against the pretty boy floyd?

im hoping this is just a tune up for his upcoming bout against arturo gatti

I didn't think Bruseles was that bad when I saw the little I did see of him in his last fight. Then there are some people who say Floyd isn't suppose to be in the 140lb. division. Personally, I pick Mayweather as a favourite, but with all the talk about Floyd vs. other 140lbers.. I think it's a good match-up. But in the end Bruseles' talent will be questioned as Floyd will go on to win every round and makes the guy look foolish.

No No And No ;)

bruseles doesnt stand a chance. pbf KO early. pbf looks poised to take over top spot as p4p king if he steps up the ccompetition

This one is going 12 rounds. PBF didn't carry his power to 140 and Bruseles hasn't been KD, much less KO'd. Bruseles is a tough SOB and both his loses are questionable (One by TKO because of a cut and one which, arguably, he won). I saw his MD loss and I thought he had it in the bag by at least 2 rounds.

I pick PBF only because of his superior boxing abilities but Bruseles isn't an easy mark and he will go all 12 rounds.

?
hes been kd b4
in his fight with negron
he got put on his ass in a bad way
then he came back to get the ko

chop chop was a tough bastard to, and look how many times he went down against the pretty one. i think floyd will get an impressive ko/tko. i wonder what kinda crazy trunks floyd will have on this time

Its as good an opponent as anyone. Most of the 140lbers are tied up at the moment. I wouldn't call it equally matched, but Bruseles is durable and has skills.

This fight dosen't solidify Mayweathers success in the jr Welter division. This proves he can beat the second tier fighters, I really don't think anyone questioned that. I'm still a bit wary if he gets in with a big puncher that isn't going to be intimidated by him. I want to see how he will do with the big guys....Cotto, Zoo, and yes even Harris. Big guys that would feel comfortable at 147lbs. That is the test and these are the guys he has to get through in order to rule 140lbs.

I can't see Bruseles having a chance against Floyd, just based on overall skill this should be Mayweather clinic.

Why is "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather Jr fighting BruselEs ? who is he, his record is less than deserving of a title fight. With so much talent in the division Floyd chooses the easy fight.
I for one have no interest in watching this fight, it's a rip-off.

I cant complain that Mayweather wants an easy fight, he's a small guy moving up so i'd expect him to do it but this guys record is pretty bad.

I havent seen Bruseles fight so i cant comment on his ability, but its suprising HBO have agreed to this.

HBO wasnt trying to give Floyd any money so he said well then I wont fight anyone. He'll just wait for the PPV June fight with Gatti. Also, there is no one else to fight except for Harris and if he fights him then he loses his #1 contender spot in the WBC for the big Gatti fight.
