Fact is, he didn't almost beat floyd.
It was clear to see that floyd won that fight, the split decision really flattered de la hoya.
On top of that, de la hoya was the much bigger man in that fight and floyd still beat him.
I think what you mean to say is, a prime de la hoya would whoop manny pacquiao's ass! Imagine pacquiao outweighed de la hoya on fight night, what a disgrace letting oscar in the ring in that condition.
Come on guys, I'm not calzaghe fan but give credit where credit is due. Calzaghe could walk into the super six tournament and beat everyone in it! No doubt it my mind.
Pacquiao can be beaten, easily by a fighter in his prime.....not over the hill.
Floyd will whoop his ass, anyone that thinks any different is crazy.
If the fight happens, I will be the first on here to say, " I told you so."
Then you can say to me.....blood testing weakened him and he was too small for mayweather. HAHAHAHAHA
So what Lol, its not a very impressive win when your dragging small guys upto your weight so you have all the advantages not only stylistically but also physically.
DLH was old though, he could not pull the trigger, Floyd would never of fought DLH at 154 if he had his reflexes about him.
Floyd only fights fights where by he has an angle in the fight, either weight, past prime fighters, just not elite, just lost, its always the same with him.
You are clueless, go check out the offical weigh in's for every mayweather fight, you willl then find out that in 90% of bouts, he was the smaller guy.
So you ae saying de la hoya was past it at 154? Wise up
Floyd fought the best in his era, simple as that. Also to say castillo was a b class fighter is a joke.
If mayweather for in the ring and fought 2 opponents at once, you would still find something to say bad about him.
Mayweather= the greatest fighter since sugar ray leonard.
it would say to me that he was vastly overrated considering how he never fought an elite fighter in their prime
He fought one of the best lightweights ever, castillo and after a very tough fight, fought him again!
He then fought knockout artist, deigo coralles. Everyone said coralles would beat him, floyd knocked him down 5 times.
He fought an unbeaten ricky hatton, an oscar de la hoya at 154, jesus chavez, arturo gatti, JMM and zab judah.
got outboxed by Judah for 4/5 rounds.
Yes and then floyd came back and whooped his ass.
Your thread is pure fail my friend!
yea i agree..his whole career has been based on being undefeated. without that their wouldnt be anything that speacial. just another ordinary fighter
Forget about floyds record for now, to say floyd is just another ordinary fighter is ridiculous, if you truely believe that your not a boxing fan!
Dude, ricky hatton was smaller than floyd? So ****ing what? Marquez is smaller too, so what? They were still rated at #2 p4p at the time.
Floyd was far smaller than de la hoya, but do you turn around and try to put oscar down for that?
Sad isn't the word!
Every boxer put in the ring with him simply could not beat him. Manny pacquiao on the other hand was ko'ed by a road sweeper, beat by morales and imo beat by marquez twice.
Calzaghe is right in what he says, froch has to be one of the worst world champions out there! I know dirrel's performance over froch wasn't the best, but he bloody landed more punch's and there should be the champion.
Im not a fan of calzaghe BUT calzaghe could come back and beat everybody in the super six tournament and thats a fact!
What is the point in even debating this?
Bob arum and the team of pacquiao are the biggest bunch of bull****ters in the sport of boxing.
Pacquiao will fight whoever he is told/allowed to fight, thats that.
Mcclellan was the hardest hitter we have ever seen, his punches were ferocious!
Here is an interview with benn, talking about mcclellan, his power and what happened after the fight.
Floyd is without a doubt the best boxer we have seen since sugar ray leonard. He has fought the best and beat them all.
Pacquiaos record consists of big names at the end of their carrers....morales, hatton, de la hoya and damaged goods cotto.
Its sad some people cant see the light....if floyd was killed tomorrow, he would get the respect he deserves, how sad is that?
On skills alone, he the greatest we have ever seen!
The Mayweather-Pacquiao dichotomy would be an interesting and timely choice of subject.
Too many lies and bull**** storys and the saga isn't really over.
Anyone else got any ideas?
Any other reccomendations?
The person in question must have heaps of materials about them on the internet etc and be famous in the outside world aswell as inthe boxing circle.
thanks
Floyd isn't boxing for fun for fame, its for money. Once his bank balance is at a level where he can definatley live like a god to the day he dies, he will call it a day and he isn't far away from it.
After cotto, floyd will fight one more at the most. I think he will try for pacquiao for the money, if it doesn't happen he will retire. I wouldn't put it past mayweather ended cotto's career in this fight, big payday for cotto, hes avenged his loss to margacheato, he could call it a day as well.
Nobody can beat floyd, not even martinez.
Damn, he beat his own father up? How on earth could you do that..
Got no sympathy for him though. He's mentally weak. He doesnt want to help himself. He just wants to live his life with drink and drugs and still be normal. It cant be done though. Ditto Gazza. These people cannot be helped.
His father was trying to take his money, he got what he deserved.
Carl wins tomorrow, then selby vs Carl in Belfast in the summer, can't wait!
Everywhere we gooooo, everywhere we gooooooooooo, it's the Ulster boys, making all the noise, everywhere we gooooo.
Ffs lads a week before he missed weight for his last fight he resigned as a director of cyclone promotions.
Cyclone promotions have been robbing him blind, he's probably had one of the worst deals in boxing.
He's broke free from money greed mcguigan.
Wilder is such a *****
He avoided mentioning AJ’s name, this past whole year he’s avoided it.....now in the past few days he just cannot keep talking and even saying make the fight. He didn’t believe deep down he could beat AJ, he believes he can now, the ducking *****!!!
Who does this midget think he is lol? You call no shots little man. Leo tells you where to fight and what to wear.
Frampton has been selling out venues for years, he just filled a 20,000 arena, selling out in minutes, that and his recent pay packet would suggest he is the main man.
Realistically Frampton will fight this faijita anywhere, he walked right into Scott quiggs hometown and beat him.
Lsc beats Frampton U.D.
Frampton avoided all the real challenges, had to get shown up in public in order to accept Quiggs challenge and then bored the fk out of everyone with a shyt fight. Barry Mcguigan protecting him, wont let him fight a real threatning opponent.
What crap are you talking?
Frampton called quigg out for the last 4 years, he wanted to fight him for the British title 4 years ago and quigg wouldn't take the fight. Come on, quigg did nothing in the fight bar get his jaw broken, it was a poor fight because of quigg. Frampton took the centre of the ring and the man who was supposed to knock him out was afraid to get hit!
That faijita Santa Cruz just beat a man Frampton beat twice and after that, quigg beat.
Can't wait to see faijita Cruz getting tagged hard.
