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 ?

)
But he is still 2" taller than both of those guys and has a 9" reach over Margarito and 10" reach over Cintron, on top of which I don't think either of those guys are as fast or as slick as Sharmba (say what you will about him).

Floyd - Could beat Williams, it would be a war though, I am assuming PBF is going to 154 next year one way or another
Quintana - Look really good against the way over-hyped Joel Julio, Williams style wouldn't allow him to pick and choose his punches though
Margarito - He would really have to be on his "A" game or he will get hammered all night long, and speaking of defense I haven't been too impressed with Tony's defense either.
Judah - You're kidding right? If you haven't noticed he has a glass jaw and no legs, being just fast is not enough anymore
Collazo - Definately doesn't have the power to put him away, that being said Williams takes it on the cards.
