Thank you. Williams is good but why is it when someone comes off a win, everyone immediately thinks they can beat the best who's in their division? DLH beats Mayorga and everyone on this board is saying he'll slay everyone, Mosley beats Vargas and all the sudden he's the second coming of Tommy Hearns. And now Williams beats Antonio Margarito 8 rounds to 4 so he's gonna beat Floyd Mayweather I don't think so.
Fair point, I'm not saying Williams is the best fighter in the world I'm just putting the question out there as to how stylistically would Floyd solve the Williams puzzle.

In recent fights Floyd has one by staying on the outside and relying on his superior speed to pick of his opponents with single shot combinations.

How does he possibly stay on the outside of a man who's practically got a whole extra arm's length in wingspan to him?

Oscar WAS able to back up Floyd early and apply pressure but he tired late on and Floyd took over. We just saw against Margarito that Williams doesn't gas and unlike Oscar who got punch shy in the final rounds Williams was just a whirlwind from start to finish.

If you going to even make a post saying Williams loses end of, at least tell us how what strategy you think Floyd will adopt and HOW he will win.

This isn't just a yes or no poll I want reasons and opinions as to HOW this fight would pan out
All I can think of is Leonard/Hearns.
I am not comparing Tommy to Paul but there are some similarities. Height and reach being the most obvious.
Floyd would have to take risks against Williams and I dont see Floyd being that brave. That kind of balls and bravery nearly Cost Leonard his entire carreer. Floyd would get jabbed to death unless Floyd took that risk to fight like Leonard did against Hearns. Leonard was better than Flody and Ray had more power. Paul does not seem to have the power that Hearns had but Paul has the higher work rate so that would be an advantage. Why does it feel that Paul is still a little green after more than 32 fights? He ain't faught no one. Pual still looks good enough to beat Roid. Let's not forget that Paul is also a South Paw and we saw what a south paw in Judah did to Roid early.
