    Good post. He's fun to watch, but Williams is being TOTALLY overrated based on his one win against Margo. I'd take PBF to win pretty easily.

    :think uhm...i donno bout that one guys, floyd can adjust to that easily, that speed will neutralize that real(height,reach adv.) quick. All floyd will do (imo) is either time the jab, and slip it or go over the top of it, then just come with the straight rights(like he did on ndou),or hooks etc. Or Like he did with corrales,dlh!!! That speed changes a lot of gameplans for one, and for two,the moves that he utilizes the most in his arsenal keeps you off balance...so i donno only floyd can beat floyd,but that is just my opinion.:good

    Hatton and Gatti are basically 140lb fighters and even Judah is a smallish welter former 140lber. PBF's power at 140 was about average but his power against natural 147 fighters will be nothing. When's the last time he blew someone out in a couple of rounds at 147 or 140 for that matter? Claiming he hits harder than Margarito at 147 is borderline delusional.

    I think Floyd could take this fight. Williams throws a lot of punches but Floyd is an excellent counter puncher and every one of those punches would present a counter oppurtunity. Most people will argue that even in a losing effort, margarito was the more accurate puncher and landed the better shots against Williams, and made williams miss a lot. Floyd has faster hands, faster feet, is more accurate, and has better upper body movement. He could also make williams miss a lot and counter him better.

    I'd expect Williams to get off to an early lead before Floyd figures him out and takes the decision

    Come on...we all see his height and reach advantage....Floyd definitely will look to negate that by simpoly fighting inside......look at what Floyd does.......he stand in the center of the ring....turns his shoulder towards the boxer so his head is the farthest away....he also wraps tight int hat philly shell....now soons Paul tries to jab or throw a punch Floyd with his quick reflexes will duck down low and come up into Pauls chest and Floyd will eat him alive inside body work and uppercuts. This will slow Paul down even more come alter rounds wehre he showed he slows a little to leave a opening for late sprinters......Floyd will pot shot like he did Corrales when Corrales towered him and had a reach now Diego is dwarfed by PW i know but the same effect will happen because One PW doesnt have the power to hurt Floyd especially not that flicker he throws. This fight will be hard work of course because PW is very talented but Floyd is SMART in that ring and man.....if you dont have POWER to hurt him......when he does get aggrecisve...its hell to pay.
