So if Floyd simply destroys JMM, does he have the upper hand on Pacquiao?

[JM1]

lmao@ his best weight...lol

yeah b4 mayweather KO'ed him that maybe was true...weight didnt have anything to do with Mayweather beating Hatton the same way it didnt have anything to do with Pac beating Hatton....

they are just better fighters that Hatton..its simple math, not rocket science

what is hatton's best weight class then? welterweight?

[bojangles1987]

Not at all, he's fighting a Juan Manuel Marquez 14 pounds over his best weight. He should destroy him.

Boj,

What would you say Floyd's best weight is?

[El Angel]

Pac beat Hatton at his best weight. Floyd beat Oscar at his best weight at the point in his career. Pac beat Marquez at his better weight. Pac 2, Mayweather 1 IMO.

He was most dominant at 130 or 135, but that's irrelevant, he has not fought below 140 for like 5 years, Marquez was at 135 his last two fights and 130 a year and a half ago.

Styles make fights, you can't judge a fight based on fighter A beating fighter B more convincingly than fighter C, so fighter A beats fighter C... it doesn't work like that.

finally!!!! someone with some damn brains on here! I couldnt of said it better myself! floyd is a patient and disciplined fighter, u r not going to see him go mike tyson on a guy in the first couple rounds unless he smells blood

[big_james10]

they wont give floyd the credit he deserves..but in the same breath they'll say pacman can beat floyd

I agree. And when Floyd then destroys Pac in the ring, they will say that Pac was too small.

[MOREBASS]

Now my question is, will Floyd's credentials over Pac increase if Floyd beats or destroys JMM?

If he wins, it makes no difference,as far as possible negotiations go, HOW he wins, just that he does win, and that people pay to see it.


The 'upper hand' you speak of rests soley on the performance of the fight on PPV, and at the gate.

[Jim Jeffries]

Boj,

What would you say Floyd's best weight is?

Well if it's anything less than WW, right now, he should fight Marquez there.

If Floyd can't make 140 anymore, he should fight a real WW and forget about this pu$$y catchweight garbage. If he can make 140, or less, then fight Marquez there and perhaps get some credit for it.

[bojangles1987]

I agree. And when Floyd then destroys Pac in the ring, they will say that Pac was too small.

That excuse can't be used if Floyd beats Pac because Manny Pacquiao is a proven fighter at 140 and is about to fight his second fight at welterweight.
