De la Hoya vs Mayweather weigh in

[Tuggers1986]

Theres not many Floyd fans i respect because the y seem to lack the ability to be objective, but I have respect for you because this isn't the first time I have seen your objectivity and the ability to recognize facts instead of being blind. I have no problems with people rooting for there favorite fighters but I can't satnd when the way a lot of Floyd fans are blinded and think he has no weknesses or think there is no way he can be beaten. Every fighter has weaknesses and can be beaten. Props to you deliveryman.

I don't doubt he could have been stopped but stopping Judah doesn't really impress me. He is so weak mentally and has a glass jaw, not to mention he melts down in every major fight he has been in. Judah has always had the skills and tool he is just mentally weak and honestly I have always felt he was overrated. he had Mayweather in trouble early he is just not mentally able to turn it up and capitilize.

Sure stopping glass-jaw Judah isn't the greatest of accomplishments.

I wouldn't exactly say he had Floyd in "trouble". Sure he was winning rounds, but they were close and competitive.

And although I admit Judah isn't the most mentally sound person out there, I don't think it was because of a mental meltdown, that Floyd turned that fight around. It was more of Floyd starting to find his range. For the first 4 rounds, Floyd was trying to set-up his righthand with his Jab, which Judah was timing beautifully. Floyd made the adjustment, and started leading with his righthand, which also opened Judah up for some pretty good left hooks to the body.

Who knows, neither you nor I know what was going through Judah's head at the time... maybe it was a combination of both?

Cant argue with that...Judah is a let down........But that fight was easy work for floyd.....Remember Oscar lost to Mosley Trinidad, got a gift against Whitaker & Quartey, and that was in his prime. Remember he is not in his prime now........I may be blinded by bias, but lets say im right

Your right Oscar is not in his prime anymore but he is still damn good and is not an old 34. He hasn't taken a lot of punishment and still has his skills and boxing ability not to mention still one of the best jabs in boxing when he remembers to stick with it. I will admit that he lost the first fight to Mosley, and many people feel he should have gotten the decision the second time but it was close. I think everyone knows who really won the Tito fight regardless of the decision, and Oscar won the whittaker fight it was close but he won. Whittaker did nothing but did nothing but run around and clown the whole fight. The Quartey fight was close and without the 12th Quartey would have won but he didn't do enough to close the fight Oscar put him down and almost stopped him Quartey could not expect to win that way. Oscar did what he had to do to win and the decision may have been close but Oscar went out and took the fight in that 12th round. On the same token Oscar didn't do himself any favors the last three rounds of the trinidad fight but it wasn't as if Trinidad did a lot either. Oscar won enough early rounds to get the decision regardless. He won at least 7 rounds an the last time I checked 7 out of 12 rounds is enough for the decision but I will agree that Oscar didn't do himself any favors. Worst case scenario maybe a draw but even that is pushing it. Had Oscar gotten the decision it would have been called a gift yet when it went to Tito I don't hear the same thing. If you want to talk gift decisions i notice you didn't mention the first Castillo vs. Mayweather fight.

You make good points but in my opinion Floyd had no business fighting Judah after the baldomir loss Judah suffered because the fight didn't mean as much after Baldy beat him.

Judah was the undisputed champ at Welterweight before his loss to Baldomir. If Floyd would've fought Baldy first, you and every other hater would've said the loss was a fluke and he should've fought Judah. And you want to give Floyd fans **** for not being objective? You can't even be honest with yourself. Floyd took care of Zab and Baldy (the last 2 WW champs) and you still give him ****.

floyds an ugly looking dude, how come they call him pretty boy floyd...

i hope you're a girl, because for one to comment on a man's look when he's in a sport that involves fighting, is just a little ******.
