I screwed up the first poll. Use the one, disregard the other one.
Let's try this again.
Round 1
Manny Pacquiao vs Andre Berto
Miguel Cotto vs Joshua Clottey
Antonio Margarito vs Shane Mosley
Floyd Mayweather vs Paul Williams
Why did Mayweather had to be matched up with Williams :(because he would beat him, and williams would be his best comp, but would lose. but floyd lost according to the polls. i'm sure the threadstarter waited until paul lead than closed the polls, but whatever. it was a one point win for williams.
i got
pacman
cotto
margs
mayweather
i love the thought that berto is too big for pacman :rofl:
berto is small for a welterweight and hasn't shown amazing power either. pacman would shoot straight lefts all day till berto's face is unrecognizable
So I'm about to call this thing, I don't wanna hear any complaining about me calling it when Paul Williams is up by one point because I'm a Floyd Hater. I've given you all your chance.
Quintana outboxed Williams , Floyd would embarass him
Cotto's just too good for Clottey
Mosley would end up brawling with Marg and thats not a smart idea
Berto's too big for Pac , its the same Pac that fought JMM , the diaz and de la hoya fights have people fooled
These polls never work anyway
Floyd haters pick against Floyd no matter who he is against
Floyd huggers pick for Floyd no matter who he is against
Pac will win because he has the most biased nut huggers and some of his new fans are just fans of him and not the sport ( I will be very surprised if Pac does'nt win as he is the most popular fighter on the boards)
Paul W,beats mayweather easily,I dont see Cotto beating Clottey at all,Im sure the masses clearly under estimate Clottey,he went 12 hard rounds with Margarito with a broke hand and wasnt wobbled once,he is as tough as nails,Cotto will be worn out !!
berto-too strong for pac and handspeed is faster
clottey-yes, i do believe clottey would beat cotto
mosley-the only i'm picking mosley over tony is because with mosley--you really never know and tony is slow and shane can win a ud over him i believe. this was a tough one.
mayweather-no shock here. paul leaves himself too open to the body and floyd is the master at breaking you down, has much better defense. paul got caught a lot in his last fight and in the 1st quitana fight. i don't see him beating floyd, period. this would be floyd's best competiton though. only paul, nobody else.
i see floyd winning this again, no surprise. it cracks me up though. for a guy who doesn't fight the best ww's to you people, you always have him beating the guys he hasn't fought. if floyd gets past paul williams in this round, he's taking it i bet you.
Hmmm, this is a rather difficult choice all around. I think I would have to go with these:
Berto
Clottey
Margarito
Mayweather (if we're talking the active Mayweather)
They're all quite close fights though so they could all definitely go either way. The simple fact that Williams is a twenty foot tall southpaw that throws a hundred punches a round could give Mayweather problems, just as Berto has never faced anyone of Pac's caliber so that fights is also hard to truly judge. Cotto, in my opinion, would be out-boxed and out-fought in a very tough fight for both guys. Clottey's defense and his fantastic, short left hooks and uppercuts would be crucial in this fight. I think Mosley is simply too old to compete with Margarito now.
I agree with you Benny, they are all very tough fights to call, tells us a little bit about the status of the Welterweight division. It's a great one. Hope some of these fights can be made. We know Margarito and Mosley will bring it.
Berto
Clottey
Margarito
Mayweather
lol all these people who voted for pac, when there is a poll for manny he gets vote everytime but nobody has posted pac as a winner in the tourney.

I'm not sure about Pacquiao-Berto, Berto's level of opposition has been nowhere near the level of a fighter like Pacquiao and he's a relatively small welterweight, tough fight to call.

Round 1
Manny Pacquiao vs Andre Berto
Miguel Cotto vs Joshua Clottey
Antonio Margarito vs Shane Mosley
Floyd Mayweather vs Paul Williams
Pac ain't fighting at 147 again, but at a catchweight of say 143-144 I'd give Pac a chance to beat Berto. at 147 Berto is just too big and strong.
Cotto/Clottey is a great fight and imho that's who Cotto should fight as a tune up for Money Marg, but it is a tough fight for Cotto. Both guys fade late (good for cotto), cotto is the aggressor and clottey is the counterpuncher... I might have to go w/ Clottey on this one since styles makes fight and Clottey was able to take Money Marg's punishment while Cotto was not.
If Mosley stands and trades w/ Money Marg he will lose. If Mosley boxes he could win w/ a decision. Money Marg is too slow.
Floyd will never fight Williams.
I was wonderin why you didn't make multiple votes possible last one Puas.
Berto
Cotto
Marg
Pwill
Yeah, sorry about that guys, had one too many already. No more phuking up, promise.
