Why are Mayweather

[Welter_Skelter]

ODLH had around 15 pounds on Floyd and every advantage he could get in that fight

Floyd may be coming off a 18 month layoff to face JMM who he would probably outweigh by around 8-10 pounds, But let me guess thats not dangerous because its Floyd

Their should be no excuses when Floyd whoops Manny and JMM( Not maximum cred because JMM is not as accustomed to the higher weights ) but i expect their will be

I think JMM is crazy if takes that fight.. Floyd will annihilate him.. even after a 3 year layoff

[Vasyl’s dad]

Vitali came back after almost a 4 year lay off...

Seregi Lyachovich came back after 16 months and fought the best fight of his career...

there are countless others

Ray Leonard came back after 3 years and fought Marvin Hagler who was bigger, and the champion of his division.


Floyd is looking to fight the smaller man,


again.

You dont have a point. but thanks.

still one point ahead of you, while you nuthug floyd:smileysex

[THE REED]

still one point ahead of you, while you nuthug floyd:smileysex

Im not even close to a nuthuggerof Floyd... so TRY AGAIN.

All I said is an extended lay off can damper a fighters timing... which is absolutely true.

THat is all I said.

So go be a prick to someone else.

Being heavier and bigger isn't always an advantage you know.


Some guys like to fight larger opponents because heavier sometimes means slower.

Fans.. making excuses up already??

The man is IN his prime...

He has been in very few wars.. and rarely gets hit.. he is always in top shape.. does not abuse drugs or alcohol..

The 30 year old athlete being done is a standard long past it's worth.. by about 30 years now..

If he is done and ripe for a loss due to his Ring-Rust or diminished skills

what does that say about these guys??.. (age listed is at time of the fight)

Hatton-30
De La Hoya-35
Baldomir-36
Judah-30
Mitchell-35
Gatti-35

Or the guy he is thinking about coming back against who is about to turn 36, Juan Manuel Marquez ???

How do you justify this without discrediting Floyd's wins ???

Someone please explain??

Well it depends what we're talking about. I could say that a prime Floyd could beat a prime (insert name/anybody) and I probably believe that it's true. Then in the next sentence say that due to his ring layoff and older age he might not be able to beat that person.

Both of those statements might even be true. There's nothing really wrong with that. Where it becomes a problem is when someone tries to say that Mayweather is still the greatest, but tries to qualify anything that could potentially prove that wrong, but saying he's been injured/retired/aged/etc.

That said, Mayweather doesn't strike me as the type of fighter who'll age poorly. He's a thinking man's fighter with a good solid foundation. He'll never be what he was between about 1998-2003 again, but I still think he'll beat quite a few great fighters like Pacquiao, Marquez and Cotto if he chooses to fight them.

But to not factor ring rust, age or whatever at all is pretty irresponsible. I mean it will affect any fighter's performance. I just don't think even that would cause Floyd to lose to Marquez or Pacquiao.

nah , just focused on you for a couple of hours(im at work for couple more hours on a computer deskjob)



by the way, i know youre not exactly a floyd fan(yacht thread),


but floyd cant come off with that ****** excuse if he loses cause a long layoff, he chose to have a layoff, if this was true, you have to blame gay ass floyd on that, its not true though, floyd is still in his ******y ass prime so still, no excuse, even with layoff



floyd didnt dehabilitate his body like legendary Roy Jones did


floyd was just taking a layoff , training and getting butt****ed

Being heavier and bigger is an advantage. Otherwise, we wouldn't have so many different weight divisions.

Mayweather took a calculated risk that even though his punches wouldn't hurt DLH at least he'd have a huge speed and skill advantage which could make up the difference. As it turns out he did, but many people looked at the fact that DLH could drive Mayweather back without even landing punches as an advantage and scored the fight accordingly. So, being heavier and bigger is always going to help your cause in a boxing match as long as you're in shape.

First of all man, Floyd didn't lose and isn't making excuses. Get that straight. If he were to lose (and that's a pretty big fu(king IF) he might make excuses. But save the agitated rants about him losing and then making excuses about it until he actually loses and then makes an excuse about it.
