Mayweather Expectations?

[Welter_Skelter]

can you see him getting SPARKED like audley ?

Audley was domintaing that fight.. He either just got caught.. or he has a glass jaw.. He didnt get spanked..

I think he runs a very serious risk of ketting KO'd
I thinkhe is too small DLH has a serious height and reach advantge..
and if CHOP CHOP could wobbel him at 140.. what is he going to do when DLH connects..??? and make no mistake.. DLH WILL connect

In short I think he is TOO small to fight at 154..

Comparing Chop Chop to DLH is ridiculous! Chop is a south paw counter puncher while DLH is a conventional boxer/puncher. Mayweather was buzzed by Chop because he got caught by a counter right from the south paw stance. I agree DLH will be able to hit him but to make that comparison is inaccurate.

Floyd's body actually looks healthier at junior welterweight and welterweight to me. At the lower weights he looked more drawn to me- less lithe than other fighters. Obviously he won't be putting on fat to move up to 154- it'll be all muscle. What will adding 7 pounds of muscle do for him? Well, it can't hurt your punching power....though the extra force behind his punches could shatter his brittle hands in the very first round.

What do I expect from Floyd? He's not dumb. He won't trade with Oscar, he'll stick and move....play defense. I expect him to eat a few good, solid punches from Oscar and prove to everyone he has a good beard. I think he'll draw old man Oscar deep into the late round by being defensive and hope to eek out the decision by working after round 5.

About his future at 154? If he wins against De La Hoya he'll fight Cory Spinks and attempt to pick up that belt. Then he'll try and fight Winky, win or lose against Bernard. Finally, he'll fight a Sugar Shane that has aged another year or year and a half.

If Mayweather beats Oscar his fight schedule will be as follows:

Mayweather -De La Hoya @ 154
Mayweather - Spinks @154
Mayweather - Wright @ 154
Mayweather - Mosley @ 147

If Mayweather loses against Oscar:

Mayweather - De La Hoya @ 154
Mayweather - Mosley @147
Mayweather - Hatton @ 147 (He'll draw a weaker, smaller Hatton up to Welter)
Mayweather- Spinks @154 (Should Cory still have a title Mayweather will attempt another fight at Junior Middle now that the defeat to Oscar is almost two years gone)

Overall predictions are that if Mayweather beats De La Hoya he'll stick at the weight to pick up a belt at 154, fight Wright for a big payday, and then drop back down to take on men he sees as easy prey- an older Mosley who may have had another loss by now and anyone else he can pad his resume with.

If he loses he'll drop straight back down to Welterweight and go for a big payday in Mosley, then immediately attempt to draw up a smaller Hatton to Weltwerweight and punish him.

I agree on all points. Nice work.

I also think weight is the only thing that can beat Mayweather. There simply isn't another fighter out there on his level. He won't lose until he moves up too far. The question remains whether 154 is that weight or not.

he is already very weak and feather fisted at welter and it will only get worse as he moves up, his punches will seem like he is blowing kisses at oscar. floyd is going to get steam rolled. and then go back to fighting nobodies or retire.

He still made Baldomir's face look bad. It doesn't matter that he doesn't have great power his speed and skills will win him the fight.

No because Floyd doesn't suck like Audley.

baldomirs parents made his face look bad, he was born that way.
