Comments Thread For: Paul Williams: I Would Love To Fight Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[daggum]

Thats what i've been saying this whole time. People on boxingscene have no clue about boxing. One min its Floyd only fights smaller guys & floyd is a small man himself standing 5'7. Then they say its okay for Paul to fight little guys when he is 6'2 and fighting at middle weight. The guy isnt the most feared, trust me. All paul has to do is call out Ward, Dirrell, Froch, Abraham etc and if those guys duck him (Which i doubt) then his the most feared. But starving himself to fight at a light weight cuz your ducking dudes your size is crazy. Paul will get his head knocked off his shoulders if he chooses to fight those guys his size.

He is a COWARD...and Martinez is coming to knocked him down again, this time its going to take Larry, Roy jones, and Steward to pick him up off the canvas!

he's not ducking dudes his size at all. the guys his size are fighting at welter and light middle. you are referring to height once again not size. why should williams have to put himself at a disadvantage against bigger guys just cause he's tall? he has a naturally skinny frame and he doesn't even weigh 168 pounds between fights so why should he have to fight there? almost everyone cuts weight to make the weigh in so why the double standard when williams does it? he's no bigger than guys like mosley or cotto he's just taller.

Well, if you listen to many veteran posters in these forums
size doesn't matter. Boxing is about weight not height,
according to them. Me, these size differences in fights
don't appeal to me personally. But why not? My old man
just showed me that classic Hagler vs Hearns fight. Oh my,
that was one of the best fights I've seen in boxing.

I listen to everybody... but I use common sense.

With the exception of Floyd being 5'8 1/2", I agree with this post. Paul's whole promotional angle was being 'the most feared/avoided man in boxing' and his whole saga with the Martinez rematch has exposed that as bull****- he was reluctant to sign on and wanted to go midget hunting at 147 instead, asked for a catchweight despite being 6'2" to Martinez's 5'10". That whole 'most avoided' thing is a joke now.

Not to mention Paul is completely overrated with limited skills and is easier to hit than Margarito. I think Pac would dispose of him worse than Quintana did, Paul is susceptible to southpaws and one as fast, mobile, and strong as Manny at 147=brutal KO loss for Paul. A Floyd fight might be interesting depending on May's strategy, if he plans on laying against the ropes in his shell and being purely defensive... he'll be overwhelmed like Winky Wright was. You have to take the fight to him and keep him off balance, which isn't hard since his footwork is garbage.

Mayweather would fight him the same way Carlos and Martinez fought him, slick, and sly. FLoyd would counter him coming in the same way he did hatton, hitting him flush. If Paul fought a tall mans fight and used his reach i'd give him the advantage to beat Manny and Floyd, but he doesnt. The guy bends down to their level and his head is open for business like the mall at 9. Paul owes Carlos a rematch, he owes margarito a rematch and like u said, he was ducking this martinez fight. To be honest i like Martinez would give Floyd more problems then Paul. I wasnt a real big fan of Martinez but after i seen that ass whooping he put on Paul and Pavlik, a fan was born. Martinez is my second favorite compared to FLoyd. I'll go with Floyd if they ever meet but I think that fight could go either way.

Paul is scared right now, looking at the calendar praying these next few days go slow. Cuz he knows Martinez his coming to knock snot out his nose again. Anytime u get a booger knocked out yo nose, damit you lost that fight lol

he's not ducking dudes his size at all. the guys his size are fighting at welter and light middle. you are referring to height once again not size. why should williams have to put himself at a disadvantage against bigger guys just cause he's tall? he has a naturally skinny frame and he doesn't even weigh 168 pounds between fights so why should he have to fight there? almost everyone cuts weight to make the weigh in so why the double standard when williams does it? he's no bigger than guys like mosley or cotto he's just taller.

We finally agree on something....good post.

Bro you are dumb... Paul might be slim but his frame is big, look at how wide his shoulders and chest is thats his frame. YOur frame has nothing to do with your weight. His frame compared to mayweathers frame is larger thats why i said he is a bigger man. His frame can hold 160-170 with ease because he has a big frame where as manny and floyd cant gain 170 without looking fat and bloated. I know what i'm talking bout. And Paul started his career at middle weight, just because he got noticed at WW and junior middle weight doesnt mean nothing. The guy is cutting weight for a reason and that reason is....theres a lot of ass whoopings waiting on him. Any man standing 6'2 and up weighing 147 is under weight. I'm 6'1 and weigh 170, i'm sure i can train and get down to 147 that dont mean im a little man compared to manny cuz we weigh the same ignoranT!

If you can make the weight, you make the weight.

he needs to forget about floyd and pacquaio..those two will never fight him,,,he should think about fighting maybe margarito if margarito wins,,,how about challenging chavez jr?..that would be a good payday for williams and it makes sense if williams beats martinez,since chavez has to decide if he'll stay at 154 or go to 160,if he chooses 160 he would be williams mandatory,if williams wants a good payday he should call out chavez or marg if he wins because if margarito wins it will be a good fight money wise with him or chavez,no other boxer besides mayweather or manny would give him a good payday right now

[Champ Is Here]

Paul beating May Pac or any welterweight will NOT increase his popularity, and he still wont get credit for it. He could move up to 168 or atleast 165 but he's not going to... he wont push himself. Do that and then his name may start to ring some serious bells

[PrinceCharlez]

If you can make the weight, you make the weight.

Im not arguing that. Of course if you can make the weight you can make the fight. All im saying is he calls himself the most feard but yet he's not calling out the guys who weigh a few more lbs then him. He fighting at Middle weight weighing 160 and Dirrell and them are weighing 167. Instead of him going down 13 pounds he too scared to go up 7 and take on people his size....He's a coward and thats why he gets no credit.

If Paul was smart he'd get his name mixed in there with the Super 6 dudes, but I guess he can't risk being exposed and never getting that big pay day at all. The possibility of a big pay day is better to him than taking that risk and building his name up more.
