I mean, what the hell is this...
What ever happend to fighting the best out there?
Sad really.
JT and PBF are polar opposites!!
Floyd is safety first he hasn't taken a risky (albeit every fight is risky this i'am aware) fight in years. Jermain has stepped in the ring with possibly the top 2 pound for pound guys 3 times in a row!!
Floyd whould avoid fighting these taller welterweight if at all possible... can't blame him for that as Floyds best fighting weight is 135 , hell that where he belongs . Margarito and Williams are 6"0 -6'2 147lb fighters who should be fighting at 160 - 168 if they had the balls ! but they would rather starve and beat on the little ones. I say the hell with that ! The truth is Mayweather wants no part of these Margarito Cintron Williams type fighters , all kinda of risk with the tall rangy guys. and the main reason is reverse don't work as well against a tall rangy fighter ! Mayweather would be fuked . bad match stylistically for Mayweather.

Some of Mayweather's greatest performances are against Tall rangy guys
Hernandez, Corrlaes, Ndou

Corrales is tall but his reach is horrible and chin is shit. . Mayweather had a 2 inch reach advantage on Corrales and his reach was about even with Gernero Hernandez and Ndou at 72 inches.
vs- Paul Williams Mayweather would be giving up a whopping 10 inches.. big troubles !!!
vs- Maragrito a few inches in reach . but the height and strength of Margarito are the main factor here.
Floyd is a 135 fighter . its been his strategy as he moves up to an un natural heavier fighting weight to get the right matches vs. fighters he can out box easily . the smaller , shorter reach type fighters . Very smart business man Mayweather.!
Floyd had Baldo by 5 inches in reach !
Gatti by a few inches in reach.
in fact Mayweather has never faced anyone that had a longer reach ! ;) Mayweather is very smart ! ;)

I'll go on record saying that if Floyd is gonna lose to anyone, it's gonna be Paul Williams. All of his physical advantages paired with the fact that he throws 100 punches a round and jabs well could mean Floyd would never get inside and do anything.

Paul Williams does't have that much of a defense. The Little Big Man was able to fire off shots inside on him and then get to the outside before Williams could finally catch up with him. Mayweather could beat Williams imo. And Margarito and all those other guys
