  1. Whitaker. Again. Easy.

    In fact, to stop you starting anymore nonsense-threads: Whitaker beats anyone else you pick. :popcorn:

    I'd venture to say that one of the best fighters who ever lived could duplicate what a bum like Carlos Quintana was able to do.

    Whitaker. Wide.

    Whitaker clear but it's an awkward fight for him because Williams is so tall and he's busy as fuck

    1. Williams would give him up his height and bend down, because he had no ring IQ. Thus, giving up his only advantage.

    2. Williams workrate would drop since he wouldn't be able to find many openings.

    I mean cmonn, look at how incredibly easy Lara neutralized Williams. And in Lara, we're talking about a world class technician.... but not an all time great technician.

    How do you go from "Whitaker clear" and then take the word "awkward" to some how infer it would be close? Even the shortest sentences you seem to find a way to pick out issues with.

    Williams had poor defense and it seemed extra so against lefties

    Despite the physical advantages, Williams drops a clear UD as Whitaker's significant advantage in ring smarts and skills would be too much for The Punisher.

    Whitaker takes about 8 or 9 of the 12 rounds

    Williams might beat the Whitaker of 96' and after (excluding the DLH fight), or make it very close. Whitaker slipped after 1995. His last great performance was against DLH, but that was all on the defensive end
