Do you think that the Williams who beat Margarito could have beaten Floyd Mayweather? There is a small window when they were champions at the same time. Mayweather had just beaten De La hoya and a couple of months later Williams had beaten Margarito. I think Williams had the Height, Reach, Jab, Chin Stamina, and his ability to throw a lot of punches at welterweight, plus him being a southpaw would have given Floyd all kinds of problems. Also, at that time Williams was young, undefeated and in his prime, and you know as great as Floyd was, he never fought at welterweight many fighters who were in their prime. Mosely, Judah, Cotto, Manny, Berto, were all past their prime. Hatton and Marquez were smaller fighters moving up and Canelo was not yet in his prime and they fought at a catchweight. I am not saying that Floyd could not have beaten them in their prime, he probably would have, but I would have loved to see him fight a prime Margarito. I think Floyd wins that fight, but a prime Paul Williams I am not too sure. I want to know what you think. Thank you, and keep up the great work. I look forward to your column every Saturday.
