At 147-154, Prime for Prime, how would Floyd Mayweather Jr fair against these five Pro Boxers he beat in the past?

Canelo, at the time, was still an emerging talent being carefully developed into a future star, which is why he was matched for the vacant WBC title against a less threatening opponent in Matthew Hatton. Golden Boy Promotions, recognizing Canelo's potential but acknowledging his inexperience, would never risk putting a green prospect against the pound-for-pound king, Manny Pacquiao. Meanwhile, Pacquiao, already an established icon with a wealth of high-profile opponents available in his natural weight classes, had no pressing need to campaign at 154. His brief stint in the division was more about achieving accolades than long-term competition.
Pac wanted someone less dangerousComment

It's funny prior to the fight these guys are 100%. They are not drained. Training camp was great and they are ready to go.
Like how Oscar is talking now they found those brakes in the Atlantic Ocean
BOXING NEWS 24 MENU FANTALK TICKETS RESULTS SCHEDULE Boxing News – Cotto: “Not Impressed With Pacquiao” By Boxing News - 06/23/2009 - Comments By Manuel Perez: In an interview with elnuevodia, WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto said that he could care less if he has to fight Manny Pacquiao at the 145 pound catch weight that he and his management team want him to fight. Saying “it does not matter if it is at 145 pounds. That was the weight that we said from the beginning and it’s my range. I will increase it by eight to ten pounds [by fight time].” Cotto also said that he was no impressed with Pacquiao’s recent fights, commenting “he [Pacquiao] has two arms and so do I.”

- - l'l floydy avoided plenty of fighters coming up after JL Castillo who was no more than a journeyman after being KOed 4x before l'l floydy where Castillo BTFO out of him. Before that fight little Jesus Chavez did the same thing only to be betrayed by his illicitly hired trainer, Ronnie Shields who was supposed to run interference with the ref for Jesus decided to stop Jesus when l'l floydy after running for his life all night finally landed a decent punch at the end of the round that didn't even faze Jesus. Jesus real trainer, Richard Lord, a former boxer went ballistic and had to be carried off to keep from flattening Shields.
In the end, l'l floydy became Haymon's and Ellerbe's boytoy where they would announce the next date where the opponent was to be filled in on short 2-3 weeks notice, ie Too Be Announced TBA TBE TUEComment

Floyd dodged even fighters in his own division, brook, bradley, spence, thurman, bud. Forgive me if I've left anyone out, it it's been a long day and I'm a little tired.
Id not favour floyd to beat anyone he dodged. Fury was supposed to beat anyone h2h in history, yet couldn't beat a middleweight.
So woulda, coulda isn't money in bank. Just means Floyd's resume lacking, that he has to rely on woulda, coulda like fury didLast edited by hugh grant; 12-27-2024, 02:20 PM.Comment

You already clearly lied about that by claiming that Mayweather was still under Top Rank when he fought Baldimir. Mayweather left Top Rank after the Zab Judah fight which was before he fought Baldimir. When you lie you lose all credibility on the topic.
There are very detailed reasons why the Mayweather-Margarito fight didn't happen and it's all coming straight from Margarito's promoter Bob Arum's mouth. It wasn't because Mayweather "avoided" Margarito. That's clear and I've already posted the interview with Arum and the source which is ESPN. You can continue to lie based on your personal feelings and I'll continue to put out the facts.Last edited by joseph5620; 12-27-2024, 01:28 PM.Comment

Post #256 is built up from first principles. Gaslighting talking points instead of addressing them reeks of discussing in bad faith, which is fine at least be HONEST about THAT.Comment
