paul was elite as fukk..i dont know any 6'2" southpaw nikkas who fought at welter/light middle that overwhelmed fighters just off sheer activity and stamina alone...we've argued about this before..but this is not the thread for talking about this...get back to legendary nights

Thank you. I agree as well. In any case, Leonard-Hearns was a classic. I made a thread about this before and got negg'ed until i was pissing red-Mayweather has NEVER been in a fight that was or still is considered a CLASSIC. Now although some might point to his one sided domination of most foes, I point to his careful selection of opponents and his blatant disregard for the toughest challenges.

He has wins over PRIME versions of Margarito, Lara, Martinez, Cintron, Wright, Philips, Mitchell. You have to remember, Mayweather chose not to face Williams when he was the #1 rated mandatory challenger. Once that happened, Williams moved up in order to get better fights. His issue was he was largely avoided in the 3 weight classes he was actively fighting in-147, 154, 160. I believe his height, offensive output, and reach would have been enough to beat Mayweather.

Paul Williams didnt even use his reach at all lmao. That's easy work for mayweather.

Margarito a B class at best fighter, the fight could have went either way, plus like in real life people only remember the end of a fight, Marg winning 5 of the last 6 rounds was the dominant statement of that fight, and showed that the lowly one dimensional AM had more levels and adjusted and broke his will before time failed him

Lara, the gifts of gifts, nikkas called for Williams retirement after this fight........:skip:

Mitchell already shot and completely done by the time Floyd finished with him, it may be argued he was shot before Floyd ko'ed him


Philips, Verno, seriously who the fukk is that bum, you really mention a nikka with 11 L's:comeon:

Crispy Creme Winky the fat un primed version, and still Winky with his slapping ass was countering beautifully and knocking Williams across the ring, even buzzing him at times, before fat boy got tired


Martinez another Bum ass hype job, who never had no intentions of avenging his brutal L to and Margarito and hid in a weak ass 160 division fighting bums, and still I felt he boxed the shyt out of P dubb and should have got th clear UD, he won 7 rounds in the first match IMO



Williams is a good little fight just short of elite, his size and length protected him from his amateurish skills, at the bigger weights when he was fighting taller people his sized the problems arose

nikka was like 6 5 fighting like Tim Bradley:snoop:

The fight would have been like Mayweather NDou or Corrales but 2 times worse, Mayweather feast on tall lanky dudes with shytty footwork. And Williams lack of one punch power would have made things worse, coupled with him and his workrate being open to counter after counter(watch Lara), and P Dubb inability to adjust one bit, that shyt would have been a cold blooded murder

man paul williams had no punching power and terrible defense,
margarito is a flat footed fighter, floyd would have moved around him the entire fight man
only reason he never fought them because he had bigger fights to choose from

punisher has a 63% ko rate; floyd has a 59% ko rate...punisher had power...but regardless its not about that...talk about a gotdamn legendary night episode..i know floyd doesn't have one of those but im sure you've seen the one mentioned in thread title or another one

ward-gatti is a classic trilogy of fights but its been covered so many times..they need to shed light on some other fights

Sure but...with Gatti's popularity and passing, alongside the fact that it's named alongside of the greatest boxing trilogies of all time, it deserves an episode

I hope to see Pernell Whitaker in an episode :obama:
Maybe against McGirt or De La Hoya
