Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather vs. Gervonta "Tank" Davis at 135 or 140.

[SouthpawRight]

Although historically Floyd struggled vs small fighters tank doesn't move his hands to exploit in Floyd's slight kinks vs south paws...

what is this based on

Floyd’s most competitive fights were heavier opponents that used their size advantage to pressure Floyd onto the ropes and make him work

Jose Luis 1

Oscar

Cotto

Maidana both times

The best smaller opponent manny got flossed on

Marquez won no round

Zab win the 1st 2 rounds then proceeded to get beat up for the rest of the fight

Floyd’s hardest fights were in the bigger classes against larger men

Cotto, zab, hatton, Manny, and maidana...a part of Floyd's defense is dipping and getting low, that's puts him in those short guys target zone, the long lanky Floyd struggled to catch those short guys with the clean shots who could get under him pay attention

i am evaluating everyone equally. you just dont like that it makes people like tank and wilder look bad. thats the whole point. i never said floyd fought bums or anything like that. i said he cherry picked, avoided fights and waited for people to get old which is unequivocally true. why you are insulted or find that controversial i have no idea. i dont just cite rankings and then turn my brain off, the rankings are simply a guide to follow. the guys he fought pre ndou were more impressive. the guys he fought post ndou all had a catch. pre ndou floyd wouldnt wait for pac and cotto to be knocked out etc...

No you’re not. If you did, Tank wouldn’t look nearly as bad as you pretend.

No it is not. Floyd called out all of the big names. They refused to fight him. You give GGG credit for call outs because they refused to fight him. With Floyd you do not.

How is that equal treatment?

With rankings, you only have issues with rankings when the opponents are for PBC affiliated boxers. Otherwise it’s just the ranking. You absolutely turn your brain off if it’s a guy you like. No deep dive opponent analysis what so ever. No questions about style etc.

Floyd didn’t wait for Pac to get KO’d. Manny turned down $40 mil, no ppv, for $28 mil to fight JMM on his own accord.

Cotto stepped up into the void when Manny suddenly got stitches once Nevada delayed Floyd’s jail start date. Or did you forget that?

See what I mean.

ah yes ggg the boogeyman who took no risks himself

staying at a weak middleweight division from beginning till end

[MONGOOSE66]

"Pretty Boy" Mayweather in his younger days without any hand injuries vs. the current version of Gervonta "Tank" Davis today at 135lb or 140lb.

Who wins in what particular fashion?

Dumb questioned posed by casuals. If their was 3 tanks. Mayweather could whip them all on the same night.

[OnePunch]

the version of Floyd that fought Chico Corrales would knock Tank into the 6th row........

[elfag]

Floyd easily enough neutralized manny’s goat southpaw left

Not seeing how Gervonta is supposed to catch Floyd with a left to change it all

Plus Floyd didnt get hit with uppercuts. Gervonta’s favorite shot

hell floyd was slipping cottos uppercut, i never even seen another fighter do that. i seen uppercuts miss sure but an uppercut where the guy is right inside in range its right there to land and floyd sees cotto drop his shoulder for the uppercut and pulls back out of range slipping the upper cut in fractions of a second is some other worldly ****.

Other than Manny who was about 2/4 pound smaller across 5 divisions, they weren't smaller where did you get that from, Cotto Hatton Maidana all outweighed him on fight night, maybe even Zab did but I don't know what he was, people just go blah and never research anything they rather roll with small talk than actually finding out the facts.

at the time I saw Floyd do it and thought nice any elite fighter can do that defensive maneuver

How off I was

people forget that weight determines size in boxing

boxing is weightclasses not heightclasses nor reachclasses

Floyd is a lean ectomorph. small manny even outweighed Floyd on fight night by a pound or two

manny was the favorite to win according to the fan poll conducted by hbo lmao

Yep exactly, people dont realize casually believing a lie doesnt serve them, this life long process actually accumulates and molds who they are, yet along the way they believe anything that agrees to their preferences, I was married to a shrink at one point she taught me a lot about human behavior.

Floyd gave away lots of weight on occasions going right back to LW where he gave Castillo and Corrales over 10 pound on fight night, on the contrary Manny was 5 pounds heavier than Morales and about the same as Barrera and JMM at 130 and 2lb smaller than JMM at WW., fight night weight is the most important I wish it was required they were officially weighed an hour before the fight and that weight was disclosed.
