Floyd beating JMM more convincingly than Pacquiao trumps....

[Vladimir303]

Are you pulling my leg here? Floyd being the weakest welterweight doesn't mean he's not powerful enough to KO JMM considering he'll be the bigger man by comparison to the Mexican.

There's no excuses for JMM. A dominant win by Floyd won't overshadow Pacquiao's wins; Floyds suppose to win. And ring rust doesn't factor in here if were strictly talking about skills, right?

Ring rust is always taken into account. Meaning, Floyd has alot more to overcome here then just a very skilled fighter in JMM.

Floyd has Jr.Welterweight punching power.


And again, skills pay the bills. JMM didn't get knocked out thus far because he is a great technician. Pacquaio is a bigger puncher than Floyd P4P and Floyd at 147 is much less powerful than at 135/140. Lets not act like Floyd is Miguel Cotto - a guy who struggled to make 140 and thus moved up to 147.

Floyd moved up for the big fights (e.g. Fighting Judah for the Undisputed title before he knew he was gonna lose to Baldomir, and Delahoya).

I'm not refering to ring rust. I'm taking your statement verbatim and basing it on skills--the long layoff is just added hurdle for Mayweather, nothing else. Mayweather has power, speed, and with his natural size--he assuredly has the capability to stop JMM or a clear UD. FLoyd shouldn't lose to JMM.

EDIT: However, anything is possible. JMM might be able to defeat Floyd once you account for ring rust, but Floyd shouldn't, which is my point.

i think it would trump anything that pac has done in his career...sorry...but floyd is not much bigger than these guys...i think he could still get down to 140 if he tried hard enough...if he destroys marquez...manny and freddie will not be happy at all...neither will cotto...

If he could get down to JWW then why does he fight a LW champ at WW?????

Floyd is a full-blooded welter. JMM has been at 135 for a year.
