Cotto and Shane present the biggest problems....If Paul made 147 IMO he would be drained and Floyd would exploit that....I could be wrong though...at 154 P Williams gives him trouble... I also think Berto can bang with him for a while too but I know Floyd is more accurate than Andre so that might be his downfall... COMING FROM A FLOYD FAN I WILL SAY FLOYD HAS MORE TALENT THAN ANY FIGHTER OUT THERE BUT IF HE DOESN'T FIGHT THE COTTO/PAC WINNER THAN HE WAISTED HIS TALENT AND DIDN'T FIGHT THE BEST AND THATS THAT...TILL THAT FIGHT TAKES PLACE I THINK ITS FAIR TO LET HIM WAIT IT OUT AND SEE WHO WINS THAT FIGHT SO HE CAN GET THE WINNER
I appreciate the compliment, but we'll have to agree to dissagree on this one. His punch output usually depends on who he's fighting. Usually his defense-first stance will cause his opponents to shell up and pick up a cautious approach themselves, in order to avoid allowing Floyd to capitalize on any mistakes. The Marquez fight showed this pretty well. Against fighters that do throw a lot, Floyd has typically shown a higher workrate, though that wouldn't seem to make much sense. He does it because they leave so many opportunities. Especially sloppy, inaccurate punchers like Williams, who he'll have a field day with. And he'll probably land as many of those clean as Williams will with his entire arsenal. He won't take the chance because he is a big *****, but Williams IMO wouldn't be much of a risk (not that it matters, as he's a legitimate WW and therefore out of boundds for Floyd and management). Carlos Quintana beat his ass for ****'s sake, and exposed his limitations in the process. The rematch means little in regards to what it takes to beat Williams. The guy is too technically inept to beat Floyd.
Well, maybe so. Paul has been improving since he lost, but I honestly think Mayweather may be better than ever. We have to see it though to know. Williams seems to be regarded as his biggest threat. I really hope they fight. I don't see how Paul can beat him. Size and length won't help him. Mayweather in my mind, can adapt to anything Paul would do.
