Mayweather vs. Pac = James Toney Vs Vassiliy Jirov

[El Dominicano]

Duran (Pacman) vs. Leonard (Mayweather) 1

Bad comparison. SRL doesn't have the kind of accuracy or defense Floyd has...Duran = GREATEST defensive infighter and Duran was also slick. The only good comparison about it is one is a boxer/ the other is a brawler.

Duran (Pacman) vs. Leonard (Mayweather) 1

Could be since Floyd hasn't moved around the ring for some time.

I don't know: If Floyd can draw back to his lighter days of fighting, it could be Duran vs. Leonard II.

Remember, Hatton made this same mistake at looking at Castillo vs. Mayweather I and Duran vs. Leonard I.

The problem: Floyd was injured in the first Castillo fight and cleared it up in the second. Leonard fought Duran's fight in the first fight and cleared it up in the second.

Floyd watches fights...He saw the Duran vs. Leonard fights.

Freddie saw these fights as well and wouldn't over-look it, but would take points from it of course.


What was interesting is on 24/7, Mayweather vs. Hatton, it looked like Billy Graham was looking at this fight in a nervous manner

[Benny Leonard]

It makes sense, wouldn't be exactly the same, no, but I can see Floyd laying on the ropes, shoulder rolling and countering Pac-Man just like Toney did to Jirov, and Pac applying constant pressure. The biggest difference? Both guys won't gas in the late rounds.

You never know: The more you are punched and by hard punches, and have to work, you get tired.

I'm not sold on Floyd's stamina at this point. Haven't been for a bit of time. He takes off rounds in fights now. If it was because of age, weight-gain, or simply he has to be careful with his punches because of his hands...I don't know.

[Benny Leonard]

No way. Pac is more of a boxer-puncher than a sheer volume puncher like Jirov. He also isn't as dedicated a body stalker as Jirov, so he wouldn't beleanin into PBF's chest all night. Pac actually moves between combinations and wouldn't willingly be tagged wit every counter PBF threw. The comparison between the fights fits a lil bit, but no way it'd be an exact replica.

Yes, but that is why I said some points. Pac bounces in and out a lot more now, so this is more of the old Pac we could talk about.


I'm not going to pay attention as much to the Oscar fight because it was a complete sham. Looking good against a dead-man don't count.

The Diaz fight is more telling of Pac's possible improvement. He looked great there.

Mayweather (Mayweather) vs Pac (Gatti)

[Espada]

A shot Oscar gave Mayweather a split gift decision.. I think PAC will KO him in less than 10 rounds

[AztecWanker]

thats a good way of seeing it. it may not be perfect but a good view either way

[DiegoFuego]

Just popped into my head.

Not exactly, but it does have some points.

I think that's actually a really good comparison only I think Mayweather would move a lot more than Toney did. Toney stood there and kicked Jirov's ass all night, but Mayweather would have to be moving around and using the ring.

The best part of that video- Floyd is on the ropes, shoulder-rolling the punches, hitting Chavez with right uppercuts, and Larry Merchant goes:

'Four counter right hands-'
*POW*
'Five right hands by Mayweather'

Haha, classic

[DiegoFuego]

nope.

ibeabuchi (pacquiao) vs. byrd (mayweather)

lmao worst comparison ever
