    Canelo may knock him out, but i'll go with a UD, good match-up BTW.

    I think this is a really good fight for both fighters at this stage of their careers. Canelo needs to keep on improving and Williams is certaintly another challenge like Mosley to so where he compares with the best. Does Williams' experience make an impact on Alvarez' progression? He can certainly bang no doubt and this is why this fight is going to really test Alvarez. We will see, I am excited for this one though.

    This better not be a PPV.

    Usually fights on this weekend in Vegas are PPV, and I'm sorry, but Alvarez is not a PPV worthy headliner. Unless of course, his opponent is somebody that is PPV worthy. Unfortunately, Paul Williams is not.

    I'll watch. But Williams isn't exactly the holy terror that "no one would fight" after getting smacked on by Lara and even shook by a Nerf ball throwing Ishida. He's a name, has bounced back a bit and all ballls and who doesn't like cross roads fights!

    If Williams was known to use that magnificent rangy frame he was blessed with I'd give him huge shot, but may be in the minority but thinking Alvarez at this stage will play the boxer and some what batter him down the stretch.

    What weight btw ?

    This is a great fight. One of two questions will get answered.
    Is Saul ready for the elite?
    Is Williams back?

    I'd said Saul can beat anyone at 154. But notice in the fight against Shane, that he is not a counterpuncher. In which, Paul Williams kyponite. I can't wait for this fight.

    no way is Alvaraz beating Floyd right now. I wouldn't pick him against Cotto right now either. But a Williams fight can be competitive and exciting . Canelo doesnt have the one punch power as Martinez, so I'm going with Canelo UD, after an even 6 rounds, he wins the second half of the fight and gets the decision

    Martinez don't have one punch KO power neither. He caught a ne feared welterweight in a middleweight fight. That have been easy to hit in his career and it took a toll on him. Anyway, I'll never bet against Floyd but 154 is not his weight class. Alvarez vs Cotto is coming soon so we will see how that goes. Thats if Paul Williams don't shock everyone. Except me. Williams by MD.

    Canelo by KO...honestly I think that KO by Martinez has finished Paul Williams as a top level fighter. I think Mosley vs Williams would be much better as far as competition. I would like Canelo to fight Lara or Kirkland or Angulo....he'd probably beat all those guys, although if Lara decided to box he could hang with Canelo, in the end I think that's how he gets beaten, but it won't be by Williams.

    I'm not upset at a Paul Williams versus Canelo fight. It's a good fight and at a good time for Canelo's career. It's a step up, albeit not huge. I also wasn't upset with the prospect of a Kirkland-Canelo fight. However, it's not by mistake that although Williams and Kirkland were beat by Lara and Molina, Lara and Molina haven't even been mentioned as possible opponents for Canelo. I'll be rooting for Tall Paul, but favor Canelo.

    Thats what I think. It's like trying to put toothpaste back on the tube with that chin and his kinship with leather has finally caught up and frankly it's a bit scary. I'm skeptical with the anoitment of Alvarez and not really sure what he learned in with Mosley other than coping with a cut and his name but I liked his composure.
