WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU CRAZY

Floyd is a much much MUCH more accurate puncher than Robinson was and WAY more skilled defensively.

Unless of course you are suggesting that Mayweather is absolutely unbeatable, that there's no way anyone ever could win. And then we know who is being unreasonable.

No I didn't. It's a simple case that highly skilled boxrs are sometimes (often) beaten by less skilled fighters with a good chin and a relentless attack. Robinson - LaMotta, Duran - Leonard and Frazier - Ali are three of the more prominent examples. In all three cases the brawler lost the rematches, but they won the first fights and that's the important issue here.

It's irrelevant - Frazier and LaMotta were much bigger than Ali and Robinson. And Ali at that time and Robinson in ANY time did not have Mayweather's defensive skills, same applies to Leonard.

[squealpiggy]

So Leonard was smaller than Duran as well? Or does that one not count for some other reason?

Don't you read? I said Leonard wasn't nearly as good defensively as Floyd. Nowhere near in fact. Leonard's best defense was his offense, his chin, and his heart. In terms of pure defensive skill he was nothing special at all.

[squealpiggy]

He was still more skilled than Duran and a lot bigger, and Duran won.

So you are saying that Mayweather is completely unbeatable then?

Duran BARELY won and Leonard straight up toyed with him the second fight. And right now, yes, I would say Floyd is unbeatable. He would DESTROY any opponent smaller than himself, and clearly beat anyone at 147. The only people who have a chance against him are people that are WAY bigger such as Hopkins, Winky, and Calzaghe - people who he doesn't even belong in the ring with, and even then I wouldn't count him completely out. He has already beat a Baldomir who outweighed him by 14 pounds and an Oscar that outweighed him by 19. Meanwhile, Ricky Hatton can't go up ONE weight class and win convincingly, so it's really pointless to look to the higher weights to look for people that would beat Floyd to discredit him. At 154 and 147 (which aren't even his natural weights) no one beats him. At 140 and below he blows everyone out of the water.

If This Fight Happens I See Hatton Winning By The Ugliest Hugging Contest Ever Hug And Hit Hug And Hit.....they Will Be Dancing On Eachothers Toes All Night Unless Some How Floyd Can Hurt Hatton And Make Him Box.....lol

Rounds 1-3: mayweather dances and pop shots ricky. ricky tries to lunge in very powerfully and ungracefully, but floyd keeps pickin him off and movin.

Rounds 4-7: ricky is bruised and possibly cut, he continues to try and get inside on mayweather, bein successful a few times, ricky will think he can unleash, which he does, and mayweather blocks slips and parries all but maybe 2 or 3 hits, and continues hitting and stepping away from ricky.

Rounds 5-8: mayweather gets a little aggressive. lots of lead rights and counter left hooks, ricky is frustrated, and loses what little technique he had in frustration and tries to land a big bomb where he gets wild and allows mayweather to shoot straight shots down the pipe all night.

Round 9-10: mayweather in and out head, body, head body, head body.

Round 11: Mayweather TKO Ricky. everyone shuts their mouths...

Would you like some Jergins to go along with that wet dream your having?

Hatton will pressure Floyd all night long! End of story. If anyone gets TKO'ed it's gonna be Mayweather.
