Ward...WE ARE ALL CONFUSED AS TO HOW THE WBC WORKS!:nonono:
so is this a Vacant Bout for Dawson? WTF? Then how can the WBC just FORCE THEIR WAY into match ups lol
Williams would beat Canelo
you have to be a very good COUNTER PUNCHER and have excellent TIMING like Martinez and Lara to beat Williams and off set his high work rate or have the footwork to stick and move like Quintana in the 1st Fight and even Quintana has pretty good timing and can counter punch
I also notice that Canelo slows down late in fights, even old Shane Mosley starting landing good clean shots late in that fight, can't get tired against Williams style
12 Round against Cotto showed my what Mayweather COULD HAVE DOWN most of that fight if he wanted to
but he told fans he would go toe to toe and he did that, as far as getting hit more...other then Mosley in the 2nd Round he is still not getting hit with Damaging/Big Shots, Mayweather can stand in the pocket and he can even fight with his back against the Ropes and still make his opponents Miss...A LOT!
You know your a great fighter when you can fight MULTIPLE STYLES AND STILL COME AWAY WITH A COMFORTABLE WIN...not many fighters can do that in boxing today, unless a flat footed face first Brawler is in front of them, a lot of these fighters today won't look good at all
anselmo moreno
damn I forgot about Moreno, he is probably already on some P4P Top 10 list though, if not then he will be very soon
his probably will be landing big matches though, he will be avoided by many
I support Manny 100% on this topic as well, it is crazy the amount of people who are basically SELLING THEIR SOULS and going against what they believed all these years (especially if you call yourself Christian) to now compromising and being willing to look past things that are in the very Bible they study from
I hope Manny don't back down off of his stance either because he really did not say anything offensive, that is HIS OPINION!
The Easiest Solution? GET BOB ARUM OUT OF THE WAY!
I think Mayweather would compromise his % Split with Arum out of the way...I think Mayweather just has a problem with the Thought of Arum making money off of him...AGAIN
The Cotto fight got done with no problem and Cotto got some % of the fight, things went smoothly in negotiations without Arum...imagine if Cotto would have stayed with Arum and tried to do the Mayweather fight, the fight would have never gotten done
Just like Berto, Lamont Peterson also was suspicious of Amir Khan and demanded Vada testing for the rematch.
Its funny cause the saying goes it takes one to know one, so because they are juicing they think the other guy is, This is why Floyd is suspect to me its like point fingers first so known suspects you even though you are using. Floyd acted like he didnt know what TRT was and he is the guy talking all about power pellets.
if he wasn't already doing harder testing then yeah maybe I would be more suspicious, but unlike Peterson and Berto, Mayweather been doing testing his last 3-4 Fighters
saying you want tougher test is one thing, actually doing it is another...
EVERYBODY SHOULD BE DEMANDING FULL RANDOM TESTING!
lol Your PRIDE is making you DELUSIONAL!
its ok I was like that for Lara vs Molina...but after watching the fight again...NO QUESTION LARA LOST THAT FIGHT to Molina and was BLESSED TO GET A DRAW...as a Boxing fans FIRST...I CAN ADMIT THAT
but anyway...Cotto wasn't landing much during those Flurries, only thing that was landing consistently for him was the Jab, the rest of the few punches that would sneak past, Mayweather was taking a lot of steam off of those punches because of his outstanding defense and his consistent rolling and getting low
yes while watching live and listening to the crowd and Lampley overreact to every punch Cotto threw...yeah after watching live I also thought the fight was much closer...then after watching it again this morning I had it 9-3 Mayweather instead of 7-5 while watching it live and getting caught up with the Crowd Reaction and Lampley constant drooling over Cotto
But Major Props to Cotto...HIS EFFORT made the fight look closer then what it really was
Mayweather vs Cotto II if he lose tonight of course, if he wins then:
Mayweather vs Robert Guerrero (if he beats Aydin for the WBC Intern and Mayweather wants to return to Welterweight and keep his WBC Belt), could be like his tune up fight coming out of jail I think
Mayweather vs Winner of Berto vs Ortiz
Mayweather vs Canelo next Cinco De Mayo
Mayweather vs Khan(if he beats Peterson) or Peterson(if he beats Khan) or Devon Alexander
I think those are REALISTIC POTENTIAL MATCHES, Mayweather vs Pacquiao not happening until Pacquiao ups and leave Bob Arum like Oscar, Mayweather and Cotto did
its 3 Months...NOT 3 Years it will have NO EFFECT at all, of course some will be hoping, wishing and praying but 3 months is just not long enough for it to effect him
but I think either the judge cuts him a break and don't send him to jail or he gets out much faster then people think
of course he doesn't move as fast as he use to...but Mayweather still have good footwork, not sure what you consider footwork but Mayweather had no problem moving around the ring with he had to do so, look at the 12 Round he went back to sticking and moving and went into a Roy Jones style with his Hands Down and was tagging Cotto
when it comes to Mayweather I think people are OVERLY CRITICAL OF EVERYTHING HE DOES!
Actually I think he would be willing to give up some of his % WITHOUT ARUM BEING INVOLVED
Cotto is getting a % his fight with Mayweather!
Its said how people complain about Arum, but then when Mayweather is against him, people want to jump on Arum side :nonono:
Nobody is taking Arums side. But everyone knows this fight cannot be made without Arum
To make such a request is beyond ridiculous
and the fight can't be made with him, so the fans Lose!
just Ironic how Mayweather vs Cotto fight gets done as soon as Cotto LEAVES ARUM, if that is not a tell sign then I don't know what is, but I get it, people don't like Mayweather so hating him and putting all the blame on him is the EASY THING TO DO!
Emmanuel is so biased it's not even funny. How many times did steward say "those punches didn't really land" or when the replays only show Mayweather highlights. He was so pro Mayweather time for new analyst.
lol at Steward being "PRO MAYWEATHER" hahaha
Why can't it just be that he was ring side and had a better view then the viewers at home...Just Saying!
And how about Lampley OVERREACTING TO ALL OF COTTO PUNCHES?
lol as long as Mayweather is getting paid and winning...I seriously doubt he cares what anybody thinks about him now, its a lot of fighters PAST AND PRESENT that WISH they was in his position (HATTON INCLUDED)
Pacquiao OF COURSE!
love Gary Russell Jr explosiveness! because of his hands speed he is able to rattle off sick combos but still be able to avoid punches and use good Defense
Gamboa OF COURSE!
Bradley also! Timothy has an amazing head/body combo he uses and also that extremely fast and explosive OVER HAND RIGHT that has knocked back or staggered every opponent he faced
I agree with Berto and Khan and some of the other fighters that been posted already
I would agree with Brad Solomon if he didn't go missing for a year after the Demetrius Hopkins fight, but Solomon has that length, hand speed, foot speed and guy that is constently moving similar to Emmanuel Augustas/Burton who Mayweather still say was his TOUGHEST FIGHT
I would say Lamont Peterson and Timothy Bradley because both can apply serious pressure and both can be vicious body punchers, not only that but both guys will is hard to break, I seen both get dropped with good shots but then hop right back up and make the adjustments they need to make and either found a way to win or a way to get back into the fight
Robert Guerrero because he is skills and he is not going to be a guy just chasing a KO, the guy can actually BOX as well as trade with you
Amir Khan has the SPEED...but I don't think he has the Physical or Mental toughness, he would start off well then Mayweather with his speed and jab, but Mayweather would start to pick him apart and maybe even stop him with accurate shots to that Weak Chin
most of the other fighters fans are just depend on Power and a Lucky Punch so they keep wanting to see him against fighters with POWER...I want to see Mayweather in with another well rounded SKILLED BOXER then it will be a Chess Match
He IS going to jail no matter what he does. Well unless he drives off a cliff ala Monzon.

AGAIN...it is 3 MONTHS...NOT 3 YEARS! He can't fukin complain nor should he feel sad, he is lucky he only got 3 MONTHS!
Broner did call Eloy Perez a "BEAN BURRITO EATING DUDE", that video was on youtube for a few months and nobody made a big deal out of it
but neither Khan or Broner are important enough for anybody to care to be honest lol had Mayweather posted or said something like that, it would be "BREAKING NEWS ON ESPN" and their TOP STORY lol
OMG that doesnt matter
Fight CANNOT be made without Arum. Floyd knows that, you know that, i know that, even yesir knows that. Him saying that Atum has to be out is simply hilarious
so everybody just just submit to Bob Arum and do things his way? that is NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN so NO FIGHT!
that comes off as a little DESPERATE THOUGH!
clearly Martinez and DiBella is just looking for any type of BIG PAYDAY!
It water down the match up to me if Martinez has to Drain Himself
going to be positive and wish for the best for both fighters, unlike these other CHILDISH HATERS who are hoping that these guys Go Broke :nonono:
I see Mayweather and Haymon teaming up like Shaefer and Oscar and building up Mayweather Promotions actually, so he will continue to be apart of boxing (HOPEFULLY)
Pacquiao will probably be back in the Philippines and getting further involved with Politics I think, could also try to Promote some fighters from the Philippines
see how a lot of fighters today don't know how to fight inside nor do they know how to stop their opponent from clinching
Ward will continue to dominate IMO! Plus he already has a "FIGHTER OF THE YEAR" award so he has a head start over the rest
We saw this fight already in gamboa vs salido. Only this time the opponent is bigger and stronger in Broner. Salido is my boy, but he should look elsewhere
I was going to post the exact same thing! I Agree with that 100% But Salido is so relentless and tough, it would be a very tough fight for Broner
that is a huge match up, I would love to see it!
they always do this BS, trying to match up Countrymen to fight each other, I remember people was trying to hype of Gamboa vs Rigondeaux
Quillin should fight Lara but Canelo, Chavez, Kirkland, Martinez don't have to fight him? :nonono:
Basically trying to use them to keep each other down, as someone mention that is exactly what happened with Alexander vs Bradley...that fight should have never happened so soon...BRADLEY WAS 100% RIGHT!
