    I was generalizing, but let's address your points. Abraham fights out of that shell like Clottey. He is really there to be hit - infact, his over-defensive nature is irritating. Paul just jerks around and launches forward throwing punches. Even the subtle defensive maneuvers from Marciano were more noticeable and apparent. And not known as being all that technical, Marciano still is much more technical than PW and also probably has a superior chin.

    Agreed, but at the same time do you notice the success Paul had when he doubled up his jab. Imagine Paul making Martinez come to him toward the middle to late rounds. If he was just more versatile, disciplined and developed then he could really utilize his athletic ability, skills, and especially his physical advantages.

    I would favor all 3 against Williams. Obviously Pac is a hugely tough fight to call due to the huge size disparity. But I'd favor Floyd and Mosley pretty confidently.

    PW gets by on physical skills alone, IMO a peak Mosley would Knock him out similar to what he did to Margo, Williams is far to easy to hit, Quintana, Phillips, Mitchell and now Martinez were able to easily land HUGE shots against him, an elite puncher like Mosley or Abraham would turn his lights out.
