Troy Williamson said he wants to "duke it out" with Brad Childress before Sunday's Jaguars-Vikings game. Who would win? Well, chances are this card will never take place, but to compare the two ...
Age: Childress 52; Williamson 25.Height, weight: Childress 5-10, 190 pounds; Williamson 6-1, 203.
Nickname: Childress "The Mustachioed Mauler"; Williamson "Hands of Stone"
Strengths: Childress is evasive, particularly when answering questions, except Wednesday, when he said he had a body "of twisted steel and rompin', stompin' dynamite."
Williamson has speed to burn, especially considering that he has played in five of 10 games this season, with only four receptions and one touchdown.
Weaknesses: Childress says he has a kick you-know-what offense, but there's some doubts that's the case. Fight would be on the road, where he has yet to excel. Of course, better the road than home, where everyone seems to want him fired.
Williamson says he will fight with both hands tied behind his back, although given the reputation of those hands, perhaps this should be in the "strengths" category
