Could Paul Williams be the man to beat Floyd?

[Kev]

Williams-Mayweather would be a boring one.

Williams throws over a 100 punches a round, how would this be boring?

They won't be able to hurt each other.

You serious? Margarito and Williams wern't able to hurt each other either but show me a better fight this year

pavlik-miranda

Agreed. I think Pavlik shocked the world on that one.

Not me I was spamming the boards beforehand saying that Miranda was getting his ass knocked out

It was a great fight but not competitive which stops it from being the best imo. I preferred the Williams Margarito fight because Tony pushed him right until the end.

Plus I never liked Miranda much anyways and knew he was hype over substance as guys with power usually are.

Where Williams is different is that he has no power so his wins are a result of sheer workrate and punch output.

A good boxer who can take a punch will beat a puncher 8 times out of 10 but a guy who with a huge natural punch output who can sustain 100 punches a round for the whole duration is very hard to stop, especially if you don't have the power to make him stop punching.

Floyd doesn't have the power to take away Williams output like Taylor was able to do to Ouma. When he fought Coralles, Corralles just stalked him waiting for the opportunity to land which obviously never came as he was too slow but Williams won't wait, he'll just keep throwing.

Some of you mentioned Chavez as a guy who throws nonstop who Floyd beat but Chavez was only a small guy, basically a lightweight version of Hatton and he DID have Floyd backing up for long periods of that fight.

Williams is a giant compared to Chavez and doesn't gas out so his attacks might be sustained more than Chavez's were.

I'm not saying Williams definitely beats Floyd, I voted maybe, but the reason I started the poll was that in my opinion at least he presents one of if not the most unique stylistic puzzle for Floyd to solve right now.
