    All of those are small for WW, But Williams is tailor made for Marquez and Pacquiao. Those are the only ones I see beating Williams.

    Marquez short reach would be a problem for him

    He was some sort of a beast in 147. He could propably beat all of them but Floyd.

    I would have wanted to see Quintana III even Paul blasted him in rematch.

    He's "short" reach wasn't a problem in the Gainer fight.

    72 vs 79...

    Williams would beat up Marguez.
    Nobody wanted to fight Williams at 147.

    Do you think Marquez needs his reach against someone who's coming at you with no defense at all??

    Well you are right... No doubt Marguez is the better boxer, he is great boxer but Paul was a fukin beast in 147 huge guy with Iron chin... I dont know could Paul just walk JMM down..?

    Marquez is my boy but i just don't know if Marquez would be able to gain Williams' respect and slow down his workrate.

    I think prime P-Will beats all of the current JWW/WW's out there Floyd aside. Marquez and Pacquiao have a chance but I really think size would be too big of an obstacle here for those two. Matthysse would have the next best chance... As for JMW's, Alvarez and Lara would be favorites in my eyes. Everybody else would have to be the underdog.

    PW was really over-hyped. His chin was always suspect and between Martinez and Lara he was probably shot anyway before the accident. His last couple outings were horrific compared to the guy we saw get KTFO'd!

    Lucas Matthysse- lucas meets the same fate his brother did against williams. ktfo'd.

    Danny Garcia- too slow....too short...to orthodox. ud loss

    Amir Khan- too chinny. ktfo'd in less than 5.

    paul malignaggi- not enough of anything. too small. ktfo'd in less than 5.

    Marcos Maidana- same as walter and lucas.

    Juan Manuel Marquez- small counter puncher like marquez wouldn't be able to reach williams.

    Tim Bradley- might go the distance...but he gets out worked.

    Many Paquiao(current)- ktfo'd in less than 5.

    Mayweather- best chance of beating williams...but gets outworked in a 12 rd ud for williams.

    he had the flu for the first fight. made no excuses. quintana never wanted the rubber match. he ended up serving as williams chief sparring partner for the martinez fights.
