:ugh: you know what i mean. Oscar looked better against Floyd because he lost a split decision, he was knocked out by Hopkins so how did he look better in that fight? its obvious. that too complicated?
well, let's put it this way:
pound for pound, ignoring the middleweight/light-middleweight difference, and ignoring the result of the hopkins and mayweather fights:
which oscar would have had a better chance at beating floyd?
1. the 2004 oscar that fought bhop
2. the may 2007 oscar that lost to mayweather via split decision.
i dont know, it just seemed to me that the 154 may 2007 oscar seemed flatfooted, compared to the 160 2004 oscar.
can mayweather still have his hand-speed w/reyes gloves ??????
that's what i want to see come may 5th
pbf is going to feel the weight maybe after 6rds of 154lbs and reyes glove,
he says he does not care but it does make a difference,
i don't think the brand name of the gloves makes a difference to one's handspeed. the difference between the gloves is how the padding is distributed throughout the glove (reyes, less padding on knuckles, more on wrists).
floyd has used reyes before.
by the way, i think this will be the first time he uses 10oz gloves (i think 10oz. is the weight required by pros above the welterweight division.)
the sweet science doesn't always involve violence.
i understand why mayweather became more defensive as he moved up weightclasses. who wants to take hits from men naturally bigger than you?
today's hopkins, at the age of 42 (?), to me, is still pretty good.
today's jones jr., i can see a shot fighter, but not too much.
hopkins UD, 6 rounds to 4, if it's a 10-round fight.

There has been recent rumor that 2K sports may pick up the fight night franchise re-titled "HBO Boxing After Dark" scheduled for an early 2008 release and expecting to have either Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Jermain Taylor on the cover.
But Pacquiao and Marquez have unfinished business. It's a rematch that people want to see. And the only fight between those first four names that even came close to being disappointing was the rematch between Pacquiao and Barrera, which was decent despite its being a tactical bout.
seriously, that Draw they had back then, needs to be settled NOW!
Wow, is that shit true? In the other thread I just talked about how its kind of been a downward spiral for him since that fight. Damn, this shit is crazy
