He has a ridulous reach advantage and he uses it well, can use the jab well and use angles well, height advantge and is a pretty good on the in side. I think PBf would be confused and probably give to many rounds away and find out that PW does not tire and lose by a few rounds it would be competive but i see PW getting a UD and i would bet about 100 bucks on PW if the had it on me and be ok with my bet. But yet again that is me i see PW as the man to beat PBf more so then even Cotto could be wrong but PW i really belive to be the man to beat Floyd if the fight ever happens.
I don't see that size being all that big of an advantage, I think Mayweather's movement takes a lot of it away, and Paul doesn't ahe the power to keep Mayweather defensive like he was against Oscar, also I think that Mayweather can sting WIlliams because he will be hitting Williams early with those accurate punches he will eventually get to Williams which will slow him down. Also its different trying to keep a high punch number against a mover. Wright's punch stats dropped to half from Quartey to Hopkins because of movement. Duran couldn't get off half the punches he did in Leonard I as he did in Leonard II because of movement. How often was Hearns able to do one of his wild flurries against Leonard? ALmost never because of movement. THe difference is that Hearns was fast like WIlliams, but a far better boxer, with a bigger punch, a better jab, and better footwork. I see Mayweahter making WIlliams miss like crazy. First I would like to see Williams-Cotto because I think Cotto's strength would be too much for Williams and his accuracy and body shots would really hurt the bean pole. Williams could be great, but Mayweather is very great, as could be Cotto potentially.
