Ellerbe: "Mayweather could win a middleweight title"

[sonofisis]

I guess you didn't watch that first Castillo fight.

What does that have to do with anything? He won. You must not have seen the second, and how did the first at 135 stop him from eventually winning a belt at 154 against the best jab he's faced?

Ok, if you can jab and Floyd has a broken hand then you might get a decision win.

if mayweather really believes that then why did he call out winky wright and then duck him?? i would love to see mayweather get knocked out cold by pavlik.

Sorry I saw DLH in the first Mosley fight. NOT EVEN CLOSE to the same guy showed up to fight Floyd. I wasn't impressed, and the jab quit working after 6 rounds anyway.

Huh? Why are you such a bitter and wretched hater,how is that out of the question? I'm sure if Cory Spinks got a SD against Taylor, using the same style, Floyd could have won. You just look for something to nit pick about. You people on here are like women.

It has obviously escaped your attention that the person I am criticising here is not your Pretty Boy but his adviser Leonard Ellerbe who comes out with absurdities on a weekly basis.

I have already explained that the Spinks fight cannot be used as an example because a fight with Mayweather would have been much bigger and thus would have given Taylor greater motivation.

I DONT THINK it's out of the question at all.. Floyd has the skills to beat someone at middle...If Spinks would have beat Jermain..Floyd woudl have challenged him, im sure.

Exactly, which is why I don't understand the shunning attitude in the original post. It is just a bitter rant to me. Good point to, Mayweather could have definitely challenged Spinks given that Spinks would have beaten Taylor.

[DiegoFuego]

Why is that farfetched? Spinks was holding his own with Taylor and he's a poor man's Mayweather. I probably wouldn't favor Mayweather over Taylor or Pavlik, but he could definitely beat them and it wouldn't surprise me at all to see it.

[Mozza]

Given Mayweather's success at multiple weights, I don't see why beating a middleweight champion would be beyond his abilities. Cotto and Hatton's power wouldn't carry at 160lb, neither would Floyd's, but he has so much more in his arsenal than those two to do damage at middleweight.

What has that got to do with anyone being able to defeat Floyd?

Spinks isn't even a real middleweight.

The point is that by you calling it absurd is absurd in its self. No one said that you criticized Floyd, you just don't know what you're talking about with that comment.

C'mon now, you expect me to buy your hypothesis? I'm going by objective standards. If Cory could neutralize Taylor like he did, then surely Mayweather would have as well, period.
