Ike Williams VS Manny at 140

[BUDW]

Who wins?

[Jack]

Pacquiao.

[My2Sense]

Man, I've always loved Ike, and he was a fantastic counterpuncher. But still, can he withstand the speed and fury of Pacman's left-handed attack? :think

[Rattler]

Williams SD

pac in a barn burner.

[Shake]

Ike Williams, and although competitive, for me it isn't close.

[Minotauro]

Williams in a late stoppage.

[McGrain]

Williams in a late stoppage is my pick.

Who wins?

To steal a 50's campaign slogan," I LIKE IKE !"

[robert ungurean]

Williams is great one of my fave's but I dont know if he can deal with Pac's speed & angles.
I think Pac gets a bit under respected on this forum.

[laxpdx]

Pac will give a good account of himself but I don't see how he will overcome Ike.

[red cobra]

No shit, it should be obvious, that this Pacman is the serious deal.

[Sweet Pea]

Pac is the real deal, no doubt about it. But matchups don't come much worse for him IMO. I'd pick Ike to blast a charging Pacquiao out of there by the mid rounds.

[Shake]

I would like to note, though, that 140 is not Pac's best weight. Furthermore, while he has two brilliant victories around the weight (Hoya&Hatton) Manny did not have to absorb much in both matches.

The jury should still be out on Pac's punch resistance and ability to absorb/survive a war at 140 and over. Even in the Hatton fight, I felt like Pac was frail, somehow, if that makes sense.

I can't give him the nod over Ike Williams. Actually, I wouldn't give him the nod over any top fighter in his prime at 140. When in with the elite of the elite, the smallest cracks are laid bare, and Pac is still a bit small at the weight.

[Olu G. Rotimi]

Wiliams on points. However what about Pacman versus Ike Williams.

[BUDW]

Ike wins by KO in a dony brook brawl.

[mcvey]

No shit, it should be obvious, that this Pacman is the serious deal.

I quite agree, Pacman may be our version of Armstrong.Williams however was the 50's version of Duran.

[Jack]

Williams footwork is too slow on his feet. I don't see how he'll be able to cope with Pacquiao dashing in and out. He plants his feet far too much.

He's obviously an overrated puncher too. Regardless of how good soe of his knockouts are, he failed to stop fighters who had a lesser chin than Pacquiao does. Obviously his knockout ratio is far from impressive. I just don't see him hurting Pacquiao over and over again.

[Manassa]

Williams by.............. Stoppage. Because he hit back accurately.

[beecho1988]

Pacman

[anarci]

Ill take Manny by decision in a close fight.

[anarci]

I see so far 11 people got Ike and 7got Pac. i wonder if opinions will be swayed now since Pac just whupped on Cotto.

[Manassa]

Not for me. Still Williams.

[teeto]

When you think about how well Marquez did, and then you think about how Williams waits for you then unleashes hell, well he certainly has a great chance imo. Both top fighters,

[teeto]

I can't believe people haven't mentioned how well Marquez fared here. Fck this i'm picking Williams.

Oh and i know all about Pacquiao being another animal now, with the improvements and all.

[Sweet Pea]

I see so far 11 people got Ike and 7got Pac. i wonder if opinions will be swayed now since Pac just whupped on Cotto.Not at all.

[laxpdx]

Williams by systematic dissection.

[The Morlocks]

Who wins?
Ike by a ko. He was essentially a bugger man and an alltime great at lightweight, whereas Manny is an alltime great but not as experienced at light and above w/ the kind of comp. Williams had.:hat

[JimmyShimmy]

Williams' dynamic firepower would not agree with Pacquiao.
