Paul Williams Ready To Fight Floyd Mayweather in March - Boxing News

Interesting fight. But it's not going to happen.

[skel1983]

As if Floyd would fight Williams when he makes more money figthing Paulie or similar less risk fighters.

[p4pking]

Of course the point that Floyd isn't going to risk fighting Paul is perfectly valid, but more due to the innapropriately low reward that comes from fighting the guy. I don't really think Williams would have nearly as good a shot as Pacquiao did of actually beating Mayweather at 147.

[TheBranMan]

I think Williams should give Martinez the rematch first and foremost, he arguably lost that fight (twas a very good close fight tho). If not, then Floyd should fight Martinez to make a point, although then again, talk about a low-reward, high-risk fight...

i agree

[blegit]

I doubt that PWill could reasonably get down to 147 in less than 2 months with his health intact. But this fight would be a bigger draw than Pac/Clottey.

I just watched Williams Martinez again last night and definetly did feel Sergio edged it, great great fight though, a rematch between these two should definetly come before any other fights involving them. On a side note, I am now very hard pressed to root for Paul Williams after having heard him speak for the first time in the post fight interview. He's one of those guys who you get offended just listening to in any context; a complete meatskull, and not in a remotely endearing way like many athletes are.

That's typically how I feel after listening to Floyd Mayweather. I've always felt that Paul Williams comes across quite well in the interviews I have seen. He's always pretty positive, doesn't trash talk his way around the microphone. Just a laid back and likeable kind of guy. Which post fight interview are you referring too?

[Gandalf]

I would like to see Mayweather against Williams, but I have a hard time seeing Floyd want to face a freak like that. Even now, I think Paul Williams can beat Mayweather. Martinez gave Williams a tough fight, but he's damn good too these days. I really see Williams just being too busy for Floyd. Mayweather can't hurt him and Williams will just keep on pulling the windmill move on him. It's not always effective punching, but it will win rounds.

Can't see this fight happening, but what a statement for Mayweather to make if he did choose Williams! If Floyd wants any respect at all he needs a worthy opponent. My personal choice is Bradley, as I can see Williams getting down to 147 again & being effective...

[Dark Lord Al]

I may be alone , but i actually think Paul Williams would outpoint Mayweather if they fought. He handled the very defensive Winky Wright with ease , i think he is to busy and to big for Floyd.

Exactly what I think, add to it a disproportion range, a southpaw stance and a stamina that just doesn't fade, he has the perfect toolkit to potentially upset Floyd.

Does anybody realistically think Floyd would ever fight Paul Williams? Yes, Floyd's fought at 154 before and Paul Williams is very comfortable at 154, but when was the last time Floyd took a risky fight when there were low risk fights out there if the money wasn't astronomical?

[KananKrus]

Floyd vs Williams makes for an exciting match... but Williams is huge, too huge, and a southpaw. Those wingspan* 82 inch reach, is quite bothersome for anyone, bar none, even for an excellent fighter like PBF! *(IMO should be illegal at welterweight, LOL).

Floyd would entertain the idea but he would find a way to either price himself out or make the negotiations drag on so long Williams camp would move on
