De La Hoya: "The Pressure is On Floyd Mayweather Jr"

[GRUSTLER]

yeah man its insane....i mean all these Mayweather haters should just stop now....no matter who he fights it will be an excuse

vs Marquez = Marquez was too small

vs Manny = Manny was too small

vs Cotto = Cotto has been in too many wars and is shot

vs Mosley = Mosley is too Old but Mayweather couldnt beat him @ LW

it doesnt matter who he fights, they will downplay all of his fights...until he finally losess a fight, then they will all gather and call him OverRated and Finally Exposed

its all silly....

It's all ridiculously sad. Floyd is clearly one of, if not thee
best of this era BUT people hate on him because he talks
a lot of trash, to me who cares. I do want to see him fight
Mosley and or Cotto at least before hanging em up again.
I say a fight with JMM/Pacman/Mosley/Cotto would be a
good wrap for his career.

Pacman is most likely faster than Floyd but one thing for sure
is that he is not a better technical boxer than Floyd and IF you
disagree with that then I have no argument left. Pacquiao has
problems with technical boxers. Floyd would find all the holes
in Pacman's game and pick him apart. Whenever that fight
happens I'll bet points on Floyd against anybody.

Pac is faster maybe...but he isnt more accurate, and he doesnt put together better combonations. Body attack is sub par, defense is suspect.....leans forward with his face/fead exposed and stretches to make contact...

Mayweathers style is perfect to exploit Mannys weaknesses

Manny's weaknesses cant be exposed by many fighters....but Mayweather is one of them

[razor.thin]

pressure? what pressure?

if every elite boxer fought a boxer two weight classes below them they wouldnt even train for the fight and go into the ring with slippers and a night gown.

[oc9979]

The double standards are ridiculous. Fact of the matter
is Floyd is fighting JMM at a catch weight of 144 and Cotto
is fighting Pac at 145 AND Cotto is a heavier puncher than
Floyd. No matter how good Floyd opponents are people
will find some reason to discredit them to make Floyd
look bad. JMM gave Pac all he could handle in 24 rounds
including after the KD's BUT Pac is so much better than
JMM? People say Pac can KO Floyd but think Floyd
fighting JMM is a mismatch? I think it's funny.

People are complaining that JMM last fight was at 135 while Pacquiao last 2 fight were 140 and above.

[GRUSTLER]

mayweather says he's the best welterweight in the world though. surely beating baldomir doesn't qualify you as the best or we have like 400 dudes who are the best running around.

But technically Baldomir was the best when Floyd fought
him. Wasn't Margarito, Cotto or Williams, it was Baldomir.

[oc9979]

Ha ha ha ha ha!! Cotto wish he had half of the ring generalship
as Mayweather. Cotto couldn't even out box Antonio Margarito
who he was clearly better than. If Cotto can't hurt you with his
punch then you can beat him. I give Cotto credit for be a ballsy
fighter but I don't think he would fair well against Floyd BUT
would love to see it and hope it happens.

Hey but Mayweather got offered $8 mil to fight Margarito. Did he fight him?

[daggum]

But technically Baldomir was the best when Floyd fought
him. Wasn't Margarito, Cotto or Williams, it was Baldomir.

well he wasn't really the best and we all know that. that's like saying zsolt erdei is the best light heavy right now.

[GRUSTLER]

People are complaining that JMM last fight was at 135 while Pacquiao last 2 fight were 140 and above.

So what does that mean? Pacquiao dismantled Oscar and
Annihilated Ricky Hatton without breaking a sweat, wasn't
like it pushed him to the limit. JMM battled it out at 135
with two top contenders & dropped em both cold. JMM ain't
no slouch and if Manny can fight above light weight and
get praise why can't JMM who arguably beat Pac both
times?

now i hate the triangle theory but....

Well Baldomir believe it or not was the LAST REAL WW champ b4 Mayweather beat him....Baldomir beat ZAB (who had all of the belts from Cory Spinks).....Now many people believe that Baldomir beating was a fluke , so Mayweather DOMINATED Zab, then DOMINATED the man with the belts..who was the CHAMP.......Baldomir didnt want to pay the sanctioning fee's for all of the belts except for the WBC, so they all got scattered around which is why Cotto, & Mosley and all of them have belts...Mayweather let his Belt go to move up to 154 to fight Oscar for his TITLE.....

if you realy wanna be technical...Mayweather is real WW champ, Until he LET his belt go cause he wanted to snatch the 154lb title

....i know ur trying to Imply that he shouldve fought Margarito for 8 Million.....but why?..he made more than 8 mill to beat zab and more than 8 mill to beat Baldo...

Margarito wasnt a WW chanp at that time and was only famous by beating Cintron on ESPN

[Jiddu Dali]

Hey but Mayweather got offered $8 mil to fight Margarito. Did he fight him?

Baldomir was the UNDISPUTED WW champ...something, Cotto, or Margarito can never say

and when he was the UNDISPUTED WW champ...Mayweather beat him....
