it's debatable, but i think floyd beats vernon forest with relative ease. forest was outboxed and knocked out by ricardo mayorga. that was the same version of vernon forest that beat shane.
mayweather-forest would have been a stinker w/floyd winning.
winky would have given floyd problems, but lets not get carried away here. winky is too big for floyd.
i will say this though: the only guy on floyd's resume that would possibly have beaten mosley is jlc at 135. maybe.
Cotto is great, but he's getting KTFO by Pacquiao. Pacquiao has barely felt a punch in his last three fights. Contrast that with Miguel Cotto's last three.
Also Cotto's style is somewhat tailormade for Pacman. Look at how Cotto bends his entire upperbody over his lead foot. Pacman will not miss him with left hands coming straight down the pipe.
I just don't see too many ways Cotto wins this fight. He can't afford to take damage from Pac b/c he's already somewhat BUSTED (thanks to margs and clottey).
Pac will finish him off in devastating fashion. I won't be happy b/c Cotto is a warrior and I wish his mgmt team were smart enough to match him with Berto instead of Pac.
that's actually not a bad matchup. it all depends which donovan we're talking about.
if you're talking about the donovan that was trained by floyd patterson then i'll go with wlad by ko. patterson totally ruined ruddock.
now if we're talking about the ruddock that fought in two memorable wars with tyson and also knocked out michael dokes then i'll take razor by early ko.
JT has the talent, but he's not going anywhere with Ozell Nelson in his corner. It's a crying shame that JT has been a pro for 9 years now and he still has STAMINA issues.
If Taylor trained properly he'd be undefeated.
I see Taylor getting KTFO once again by someone in this tourney because dude is not in world class shape.
Honestly, I saw slight slippage in the Forbes fight and obviously the Manny Pacquiao fight was the fight we all saw it.
Oscar has always been such an up and down fighter, it's really hard to tell when he truly began to decline.
I actually heard Hopkins the other night. He was commentating for some fight on the Versus network.
Hopkins is very keen and intelligent.
He's going to need to be trained a lil better though before he works for HBO.
Damn! That was a brutal KO! Ortiz seems like the total package. We'll have to wait and see how that chin is and how he performs under pressure. I can't wait till he steps the competition up a notch.
Mosley ko'ing Margarito. It was awesome watching Margarito getting his whiny, no sportsmanship showing, cheating ass STOMPED out by KO!
Second would be Rahman's KO over Lewis. It was wonderful seeing Lewis get that smug look knocked right off his face.
Third????
Mayweather TKO'ing Corrales. RIP Chico!
BTW Floyds chin is a ?
Could be below average, Could be Iron
We don't have consistent evidence
My hunch is that its solid, nothing special but not Amir Khan level either
I saw him eat power punches from Jose Castillo, Zab Judah and De La Hoya. His chin is as proven as any boxer fighting today = including Bernard Hopkins.
No but I did cry when Patrick Ewing missed a bunny against Rik Smits to eliminate the Knicks from the playoffs.
That was my last year as a die-hard Knicks fan.
LOL! My last year as a hardcore Knick fan was the year they made it to the NBA Finals with Marcus Cambly, Sprewell, Allan Houston, etc...
Patrick Ewing pissed me off when he refused to return from injury and play in the NBA Finals. I was done with him and the team after that.
everyone ducked Williams, even your god Floyd. Would you like for me to quote Paul calling out Floyd?
What does this have to do with Floyd? My God! You guys are freakin ADDICTED to Floyd Mayweather's jock. Obsess much? Geez!
Floyd wants Matthew Hatton next.. Not Mosley..
You know as well as anybody else that Floyd is not and will not fight a BUM like Matthew Hatton next.
Did you hear Floyd himself say he's fighting Matthew Hatton next? I haven't.
yeah what a douche, that roider should have chosen option C - fighting a lightweight near welterweight and coming in 2 pounds over the limit.
Why can't you dopes get Mayweather off the brain? Is he that magnetic? Seriously?
Pac can fight Yuri Foreman next while Floyd fights Shane Mosley next and the Pac-RETARDS will still find away to build Yuri up while writing Mosley off.
They are blinded by the sweat from Pac's jock. Forgive them.
