Mayweather - Untried, Unproven, and Untested at Welterweight!

[joe_black]

Mayweather may have a slight edge in speed on Shane, but Shane is getting older and will slow down. That's what Mayweather is waiting for. He isn't dumb and history has it that he doesn't fight a live opponent either. Nevertheless, I think Mayweather can win against Cotto too. Not in an all out fight, but Mayweather isn't going to engage in Cotto's battle. Floyd can stick and move, and pitty-pat Cotto for twelve rounds, and win in yet another boring fight. However, why bother when he can make tens of millions with lesser opponents, and insure he keeps that cash cow flowing the milk. Pacquaio has the best shot of all considering that he's the most likely fighter Mayweather would consider as the least risky. Although he is smaller, giving Floyd that everlasting edge, I think maybe his ability to lunge in, coupled with his ability to create a single punch knockout, gives Pacquiao a legitimate chance. But if the fight is done at this very moment, Mosley has the best chance at shutting Floyd up.

Al hymen is terrified of the prospect of a Floyd-Pwill match up.

"Floyd is listed at 5 feet and 8 inches (5’8”) with a 72-inch reach. Why am I mentioning these stats? Try to check Floyd’s list of previous opponents and see if you can find any of them, apart from Oscar De La Hoya, who has both advantages in size and reach over him. If you are successful, then you can stop reading and I will certainly rest my case. If you can’t, then read on and know the facts."

So now, boxing has Height/reach classes? Not weight classes?

I guess Paul Williams is a heavyweight.

Is this actually Al Haymon?

Probably... or just masquerading as the real one. Either way, they both want no part of Williams. lol

You do know that Al Haymon manages (or advises) Williams career right?

Watch out when you disagree with the Al Haymon posting on here. He acts all calm and collected when he posts and puts whoever disagrees with him on his ignore list because they disagree with him.

Mayweather has to fight Cotto, Mosley, or Pac next, or he will continue to be questioned at welterweight which he should. Mayweather being ranked above Cotto is absolutely disgraceful, Cotto has done more at welterweight than Floyd could even pretend to.

WOW!!!! Perfectly said!!

[cottosucks84]

He's just padding his record just like Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Maybe they ought to fight each other instead. lol

For the last time floyd did what he had to at ww. Hecame in 11/2005 had fought a tough veteran in shambra mitchell. After that he fought zab judah the former lineal champ than baldomir the linealchamp at the time. In the end of 2005 the top 5 welters were spinks judah margarito and floyd . Shane was at 154 and cotto wasn't even rated

PBF hasnt fought any welterweights. He picks names and asks them to move up to welterweight. So even though it is a good name on his resume, if you look at the bigger picture, (which PBF hopes you dont) you will find his wins are less impressive than first thought.

He retired without fighting Cotto, Margarito, SSM. To avoid one of them is excusable. But not even have made the effort to fight one of them. What is this guy up to?

That is false, Baldomir was a legit welter, and so is Zab. Hatton also won a belt at welter. So he has fought a few 147 pounders, so therefore he is not untried, unproven and untested.

So what you are saying is basically bad fanfiction.

If you look at Floyd resume (or big picture) as a whole you will see that he started at and dominated the 130 pound division. Since then he has been jumping up weight classes beating good fighters, so to judge his whole career by 147 is rash and foolish at best.
