Danny Garcia definitely schooled me on how he would perform in his latest fights. I've always thought he had ok boxing skills, but he showcased his hands as well as power and a good chin in his latest outing. Also exposing some of Matthysse's flaws that will need to be improved since he wasn't able to break Danny down w/power. Let's see how far Danny can go, great fighter to watch. :boxing:

Stop dreaming angula the quitter is not beating canelo neither is Lara I know a lot of people here hate canelo when his only lost comes from a guy who makes everybody look ordinary canelo is the truth time will prove me right he ain't no hype job like Chavez jr!! War canelo::boxing: Bulked up record, all the hype to have people believe he had the skills to beat Floyd. Canelo really was a hype job to push the Floyd fight to record numbers. I also do not predict Angulo being a future star even if he beats Canelo.

Danny Garcia for me as well. I never thought much of him in the ring and even when he KO'd Khan I attributed that more to Khan's chin and bad gameplan than Danny's skills. Last year I got the impression he was scared of Matthysse and that put me off on being a fan. But he not only came through on fighting Matthysse, but then went on to school him. It was a really impressive win that opened my eyes to Danny. He's a very poised and comfortable fighter in the ring already and he seems like he has the right mentality to last a long time in the sport. Good post. Couldn't have said it any better.

Khan stops Lopez and makes it look easy... People.. Garcia V Khan 2 is a fight Danny would care less about seeing, knowing he stopped Khan in such a way. But this would be a great fight for boxing fans to see if Khan can avenge his loss.

Fight has potential, as Broner's name is still hot right now. Would be a good start for Khan to get back on top and put his name out there on a positive note. Broner has great hands and decent power to bring to the fight.

Power = Floyd Speed = Floyd Footwork = Floyd Activity/punch rate = Bradley Defense = Floyd Heart = Same Stamina = Same Chin = Floyd (has never been knocked down) Style = Floyd (Forces every fighter to fight his fight as this shows in their stats pre-Floyd and after-Floyd) Grit/Will/Determination = Same Confidence = Floyd Money = Floyd Age = Bradley Experience = Floyd Physique= Bradley Strength= Floyd Reflexes= Floyd

Fight was 50/50 in 09'-10' ya dumb cunt. Manny's older now, but still has the style to win on the cards. Mad enough to call the guy a cunt lol. Why though? He never had the style to beat Floyd, even back then. Pac made all of the relevant boxers at the time look soft, but Floyd is Floyd. The technical master who will slow your average punch rate down and do whatever has to be done to win. Let's just be honest. Pacman never had it, and if they do fight, he will lose in a lopsided decision. He definitely would not have knocked out Floyd if that was his other option of winning. Outpoint Floyd on the cards though!!!? :dead:

And Floyd's plan B of pressuring the southpaw wouldn't work on Pac. Pac would chew his ass up, and spit his ass out. And I feel like I'm talking to Larry's alt. Be a fuggin man and debate me 1 on 1. Stop using your corny alts ya pussi boy. I don't know Larry.. lol. 2nd, There isn't much to debate. Pacman was a great fighter back then in his prime, almost scary how good he was from 08-10. I'm reasonable, and if I thought Floyd had some kind of weakness in his game to lose to Pac I would admit it, I'm not that guy. Pacman has been knocked down numerous times, which is the cause of his fighting style of old. Pacman has been knocked unconscious with one blow. Pacman has valid losses besides the head scratching decision to Bradley. And his wars with Marquez. Mayweather has shown technically he is almost untouchable, and when he is touched, which is usually in the early rounds, he adapts quite well and starts to hold advantages over his opponents from then on. This is the average Floyd fight. Am I missing something? What is so special about Pac's style that will "expose" Floyd as they say? Is it his power? Pac is pretty powerful, but it is highly unlikely to knock out Mayweather with 1 punch, much less knock him down. Do you think he will land combinations on Floyd to finish a fight? This is highly unlikely as well. I guess this will boil down to the cards and winning by points. Floyd is a points boxer, that is what he does! That is what he is a master at, hitting and not getting hit, it is not very exciting, but it wins fights, and obviously to Floyd, this is very important. Maybe not to us boxing fans, because in my opinion, his fights can be boring! Who would not rather watch 2 guys fighting their hearts out barely edging one another out skill wise. This has been proving quite hard as finding a quality opponent to de throne Floyd's run. Pac is great, but he doesn't have the skillset to out point Floyd, therefore, I believe he will not only lose, but lose big on points. By the way, chill with all the trash talk, me and you are not the same when talking boxing kid.

Again, you still haven't counter argued a damn thing besides being basic. Just go to bed, Larry. Im suprised I wasted my time on the guy who believes Pac could beat Mayweather. Amazing..

Floyd is hard to oiutbox because he cares not one bit if the crowd are entertained. He also cares about self prerservation more than any other boxer. If he fougtht a featherweight boxer he would still be terrified to be hit, just like he didn't want to go after the smaller JMM. Sometimes when boxers are circling and not throwing punches the crowd starts booing sometimes because of no action, similar to awkward silences when two people have nothing to say to each other. Floyd would never feel awkward in those stand offs with boxers, whereas his opponent would probably throw a punch cos of what he thinks the crowd might think. Getting a bit deep here. So you might not outbox him but there are many boxers who coiuld beat the bejesus out of him, if only Floyd sought them, guys with good tanks and don't gas like the people he chooses. I have to ask, who are these "guys" with good tanks and great stamina that will beat the bejesus out of him? Nothing too exciting about Floyds fights, but the man will show you how to win and make the other guy's boxing skills look amateurish. He has proved this time and time again as a professional. Floyd is not a power puncher, he uses his skills to his advantage. A power puncher will use their power to their advantage, you won't see Rios attempting a technical boxing match with great defense and movement, hitting and not being hit, because he needs to have a strategy and skillset he can realistically use. Stop hating. Floyd Mayweather will not be beat to a pulp by anybody.

OK, now I know I'm dealing with a dumb ass. Read back your post, Larry. And p.s. you're a basic level thinker. You never counter argued any of my points. You just said, "KO, KO, lost to Bradley, blah blah blah." You're basic, Larry. That's why you use alts. :fing26: "He just doesn't have it, never did". Yeah, you're Larry. What were your points exactly? Floyd pressuring Pac!? That is Floyd's "plan b" to you? If Floyd did have to sink to a plan b, what makes you think "pressure" would be the answer? How about when you said Floyd puts his back to the ropes when he can't shut down a boxers offense? How has Floyd done in the past? Don't speak on fantasies, speak on truth, Floyd is one of the greats off of the ropes. Been having boxers punch their hearts out while he stands smiling. Floyd is a woman for tiring boxers while on the ropes?

Given their fighting styles, Ruslan can put on a show and force a stoppage. Matthysse is known for his power but looked weak against Garcia punch for punch, never phasing Garcia. Ruslan does not have near the skills of Garcia, but he is relentless with his power punches and Matthysse is not defensively sound. Ruslan by stoppage

Larry, get a life. You're weird, dude. You're literally a retard. You're not even breaking down or analyzing anything. You're using some beginner boxer rhetoric, and filling up the page so you can seem knowledgeable. This whole break down is, "Pac got KOd when he first started out, got KO'd by JMM, and "lost" to Bradley. Surely you can't be this dumb. This right here is why I know you don't know anything about boxing, and have no idea what critical thinking is. You have a basic mind, and can only analyze in basic ways. Yes, Floyd is a point fighter, that hasn't faced a damn person that could really test him. Again, your logic is basic. "Floyd is a point fighter, he can't be beaten on the cards." You're a very basic level thinker. Larry, stop using alts, and debate me 1 on 1. You can't. You're a basic level thinker, and I can clearly see that by this post. It literally has no substance, and only a bunch of words to make it look like you're saying something. Maybe I am being misquoted as being "Larry"? I never said a word about Pac being knocked out in the beginning of his career. 2nd, I never said I thought he "Lost" to Bradley. Now there is no denying a one punch sleeper, this really happened. Pacman's style is not a good mesh against Floyd's, it will eventually be proven as I believe the fight can still happen. Floyd's pot shots and defense will take over the fight. I'm sorry, your guy loses, he just doesn't have it, never did. :dead:

Brandon Rios uses his supreme athletic agility to box circles around Floyd -- darting in and out quickly while getting his 7 punch combos off at virtual will. Rios 11-1 UD. I 2nd this..

Floyd has nothing else to prove.

More like 147.. People on this site man :thinking:

Already in the end of the second round Garcia was already timing and not getting hit as much against Khan. Khan did better but he was getting hit and many times he was only hitting Garcias gloves and added a few head butts that he usually does in fights. People make it sound here like Khan didn't get hit in the first two rounds and Garcia did nothing but take punches. The next thing I'm going to hear that it was a lucky punch Nobody said khan wasnt getting hit. But he was definitely handing out the bigger punishment, making Danny's boxing skills look subpar. Not a lucky punch that was dished off by Danny, just a perfectly timed shot that took advantage of Khans careless boxing. I cant argue what could have happened. A rematch would be something to see..

going the Maidana route ,might be perfect for him, a great chance at winning a title in a second weight division against a guy I believe he can beat and beat well. I really like watching Garcia and he deserves more praise than he has been receiving, people forget that 99% of observers thought Matthysse would destroy Garcia, yet Garcia beat him to such an extent that the Matthysse hype train has been permanently derailed. I want at least 3 fights from Danny in 2014. I also see Danny easily beating Maidana, nice post. Too bad Maidana will not be his next opponent due to the Broner rematch.

It's a simple question. Answer either Floyd Or Pacman. We don't need an explanation as long as a chapter. My answer: Floyd Mayweather

So you're telling me Khan, a guy Garcia knocked out deserves a rematch, but not Matthysse? How do you figure that? Not saying he deserves it, but Khan was boxing the brakes off of Garcia, was he not? Not to take anything from the way Garcia won, he finished him. Khan should definitely try to avenge that loss if the opportunity knocks. As far as Matthysse, I stick by what i said, thoroughly beaten the entire fight. No way he can win, he doesnt have the skills. Khan on the other hand has a chance to win a rematch.

Unless Khan is hurt bad enough to call off the fight his fight with Mayweather will happen and Mayweather and Schaefer have known this for months. Khan will doing his dances in May with Floyd. If Mayweather doesn't knock out Khan for whatever reason, this can be a great fight to watch as Khan will bring the pressure. Will be interesting to see how this fight ends up if Khan is able to stay on his feet.

To the guy that said Khan is gonna bring pressure. Just stop...plenty of pressure fighters do not bring it once they taste a couple counters from Floyd. They are scared to throw, and Khan will be no different. When i said pressure i do not mean power puncher pressure such as every boxer they have thrown at Floyd. Khan will push the fight to Floyd and has the boxing ability to do so. I just didnt think i would have to explain that, but then again.. I remember the boxing smarts of people on here. :nonono:

Porter, Lara, Thurman.. Amir Khan rematch would be great as well. No reason to give matthysse another chance, he thoroughly out boxed him.

Yea, I've already seen Floyd-JMM. Do I want to see an even more mismatched version of Floyd-JMM? Floyd-Maidana would be a snoozefest. I don't mean to be arrogant, but how could anyone not familiar with boxing not realise this? Khan is a better fight, style wise, money wise. Now I'd like to see Floyd deal with GGG. But that's not fair to put on Floyd. Floyd's a Welter. Just because he fought at MW before, doesn't mean he has to fight every dangerous MW. I agree. People will think you are crazy for saying this about Maidana simply because he exposed Broner's chin by knocking him down, and like to compare Broner to Floyd. Why? I have no idea. Maidana did not knock out the supposed glass jaw Khan. But for whatever reason he will shock the world by stopping the sturdier boxing wizard Floyd Mayweather :dead1:

opponents that would surprise me: Porter, Garcia or Lara. There's no other obvious choice, besides Khan. Garcia is the only $ maker of the pack you mentioned, as far as promotion goes. Garcia is out of the picture after his dad made it clear they are in no rush to face Floyd. They have to keep that "0". It is pretty much Porter and Lara who? As far as the paying public is concerned at least. Goldenboy will be able to promote the hell out of this fight for Khan, highlighting his speed and footwork as well as his boxing skills. Both also speak english so the trash talk will reach a high, further promoting the fight, starting the promotional merry go round we are very familiar with in every mayweather fight. The fight is going to do big numbers no matter what any of the Floyd haters say.

I seriously don't get what peoples obsession is with Mayweather and announcing his fights, just leave him to it, he is fighting in May and they would have to announce it when they feel ready, it gets boring with fans making threads, updating "us" on what when how something was said regarding his opponents. People should just ignore him till we know who he would be fighting. Promotion is what builds Mayweather. This post is not going to stop his movement..

He needs to fight Erislandy Lara, or even Shawn Porter/Marcos Maidana. The Khan fight is a ***** fight. Lara and Porter are GREAT fighters, but are not yet popular enough to help raise PPV numbers. Maidana is forced to rematch Broner. Maidana V Floyd would have been a very one sided fight anyways. It would have ended up looking something like Garcia V Matthysse if not worse. I cannot say the same for Lara or Porter. Both Great fighters that could pose a threat in the way they fight.

Khan V Mayweather.. Finally. All I need is for Pac V Prov to be announced to get hyped for this year of boxing.

I love that you can put Provodnikov's name into any match up and instantly think to yourself "man I wanna see that!" Such a great addition to world boxing, shame we wont be able to see him against some of the warriors in the GB stable. Yea no joke. The guy has a combination of insane power, speed, and a granite chin (so it seems), can't wait to see who he fights next. If he was to gain weight in the future, it would be incredible to match him up against triple G, that's only a dream though, fight would be illegal..

Once Floyd retired and Broner fought and beat Danny Garcia, he can be fighter of the year but fighter of the decade, highly doubt. I can't see Broner beating Garcia, no way.. Broner definitely received a hype job because of his flashy ways and being compared to Floyd. We will soon see. I don't care for Broner, but I can see him at least beating Maidana, and showing his skills if he was to fight Matthysse in the future.
