Floyd has a point.
In terms of talent and skill, Pac isnt in his league.
in terms of talent and skill , margarito is not on Cottos league. But look what happened. He did have the style to beat him. Just like Everyopne thought Mosley was too much for Cotto.
Pacquiao might not be as pure of a boxer as Mayweather , but he most likely has the style and "skills" to beat him. Im not trying to star shit im just saying , Floyd should just admit he dont want to risk losing
I would go life and death with Rigo in a street fight even if he had an eye patch on , 1 hand tied to his back and bouncing on one leg and I'd have all kinds of weapons because I'm a ***** hating ass *****
We all know that.
What's funny to me is that JMM has gotten better with age. And not just better , but WAY better. His best win is at WW against Pac who made a full and successful transition to WW. But his fans cry over the loss to Bradley at WW.
I don't want to think of JMM as a cheater. I'm a fan of his too. But you have to wonder , at that age , to keep improving?? I'm a fan of his , but I have to call it how I see it. He has a decent resume without Pac tho. I think HOF worthy. Not ATG by any means. Can't complain about the competition. But Casamayor in his prime something similar to what Floyd did to him. So if his fans want to make excuses for him being 40 and losing to Bradley. Then that win against Casamayor isn't that impressive.
Please point out this "improvement" you speak of being that Marquez was getting beat up more than he has in any of their fights because he decided to sit on his punches, throw less and rely on the right so what are you talking about
He just became a smarter fighter overall.
I just think JMM is probably the best counter puncher in the game , maybe after Floyd. He doesn't do it like Rigo with blazing speed anf crazy cat like reflexes , it's different , I don't know how to describe it. I know you know what I mean. It's almost like a perfect symphony when he does it. It's all in one motion and very coordinated. And he has gotten better at it with age. It's like he has perfected his style it's flawless almost.
I'm not referring to stamina or power or speed.
Good post. Mayweather was better at 135 than he is now, I think JLC then was worse than Mosley now, but I still cant imagine Shane winning more than 4 rounds. Definitely gave me something to think about though.
I know , I think Mosley knows he cant become the hunter , but I think he will end up doing just that. And I hate to put the triangle theory into effect here , but if Cotto was able to time mosley pretty good and counter him and just pick his spots. I cant Imagine what Floyd will do. Well just have o wait and see
Wait what the hell? LOL Maybe, just MAYBE it would be kinda normal if you said Mosley is as fast as Floyd, but to say he's got better reflexes and he's quicker on his feet? WTF??? Either you're confusing pressure with footspeed, or you just have no clue what you're talking about. The hater don't call him Floyd Mayrunner for no reason. He may not be as quick on his feet as he was at 130, but to say Mosley's feet are quicker is flat out retarded. Mosley's legs are by far the
most aged part of his body.
And reflexes? What the hell? Mayweather has compubox records for making fighters miss. His entire style at WW works around timing and reflexes. He is known for landing flush punches and slipping away before a fighter can even extend their arms. When has Mosley done anythig like that? That's like saying De La Hoya had better reflexes than Pernell Whittaker...Wtf...Dude...WTF??
Im going to treat u nice because I can only imagine how ****ed up ur brain is.
The comparison is between Castillo and Mosley. Ok?! thank u , have a nice day.
Thats just crazy to compare them.
You can say MOSLEY as lightweight vs CASTILLO that fought FLOYD.
and MOSLEY would probably KO CASTILLO if you ask me!
First of all it wasnt a question , and second , Is not comparing who will win between them , but rather what Castillo was able to do to Floyd and if Mosley who is much better will be able to do the same , worst , or better. That was the question , comment , idea.
Damn I just wasted 59.99 so much for mayweather puting a show and knocking Mosley out. He didnt have the balls to engage and backpeddled all night. He is pretty awesome at backpeddling. If he backpeddles that way against pac hell get knocked out

Why didnt he just ask for a fight with the Pacman?? packy would of pushed his shit in!! True Story
Damn man , I swear if u would have said that in front of me I would have found a way to push UR shit in , so disrespectful man.
strange polling options....why not "1-5", "6-10"...etc
anyway he's around top 40-50 at the mo.
ur absolutely right bout polling options funny thing . Ithought that would be the best way nd then forgot to do it that way. My bad
Actions speak louder than words. And what are floyd actions lately. Why are annalists , journalist , even underground rapper all saying the same shit to him. Because they see the humble guys earning their respect and pride by trying to prove something with actions while u have this pretty money loving whore , self proclaiming he is the best and he doesnt give anybody a chance to prove otherwise. I personally feel like i can relate more to mosley , cotto even marg. Pac , clottey , and all those guys who are still in love with what they do and compete at the highest level possible without bringing drama. Yes drama is entertaining but to what extent. He has turned boxing into a soap opera where u have this guy holding a monopoly by just denying other fighters of their right to fight for a top spot. Is not that mayweather is bigger than boxing , is the fact that media has taking his mouth and his persona and twisted things around to the point where u have this guy at the end of the long table controlling the sport because they created this picture in his head saying he is god.
If there was only newspapers today and no internet , less people would hate floyd , floyd would be a much cooler guy. And he would have prob fought better opposition. But because of things like ppv , the ring magazine , espn , so many critics passing criticism on athletes the wrong way he is scared of the picture ending.
Floyd will never be bigger than the sport , the sport was here long before me and him and it will be here long after him.
U have guys like lebron , a-rod , who could very easily be bigger than their respective sport , but because its a "team" sport , and the fact that matches are mandatory , you will always have a big champion at the end of the season.
