Strong Talk Must Be Backed-Up!

[MOREBASS]

When talking about Floyd, why does everyone assume that he's going to be in the same shape he was in 2007 ?



It seems that almost no on one is taking into account an almost 2 year layoff. Couple that with the fact that Floyd is most likely not going to take a 'tune up' fight before this 'SUPER MEGA FIGHT' and he just might not be the same phenomenal Floyd that we've all witnessed before.


Not saying by any means that Floyd is 'shot' or past his prime, he's a physical specimen, and one of the most naturally gifted fighters of our era, but to assume that he's going to pick right back up where he left of at 33 years old is an ignorant assumption. This of course assuming he fights in the last quarter of this year, barring the outcome of the Hatton-Pacquiao fight.

Good points. The Mayweather of 2007 MAY NOT be as good today. As I had brought up during the Pacman/ODLH fight, it isn't what you have done in the past that will count, only what you can do in the present that will matter. JAT

i dont see the problem!!!!!mayweather would ko manny in 7...

It took him 10 to KO a stationary target in Ricky Hatton. What makes you think he can knock out 1 of the few people in the sport with the ability to actually beat him to the punch consistently??

[Flawless.]

Mayweather is all talk but he backs it up. He takes every opponent seriously. He not like Tyson who didn't take Buster seriosuly. Mayweather would train his ass off for the Pacman fight. Mayweather would show his disrespect for Pacman during Press conference and call him a hye job and so on. But deep inside he knows the threat Pacman create. He will call on all Mayweather even hos father to help him for this fight.

All this will result in a Gatti worse beating for Pacman

I like Pac more than Mayweather, but I haven't seen one guy that beats FLOYD to the punch in his whole career.
And Mayweather abuses people on the inside with the speed of his combos.
iF Manny trades with him he's in trouble. If Manny thinks he can move to the left and not get tagged he's in trouble too. I don't like this match up for Manny.

Floyd is quick as **** and a better boxer. The same tactics won't work that Manny employed with DLH..

Pac can beat a lot of guys. May if he's the same May, Manny won't win.

Then say that. Dont say Floyd knocks out Pacquiao in 7 because he hasnt done anything to indicate that he would. Add the fact he'd have been on at least a year and a half layoff by fight night and it'd be extremely unlikely.

Agree Floyd wins (without too much trouble). But I'm not sure a worse beating than Gatti is possible.

I never said that floyd would ko pac in 7, ever. maybe in 11. i think you got me confused with someone else.
all the same result.
layoff may make it go to a decision, but the way may trains, it's hard to believe he'd fight rusty.
