I don't see the point in any of this, you guys think this is incouraging but it really just shows their is no point in Floyd making a with the top three welters.Cause all these interviews do is discredit anything he does.Even if he beats Shane,Manny or Cotto that win will be discredited as well. Haters will be Haters.
He gladly shut up Hatton for a huge payday much bigger then Mosley could ever bring even a prime Mosley.That leaves today's Mosley with nothing to offer he has losses and steriod claims against him. Even if Mayweather taxes that ass I guarentee that fight will be discredited to age and Floyd knows it.
I'll accept Floyd as soon as he gets back the attitude he had at 130 and 135, proving hes the best.
lol "1 fight back"
so, you're just going to dismiss the rest of his time at welterweight when he was ducking the challenges then?
The majority of Floyds opponents were smaller, do the research.
I'm a boxing fan, not a Floyd stan.
Thats a disgrace to boxing.
"I'm the best ever".
"so Floyd, just prove it".
"nah, I have money".
btw, I've always given the guy his just due,
but its 2009, not 2003.
Using your logic, Morales and Barerra are still the best small men around.
Which opponents were smaller, Marquez and Hatton, him and Judah were about the same size.
I agree with Samurai's post I don't Roach keeps bringing this shit up in interviews, I can understand the one thousand dollars to drop Manny in sparring because his partners could possibly do it. But only betting a few thousand on Manny to win by Knockout, TKO or stoppage only seems like an insult to his multi million dollar generating fighter.
A few posters have touched on a very good point, Khan's A-B hand speed is quicker then Mayweathers just like Zab Judahs is but Floyd disguises his speed well.Feinting and quick movement is what allows him to lead with whatever he likes.
You think that would be more one-sided than the supposed Pac-Dela Hoya mismatch?
No, but your other options are insulting, and Pacman will do better then everyone thinks. Strong, powerful, fast southpaw vs. a man that can't take body shots and tires down the stretch.If Pac does his job in camp with Freddie and takes some time to employ some head movement and defense, it's going to be hard nights work for Oscar and I don't know if he has it in him.
Watching smaller fighter is an acquired taste either you like it or its not your thing. But nobody can argue from bell to bell the lighter the weight the more the action.
Floyd would move in and out and break down Winkys body.The only thing that quick about Winky are his straight punches and Floyd would come underneath. Once Winky slowed down after 6 Mayweather would move inside and do damage with uppercuts and short right hand counterpunches.Without the distance Winky can't get off anything with enough sting to keep Floyd away.
Pay per view is only going to get used more often. Look at the Mayweather-Dela hoya fight. Over 2 million buys grossing over 120 million dollars. Everyone is to greedy to pass this up.
In all realism mayweather has this fight he is one of those fighters that can outbox every differant style. As Jim Lampley says "In all conventional wisdom" Hatton will be pushing this fight to the point of making it uncomfortable for Mayweather,but floyd has backed up in many fights and outboxed every opponent.Now if Hatton can keep that pace for 12 rounds he can smash up floyd bad, but if he cant which i dont think he can then it will become floyds fight round by round. I see it being a Mayweather - DLH all over again hatton will punch and punch and punch and floyd will box and box and box
If Pavlik comes to fight I dont see Jermain being able to deal with the workload that Pavlik hopefully will place on him.Remeber Jermains counter punching style works well against other fighters with the same style (ie Winky,Bernard)I just dont see him being able to keep pace with upwards of 100 punches that Pavlik puts full commitment into.
Floyds game is counterpunching he would time that jab and get body work done early therefore slowing Hatton even further and frusterating Hatton into a fit.
The only reason Arum is dissing Mayweather is cause as soon as Mayweather figured out that he could with no problem manage his own career,he dropped Arum as a promoter.It's dead obvious Arum is just sour that hes no longer making money off of the p4p best fighter today.
Isn't it amazing how Hatton drops one unpaid , shot, old man, and all of a sudden he is the greatest body puncher in the history of the sport??
Greatest post this week,Hatton has been claimed as the new demolishing body puncher after one win over an old and tired Castillo and if you ask me,it looked like Castillo could've gotten up but was just frustrated with his performance thus far in the fight.
Im not against your oppinion of JLC winning the bout but everyone has there own oppinion,why flush out an age old arguement to once again end the the thread with no clear winner choosen.The judges scored the fight that way that night,right or wrong its written in boxing history,and there have been alot worse decisions
If anyone has a high quality version of this fight listen to the stoppage the referee clearly says quote "I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH,I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH ZAB THATS IT" and thats all you can clearly here.Strong homo on the part of the referee.
I know this may affend some people but I feel Jose Luis Castillo had alot more In him it's not like a mexican fighter to stay down or even go down on a body shot,especially from some overweight british fighter.
Pernell Whitaker, he could fight on the inside, outside, throw combinations, he had the evasiveness of a freakin' rabbit, he had a good chin and he packed a punch.
Tiny little things set Floyd apart from Whitaker for me, things like the fact that Floyd is only considered evasive because he's a good judge of distance and timing, he's not naturally as slick or as quick as Whitaker, he doesn't mix it up as much as he should and he's vulnerable to the body.
Im a huge Mayweather fan,but its quite obvious Floyd's trying to replicate to a certain degree Pernell's defensive prowless.
I like how they are both gentlemen and can sit and have a conversation with each other in the same room,that shows alot most fighters cant treat there opponent with respect.
I can't imagine the amount of money these girls are being offered by Oscar to claim it was a joke.Anyways I always believed these were real he looks fucking blitzed in all of them,I just hope for Oscars sake they drugged him,if not this is major gay.
