Mayweather Jr: "Ricky Hatton Had The Same Plan"

[JBell11]

You all act like speed, power, defense, head movement and foot movement are all that is required to win... The real attribute is called INTELLIGENCE. Floyd is fast, defensive, accurate, great movement but his best attribute is how intelligent he is. No one is smarter than Floyd in the ring... He is able to quickly adapt to fighters as the rounds go. He is the only fighter who can do practically everything well...but most importantly he is extremely intelligent in the ring and he never loses his cool. He knows what to do and when to do it... Many fighters need a lot of coaching and people to tell them what to do in the corner... The only thing Roger has to do is tell Floyd how good of a job he is doing.

I agree with your point in that intelligence is the crucial factor in this fight, and to some I agree that he may be smarter than most boxers out there. There is no denying that he is a GREAT boxer, however, I also believe that Marquez is also a very smart boxer, as I said before, he is smarter than most. I personally think it will be a very interesting fight that will be more competitve than what people are making it out to be. People just saying "Floyd IS THE BEST AND WILL DESTROY MARQUEZ" or "Marquez is the best and will destroy Mayweather" isn't really accurate.

Come to think of it... while writing this... I just realized...that FLoyd's sholder roll might be a problem this time around...his ribs aren't really in the best of shape..what if Marquez really targets that area??? That might be crucial too...what do you guys think?

You can't pressure Floyd if you want to win, but then again you can't try to outbox Floyd if you want to win.

So then how can you beat Floyd?

Castillo pressured and beat Floyd in thier first fight....

[Pullcounter]

He's about an inch shorter. Shoulder width they are the same.

Stop overreacting.

size is more than just height.

If Pac fights him are you gonna ***** about the size too?

nope

Pac and JMM are the same size fool.

pac is a little bigger, but jmm is a bit taller i think.

And I know its hard for you to grasp, but neither are any longer featherweights, they've moved up to higher weights now.

that's not hard to grasp

It happens all the time.

yeah, but JMM and Pac aren't legit WWs.

And faster,

yes

Better skills,

they're close

put his punches together better

actually JMM is probably the better combination puncher, as pbf clearly is going for accuracy w/ potshotting.

,overrall a better fighter..

i'd say pbf is the better athlete.

You know when you get to thinkin... i think he would be alot to deal with... I still think Floyd would win tho... but your head is in the right place

jmm won't go down without a fight, but he will go down

Already seen that fight... nothing to talk about... Floyd won and gave him the rematch.. People fail to realize he beat Castillo the 1st time with a torn rotator cuff!!

.....Please respond

he lost to Castillo........

we don't know which side the rib injury is on, or even if the rib injury is real.

shoulder roll is not gonna be a problem because the arms protects the body.

Floyd was hurt on the first fight but in my opinion and a lot of other boxing writers opinions he lost the fight(cause he was hurt doen't entitle him to a bye). In the second fight Floyd did beat him convincingly and the score were closer than the first fight, go figure. But with that watching those fights Floyd do has a problem with a tall pressure fighter with a good chin(guess why he stood away from Margo). That would be the style that would give him more problems.

I totally agree, From Castillo 1 that's what's every fighter has been saying... yet Floyd is still undefeated. It's going to take more than just pressure to beat mayweather. Mayweather is talking stoppage and KO, based on that it seems like Mayweather will be the aggressor in this fight. What happens to JMM and his team's plan if PBF comes out aggressive??
Anyway Bigups to JMM for taking the challenge

jmm won't go down without a fight, but he will go down

there is no way floysdd hits harder than pac, at all. pac also is busier , i dont see floyd being able to ko jmm,not after seeing how pac wasnt able to.jmm may lose especially if its a dec, but going down i dont think so, i hope not.

Floyd always promises fire works and since moving to 147..he hasnt produced. In fact he said he was going to go toe to toe with Baldo and Dela...he talks stoppages to hype his fights, nothing more IMO

say gayweather comes out aggressive, is he more aggressive than pac? no.does he hit harder ? no. if pac couldnt do it to jmm why would floyd?floyd doesnt have more power or speed,or output than pac, that is visibly clear with the hatton delahoya fights. especially coming off a long layoff no way,but stranger things have happened.floyd only throws 1 or 2 punches at a time, both jmm and pac have a much higher ko percentage than does mr marathon , runaway man.
