Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather Could Have Got Paul Out Anytime He Wanted

Then how did Floyd Mayweather win the previous exhibition fight he had by knockout?

So are exhibitions.

They have weight classes for professional boxers, not random people off the street.

They have weight classes for a reason!

Same way Fury KO'd Strowman and Goku beat Freeza; by the script.

I know plenty of Veterans, who are "random guys off the street," and Floyd's little ass can't knock them out! KO is not part of Floyd's skill set! Hasn't been for a very long time!

No, it's criticism. He said the same thing about Floyd carrying Conor.

Is it really? Saying he could have means he had the power to do so if he chose to. Now saying he couldn't, would obviously be the opposite and could be considered a slight. Maybe a backhanded compliment.

Dragging a fight out against a serious underdog is never good.

He didn’t fight a 190-poind professional boxer.

He fought some kid off the street.

That kid off the street has 3 years of exp in boxing. You might not think that is a lot but when you’re 190lbs fighting a 155lb guy, that’s enough xp to do okay.

That kid off the street would probably KO both of us in a boxing match.

Floyd still fought them out of their prime just like Manny did if that is the case. So nobody gets full credit.

Cotto was 29 yrs with a 34-1 record.

Manny beat prime Thurman a guy Floyd ducked.

Insert Floyd excuses here:


__________________________________________

Everyone Pac beat, May could have, and in some cases, ALREADY HAVE, beaten.

Common opponents -
DLH
May beat the better version
Cotto
May beat the better version
Mosley
May beat the better version
Hatton
May beat the slightly better version
JMM
Kind of a wash although no one needed more than 1 May vs JMM

There is no dis*****g this

IMHO, all of the above (except Hatton) could have beaten the Thurman Pac fought.
Of course you will say otherwise.
That the Thurman, coming off an injury and a horrible performance vs a shot journeyman, was the best version

What is your logic behind May ducking someone Pac fought ?
It stands to reason that if May waltzed passed Pac, he would have done so to EVERYONE Pac fought

The utter nonsense that Margarito would have given May his 1st L is ludicrous. A person would have to be a drooling simpleton who is desperate for a name.
Again, we have to focus on common opponents (since logic is not a Pac fan's strong point).
Margarito is a laughable 1*-3
His W/L record at the weight Pac beat him (let's not even mention yet another clause) is abysmal.
1 handed Clottey nearly beat him. And Clottey is just as slow and easy to hit.
Margarito's claim to ''fame'' ?!?!?
Who anointed him to be the div's boogeyman ?!?!?!?
I have no clue whatsoever.

Even Rios was insulted when people referred to him as Baby Margarito

May would have easily beaten everyone Pac fought. I'm not even saying this as a fan/hater. Just a reasonable conclusion.

As for retired May, stop it.
Stop mentioning that tiny Japanese guy.
Let's keep this resume vs resume on a pro level.
Yes, the Conor ''fight'' was a joke.
An enormously lucrative joke. A joke Pac was very interested in exploring.
Stop saying how he should have kept on fighting and NEVER RETIRE (until Pac fans said it was ok)

Well when you follow it up with beating Thurman, a 2 year mandatory that Floyd ducked, you gets mad respect.

Floyd followed up beating Berto with knocking out a Japanese kickboxer.

You mean a guy that was out for 2 years.

let’s be honest-not that you ever are- if Floyd fought Thurman after he had just 1 MD win in 2 years over josesito lopez you’d find a way to criticize it.
