Why? What does Paul Williams do that makes you feel that way?

I see where a tall, rangy, high-volume puncher like Williams would appear to be the prototype fighter to give someone like Mayweather problems. However, I find it hard to believe he would "wipe the floor" with Mayweather, considering that he hit a journeyman like Santos Pakau with every punch in the book for 6 rounds and couldn't even knock him down.
I like Williams' chances against Margarito, who has no shown no clue how to avoid a punch and who doesn't throw fluid combinations in return.

But to expect Williams to beat Mayweather is a whole other thing entirely. Mayweather has shown the ability time and time again to make his opponents miss one punch after another, he can fight moving backward, and can effectively counter in combinations.

Williams throws and lands tons of punches. To beat a defensive fighter of Mayweather's caliber, he's going to have to be willing to deal with missing more punches than he's ever missed in his life, getting countered with more punches than ever before, and still keep coming. I'm not saying he can't do that, but that is a huge leap to make for a fighter. All high volume fighters can keep throwing when they're landing. Only the most committed and elite can keep throwing when they are mostly missing. Only time will tell which group Williams falls into.
