guy really has a lot of tricks in his bag.. i dont understand what floyd can do for 12 roudns to escape from pw

    man **** that lol.... paul could just

    A) pressure floyd from the inside and chase him around the ring all night & yes he can do that
    B) pressure floyd from a distance behind a jab... we have never seen paul do this really but he can follow a game plan .. i have no doubt he would be capable of doing this

    floyd will not be able to run from pw for 12 rounds... floyd wont be able to discourage him ... esp with floyd giving away the first 2-4 roudns as he normally does

    No, he could possibly cut Paul's output down. He would have to to win or Paul's work rate would win him the fight, plus his punches come from all over the place. PBF couldn't get away with sitting the ropes or **** like that, but Floyd is as adaptable fighter as there is. I'm not sure who would win. Floyd's not going to pot-shot Williams all night. He would have to open it up.

    I never put any stock in the first Quintana fight. It's irrelevant to rely upon in figuring out how to beat PTP. That was some other guy in the ring, not Paul.
