Now I'm the furthest thing away from a Tony Margarito fan but I think Tony would just brutalise this kid. He was way too open, got caught flush by Sharmba 4 times in a row in round 2 or 3 and just would not get away with such a weak defense against a guy like Margarito.

He throws a lot of punches, but he doesn't look like a big puncher, certainly no Hearns. I think he will get outmuscled by the best at 147lb.

If this fight happens against Margarito, and it's a probability seeing as he's Tony's mandatory I would say Tony inside 8 or 9 rounds.
I agree. Margarito or even Cintron could give Williams some troubles. Tall fighters sometime get use to being so much bigger then their opposition, when they face someone their own height the deficiencies they have in defense come into play more.. some tall fighter developed bad habits in regards to hand position over the years from fighting steady dose of short fighters, all of a sudden they fight someone who can hit them from little bit further away and it can be problematic esp when you get use to a comfort distance that is not there anymore. ( i don't know i am translating my thoughts very well ? )
