Mayweather WILL retire undefeated. As much as many want to see him lose, there's nobody in the sport right now that can beat him. It's wishful thinking, but he's a total master in the ring. Forget about the boxing skills, he simply outsmarts other fighters...That's where he really beats you. These opponents look great against other fighters, then they get in the ring with Floyd and then you're like, "WTF?!"...always happens! NEVER pay attention to a previous fight when their next open is Mayweather. Throw that out the window!
Weight is a bit of an issue in boxing, but ultimately, skills pay the bills! Absolutely he should get credit for beating Matthysse at ANY weight. This is boxing! Barring an unforeseen KO, the better man will always win. I personally don't care about the weight they fight at. Whether Matthysse comes up or May comes down, I'll put my money on May!
It would definitely be competitive, but I see Khan getting stopped in that fight. Collazo is as tough as they come and I favor him in this fight big time! Very, very underrated fighter.
I don't know of any fighter who would turn down a Floyd mayweather bout...Because of Tests? Because of the money??
Name ANYONE right now who would pass on a Floyd fight??....
Manny is not a joke....it's Arum who's a JOKE!
But I think Floyd beats Manny easier than most think.
Absolutely laughable! Manny could fight Floyd 100 times and lose all 100 times!
Floyd is the best boxer ever and if Manny would have taken the test, we wouldn't be having this discussion...AGAIN!
Bradley beats Pac, either way, it's absolutely no shock to me! Bradley is that good! I know most feel Pac was robbed in the previous fight, but let's not act like Manny had an easy night either way. This fight will be telling...
WOW! You guys must really hate Floyd!...The hate must have been brewing that you had to come up with this thread! LMAO
THERE'S NO ONE OUT THERE FOR FLOYD!!!!!
No one!! All are hopefuls! I don't believe for a second that you guys REALLY think Pacquiao would beat him. He's just the only hope you guys think is left, but sorry...Hate Floyd or not, there's no one right now who can beat him!
It's funny how Maidana beats Broner and that ACTUALLY gave some people hope!!! LMAO
Of course!!! HBO has been doing that...check out this part of Mayweather vs Ortiz... (3RD ROUND about 10 seconds left)Mayweather lands a clear counter on Ortiz that knocked Ortiz off-balance, yet Lampley is heard crediting Ortiz for a punch he didn't land at all!!! That told me everything!

Yeah! It should be a great fight! I see Broner connecting more and at a higher percentage to win a UD. I think Broner would get a majority of the early rounds and win the championship rounds as well. A great fight I believe.
Well, you HAD to knock Ali out! And you DEFINITELY have to knock Floyd out. That's how you beat these guys! OK folks?! you now have the secret!
Says a lot about them doesn't it?...When your only chance of beating a fighter is to KO him, he's BETTER than you! Floyd the GOAT!
IMO Floyd's the G.O.A.T...It's about the skills(the best I've ever seen from past and present), He's the most complete fighter ever:
Speed, quickness, balance, ring IQ, decent power, extremely sharp and accurate punching, master of defense, and excellent counters!
But the MAIN REASON I believe he's the greatest of all is because of what he brings to the sport! No he's not bigger than boxing, but he's BIG for boxing. Whether you want to see him win, or you want to see him lose...YOU'LL WANT TO SEE HIM! Floyd Mayweather brings such an attraction even with that " Bad Guy " image!
Agreed. They can't respect a fighter learning all aspects of boxing and what it takes to become a complete fighter. They and most people want to see slug fests...mostly fighters without much ability and obviously don't care if they lose or not...Just as long as they "please the crowd"!
There's no longevity in those type of fighters and HBO doesn't really care...take out the old and bring in the new. As long as you bring us excitement...if not, we'll bad mouth you and look toward another crowd pleaser...EVEN THOUGH YOU"RE STILL WINNING!
Ha. The benefits of internet...people can voice there opinions and show their true colors without being seen. Everyone who has negative posts should be very thankful!
People can agree with Pac's excuse but not Floyd's? Obviously if the test were taken we wouldn't be having this discussion...no matter who won the fight. Regardless of what anyone says, Floyd's style presents a problem for anyone. Because he can move and out box any fighter. When he tries something different like going toe-to-toe(Shane Mosley, Corley fights)...you have a chance against him. But when he boxes...which must fans don't like, he beats anyone. Your chance is for Floyd not to fight his fight and get caught with a big shot. Otherwise, you're not going to out-box Floyd. The truth is, if Floyd just boxes, he beats Pac and everyone else in an easy "boring" fight. Going toe-to-toe with Pac or any other boxer is not smart...even though it's crowd pleasing.
It's all fight hype! When the smoke clears Floyd just has another victory! His ring IQ alone will be too much for Ortiz. Ok, we know what you want to do in the ring vs Floyd, but when the bell rings it's a different story...your game plan is out the window. The only person that will be broken down will be Ortiz IMO.
I would love to see these two fight very soon as well! I wonder what everyone will say after Floyd beats Cotto...will just have to face the facts!! lol!!
I think Garcia deserves a shot at the Mayweather sweepstakes as much as anyone! I guess this fight is a break for him, but it would be good if he fought Floyd next or a least another big name to build up promotion for a future bought with Floyd.
No Floyd is not bigger than the sport. But let's use our heads here... I don't see anything wrong with those specific demands and don't you think boxing should use OST on the regular? Who would it hurt? Definitely not you and I...the ones who are just watching for entertainment.
Anyone can say what they want, but I can't see the big deal to agreeing to the tests. The excuses from Pacquiao for not taking random style are lame! Let's truly be honest...If it were Floyd with those excuses, he would be hung! OK, something like the money split is something to negotiate. But taking blood tests, for the good of both fighters and the sport, shouldn't be a negotiation. And of course it looks more crazy because of the magnitude of this fight and the money involved for testing to even be a negotiation.
