At first glance, I figured a match between he and Mikkel Kessler was compelling......but not after I saw what he did to pemberton tonight.
I realize Pemberton might not be in the same leauge as Kessler.....but simply being a tall rangy super middleweight will not cut it against Lacy.
If they fought, I think it would be one sided.
I initially said Lacy would pound out a decision win over Kessler....but now I think he will simply knock him out in the early rounds.
Along with Calzaghe.
Joe stands virtually no chance against this monster.
In fact, I think everyone short of Cruiserweight would lose.
Tarver, Johnson, Hopkins, Taylor,
all of them. Forgettaboutit. I'm not kidding either.
:rofl: :rofl:
Of course it will.
So whats the deal 4 years ago Margarito was as vocal as Akon since 2008 he hasnt dared to utter Floyds name.
The fight can be made. Maybe in Mexico in Azteca.
Wrong my friend.
Cant really compare those stadiums to this one:
http://www.football-pictures.net/data/media/538/Estadio-Azteca-stadium.jpg
Margarito vs. Mayweather in Azteca Stadium? Floyd wouldnt be interested in all that potential cash? 100,000 seat arena and PPV's?
Why do you think he keeps mentioning he will fight in the UK real soon? So he can fight in Wembley.
wow , double standards , floyd gets a pass for a margarito fight but Pacquiao doesn't?
We speaking present tense. When pbf came back, he should have been automatically put back at the top but we all wondered what that matchup would look like. Right?
why? when you leave the sport on the top you don't come back on the top 2 years later by virtue of being there in the first place , you have to earn it , i give floyd credit , he's pound for pound #2 and i think he'll beat pac but you arguement that pacquiao is only there because the public want him to fight floyd is ludicrous , he earned that spot by fighting tough competition and affirmed his position by dominating guys who we would never think he'd stand a chance against ,
IMO, pacq is only #1 so the public can pressure him into fighting him. The thing is, this is the last guy that he would fear or lose to. pacq is a bigger hypejob than pbf. The only difference is that one has skills and the other has PEDs(allegedly)
Pac was pound for pound number one before people even dreamed of him fighting floyd . FAIL.
wait! floyd is a known cherry picker, right? so after pbf retired pacq fought the same cherry picked opponents after the fact, right? and on top of that he may have had help with weight clauses and peds. Outside of alleged ped use, pretend it never came up. wtf has he really done to warrant his p4p status?
when the hell did i say anything about floyd being a cherry picker ? didnt i just say i give floyd credit ? wow terrible post , it didnt address anything i posted in response to you before . If You can't see what pac has done to warrant p4p status you're an idiot . What does it matter anyway ? judging by your sig you're not going to change your mind about pac in the face of any logic i post . Your'e just a hater plain and simple.
they probably wanted someone who would still fight even if his left leg was cut off , given the dissapointments in the tournament
respect to the road warrior , he deserves it , hope he makes the weight fine
But people are like Pascal absolutely crushed Dawson or ruined him. When in fact I think Pascal won't be the same fighter after the punches Dawson hit him with in the later rounds. I think in a rematch and neutral place where the fans won't go "wow" for every Pascal punch, Dawson will win.
:lol1: is that all it takes to destroy a fighter nowadays , getting stunned? in that case floyd will never be the same after the mosley fight
and out of curiosity who did you have ahead before the fight was called to a halt ? i think your putting too much emphasis on punch stats because anyone with a working set of peepers could see pascal was winning , who was winning was not what the little controversy was about but rather the ref's decision to call a doctor
when a heavily hyped and favourite to win fighter loses or gives a sub par performance they get criticised and in dawson's case a lot of people thought he would have ko'd pascal in the lat 2 rounds , i don't see where your getting this notion that people thought he was crushed ' lots of people think he's going to win the rematch
punch stats don't tell the whole story , i remember 3 different rounds where pascal buckled , dawson or had him hurt , pascal was clearly ahead and was good at stealing rounds by throwing a burst of punches at the end . I also think pascal threw dawson off a little by moving and making dawson make mistakes. I still think pascal wins a rematch.
I don't remember many people saying dawson got destroyed , more were saying he would have ko'd pascal in the 11th had the ref not called the doctor . If they did it was probably because of the hype surrounding dawson , pascal didn't get enough credit ( he lost to carlf froch!!!!!)
Because neither Klit has ever taken a knee to the face.
Or an elbow to the jaw.
and velasquez has never taken a punch from an elite heavyweight boxer , if both klits met velasquez in a dark alley like you say i'd bet my house that cain would get starched
congrats to the new ufc heavyweight champ anyway
cheato was drained.
pac looked bigger than cheato in the weighin and in the fight...explain that you fukking pactards
dude was drained
get this mans head out of floyd's ass fast
Seriously what?
I clearly stated Manny is the man. I'm not going to sit idly by while I read a host of retards claiming that he'd knock Mayweather out.
That's just retarded. And won't happen.
well that's your opinion
me, i wouldn't think it would be outside the realm of possibility that manny would knock out floyd , after all this is elite level boxing , seems your getting pissed off cuz people have differing opinions to yourself
btw the wife beating thing made me lol
As I have been labeled this many times in NSB, I just wanted to clear a couple things up. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is an all time great fighter. Manny Pacquiao is an all time great fighter whom until tonight I placed slightly below Floyd due to the losses/KOs.
Manny beat the s*** out of Margarito tonight. I expected Manny to win but I actually bet on Tony because I got +400. I also took Dwyer's advice and straddled with the "over" prop since it was better than even money.
I will hold true to my beliefs that Floyd Mayweather is the best TECHNICAL fighter. I will also say that I now believe Floyd vs Manny WOULD be close and I'm only slightly leaning towards Floyd, mainly due to his countering skills.
I might catch a lot of scrutiny because I would now say Manny has to be in the top 5 P4P GOATS, with Floyd lingering somewhere between 10-20 (AT THIS POINT).
Finally: Although Manny looked super in the fight tonight winning virtually every round, A closer look will reveal flaws that could potentially be exploited. Manny got hit a lot tonight and he found himself against the ropes a couple too many times in my opinion. As of today's date: 11/14/10, Manny Pacquiao is the best P4P AND WW/JMW on the planet and I expect him to stay that way. The MAIN person I see that conceivably dethrone Manny is PBF. But from what I hear, PBF MAY POSSIBLY be headlining fights from prison before too long.
The Other 2: Sergio Martinez- While I do not believe Manny will fight anybody bigger than Margarito, Sergio possesses the style to give Manny problems. The only thing that I wonder about in this fight is the southpaw vs southpaw matchup. Sergio Martinez and Floyd Mayweather are about the best ring technicians IMO. It will take somebody with a very high boxing IQ to beat Manny. My final opponent, yet another southpaw, wait for it......Paul "The Volume Puncher" Williams. I think that nickname fits him better. Honestly I think Manny would tie Paul in knots and have a field day with him. So Floyd and Sergio I believe are the only logical opponents for Manny to face that would present major problems.
i was about to stop reading there lol
and i agree floyd manny would be close with a slight edge to floyd ,
don't see manny or floyd fighting sergio or paul
yeah you've got to give carl credit for his mentality and resolve , if only dirrell had some of it or carl had dirrells speed and athleticism . I still dont think he makes it to the final though
stupid pactards in this thread making fun of ticket sales , i dont care if the arena is half empty ,as a BOXING FAN i just care about seeing a great fight , it'll be a much better fight than pac vs clottey
Steward has also said that Haye would get KOed by Wlad in 4, so I'm sure you agree with that, too?
Oh and don't nitpick, in that interview Steward says that if Wlad keeps dominating 2 or 3 more years he'll be an ATG, you agree with that too, right?
i agree with most of what steward says including beating haye . Steward also said that he doesnt see the division getting better for at least five years so wlad will become an atg for beating a weak heavyweight division fo 2/3 more years?
lmao the klit fans or fan who have many alts just got owned. all that rubbish that the brothers fought good fighters has been ripped apart by steward.
klit is a nobody and has fought nobodies. that is the truth and nothing but the truth
i wouldnt go that far , sure its a weak division but you cant ask for much more than dominating wins however i agree that anyone saying the klits have great resumes are deluding themselves
Floyd fans are just as guilty of this, in fact many of them are gloating about PPV numbers which is just as stupid.
my post was really one sided but yeah the floyd fans are just as bad if not worse , why cant anybody just be happy this is happening?
So? It was what Joe Louis did. Maybe you only agree with Steward on the points that fit your agenda?
didnt i just say i agreed with most of what steward said ? i was just pointing out that you were picking and choosing points in the article by pointing out that steward said that wlad would be an atg in 2/3 years if he continues dominating but ignoring the fact that he said that the division was the weakest he had ever seen it , so does dominating a weak division make you an atg ?
Anything for you baby. What else you want me to do, I can wash your dishes real good, sweep the house, throw away the trash. I can do everything Shane was too busy for.
:rofl: :rofl:
no shame in maidana's loss , both guys were great , we need more fighters like el chino

Ulli Wegner pulled out the last drop of confidence out of Abraham's body by publicly calling him a yellow coward after the fight and even reiterating his comments the next day to german media.
Abraham himself cancelled his flight home to Berlin and instead booked a seat on a plane carrying his fans back to Germany. Onboard the plane a remorseful AA excused his performance big time.....
lol , damn do you have a link?
a promising start turned into a below par finish for ortiz , such a dissapointment , he could have made a real statement tonight , i guess the ghosts of maidana are still there because he seems too passive at times , vic definantely has the ability though and IMO he should have gotten the decision
