he does have those hand probs. and that could cost him against hatton or oscar, he needs enough pop to keep them off him. but he does use the winning gloves now, so he should be ok with that.
true, but some of that pop is gone that he used to have. i can espicially notice it with his straight right hands.
floyd is far from being overrated. he's just in a class of his own. each fight that is supposed to be his hardest test he passes in flying colors, with the Castillo fights excluded.
but each time he faces someone who is a ko puncher or someone who is going to rough him up, he out classes them and makes them all look like amatuers.
it's like roy jones jr when he was in his prime no one could touch him, no one could look good against him, no one could make a dent in him, it's the same with floyd.
it will come to an end, the only thing is can floyd retire before it does. he has the best chance of any fighter today to retire undefeated. i'd like to see hi do it.
hey, maybe i was too harsh, i agree he is p4p right now. but a p4p champ has to continue to prove that shit, im tired of everybody wanting to fight oscar cause he brings in all the money. i do think that oscar has the best chance to beat him though, because he is the bigger man, i think he can hurt pbf, but i don't think pbf can hurt oscar, especially at 147 and maybe junior middle. what u think?
oscar will be his toughest challenge. But i want to see him against Hatton.
I think floyd looks best at 140. hes got that speed and pop in his punches.
hopefully his hands dont betray him.
the gatti win was very impressive, but oscar did the same thing ,and kayoed him. i just want to see him fight the best in the 147,140 divisions before he gets old like roy did. corley is a sneaky fuck though, if he had a killer instinct he might have beat cotto, and possibly floyd.
but oscar was the bigger man in that situation, gatti was small and above his original weight.
i agree that i want him to fight dlh or hatton, but that doesnt mean hes not number 1 p4p.
i give him credit for zab. that's it., corley already got beat by zab. i love gatti, but he isnt elite. bruseles is a fucking bum, and a walk in the park for anybody remotely decent at 140. if pbf doesn't fight hatton, margarito, oscar, or cotto in his next fight than he is just like roy trying to pad his record with the least risk. if he fights another bum than we all know what he is really made of.
you werent impressed by the way he defeated corley and more importantly, gatti?
who? 35 year old mitchell? 34 year old gatti? who?
zab, gatti, corley and brussels.
Those fights arnt a walk in the park, and floyd dominated all of them.
Heres why PBF is number 1. THere is no one out there today who dominates thier division and beats all these other greats. So what we fall back on is overall talent, level of competition, how the preformed in these fights (not just winning) and ability to keep dominating regardless of weight.
Its called pound for pound for a reason.
what im saying is that he proved to be the best lightweight in the world. beyond that he hasn't proved anything at the junior and regular welterweight levels., that is all. i think he will be beaten within his next 2 or 3 fights, as long as he takes on tough fighters and not the bruseles's and mitchell's of the world!!!!
hes beaten very good opposition 10 and 17 pounds above his original weight!
Not overrated. Beaten dudes out of their prime and all but still, its not as if he has a thousand other options. Lets see, we have Hatton/Cotto/Margarito/Mosley/De La Hoya. Mosley and De La Hoya require more drastic weight changes than the rest, so we are left with Hatton who needs more fights in the US to cash in big time on Mayweather. We have Cotto who is gonna get beat before he gets to Mayweather, and we have Margarito who hasnt exactly qualified yet...
I wouldnt say he is overrated. He is overrated by the guys who say he will never be beaten... because I believe he will...

you keep dancing around my main point, has floyd beaten the best at 140, and 147? answer the question pal. you tell me what he proved at the above weights? hating has nothing to do with it, just answer the question tardboy
who is the best at 140 and 147, i believe he tried to get a fight with hatton and cotto and both said they needed more fights before they fought pbf, so what are you saying

no, yet he is still a beltholder, undefeated and a 4 division champ.
your acting like the top guys fight each other all the time, but thats simply not true.
that was BEFORE zab got rocked and beaten by journeyman baldomir. and guess what, the first 4or 5 rounds he did not dominate, judah had a gameplan that was working and was effective for a while, now to floyd's credit he came on strong in the second half of the fight,but by no means did he dominate from rounds 1-12. im stating an opinion you jackass, i never said i hated the guy you nuthugging ***got.
you are the jackass to even say that floyd is overrated asshole. i'm far from a nuthugger but when you have a guy like floyd who is naturally talented like that i hate to hear you fucking haters on here bashing him for any reason you can think of.
when the fight was first announced between floyd and zab alot of people were saying that zab hits to hard for floyd and floyd never fought anyone as fast as zab, but when floyd goes in there and dominates then zab is a bum and this, that and other. it will happen everytime with you floyd haters, no matter who he beats he will still be overrated.
No way the guy has beaten alot and moved up classes with ease, and with the exception of the first Castillo Fight never ever looked in danger of being beaten
no what's funny is how all of you floyd haters will come up with anything to try to discredit floyd. it's more impressive to me that he jumps up in weight and still dominates.
thats more impressive then staying at one class and knocking out corey spinks!?!?!?
are you joking??!?
Thank's Rosewood, I mean did you hear the excuses for Hatton Saturday? And I don't hate Hatton but if PBF struggled with Collazo you'd hear so much he got exposed nonsense, but if he crushed him then ppl will say he picks his fight's. It's funny how some ppl are mentioning Hatton and Gatti but yet Mayweather "doesn't challenge himself" when he drubbed Gatti and I actually remember certain hater's saying he would lose to him. The one time he has a close fight he cleared the doubt and he wasn't even close to being KO"d in the 12 like that but no credit for that he could've just said I won and bounce. It's almost as if I kinda wish he didn't dominate his opponents so often, even when Zab started off strong he adjusted and then dominated.
Collazos style isnt perfect for Mayweather as it is for Hatton. Theres no denying that Southpaws and taller boxers trouble Hatton more than they should.
