This is one of the best statements that I have read on this forum. Mega K for you.

I call it like i see it.

When I watch Mayweather fight I am literally in awe, the guy is literally a genius, I am not so impressed by his demolition fights, as I am with his "boring" fights, the way he figures his opponents, the little subtle things he does like his small steps to offer an awkward target that idiots call running. Never seen anything like that in color, if you know what I mean (Pea is the exception but being elusive and frustrating is "easier" from a southpaw stance). Or when he turned the fight around against Judah.

And I have rarely seen a fighter behaving as Ricky does: he has humour, he is always respectful, humble, calm (ppl talk as if he insulted Floyd, come on Floyd should be arrested than...), loves his fan: when he hugged Zoo in front of that huge Manchestesr crowd and told his fans something like " I hope I can be half the champ Kostya Zoo has been" I was bought in for good.

Floyd will beat hatton and than the winner of cotto/mosley, and finally prove to people how great he actually is.

Yeah, that was a good post. But I mean Sweat Pea fought more square on. He baited his opponents to throw and he would counter with precision. Was more of a pocket fighter in my opinion then Floyd Mayweather. Floyd fights sideways with a very awkward style. I like Pea's style much more.

Not saying I dont like Pea's style, Pea is also incredibly impressive for different reasons.
just that Mayweather constant repositioning is really impressive given that the only other fighter I have seen (in color) doing samething comparable is a southpaw. I expect him to not be able to do that much against Hatton (Hatton throws many punches and, what I imagine will make it hard, from many angles), if he manages the fight might get boring, but it would be a boring masterpiece IMO.

I personally like better to watch Mayweather, but only because Pea's upper body movement kinda grosses me out, he looks like he is an eel, I dont know it's hard to explain without sounding ridiculous, just a matter of taste.

LOL @ pea walking away from the corner with the other fighter still throwing, how the hell he pulled that stuff is beyond me

I dont know. Me, personally, I think JMM is the more complete offensive fighter. Mayweather is a great athlete and relies on his physical tools more then anything. Like his quickness of hand and foot. In that regards he is unmatched. I think JMM finds offensive opponenings much easier then Mayweather. I admire Floyd as a fighter but I will be forever convinced that he lost his first fight to Castillo.

That's I feel a "weakness" of Mayweather, because he cannot shoulder roll with left hands as well as rights from his stance. But I might be very wrong because i recall the punches which caught him were looping rights (corley, mitchell, is it the case?)

I guess JMM is more rounded, but he also gets hit a lot more than PBF. JMM is a beauty to watch, his counters are awesome. The thing that strikes me about Mayweather is that he has little power at higher weights, but through countering, offering awkward looks, he has most of his opponent closing shop after a few rounds. It's not like watching Castillo-Corrales, but I am always in awe of how he does that. I also like seeing him go offensive or stay in the pocket, but as you said, that's not his best asset.
