So AFTER the COTTO FIGHT.. if MAYWEATHER were to beat PACMAN....???

[S.G.]

this will be the first time mayweather's ever been the betting underdog i think

he will definitely get more respect, probably than he's ever recieved in his career up until this point for beating pacquiao. boxingscene is but one little sub-community for hardcore fans and boxing geeks - if you step into the real world you'll find reactions are much more grounded and realistic and i'm fairly certain a victory will secure mayweather as the boxer of the generation in the eyes of the consensus

who was supporting Baldomir? EVERYONE knew floyd would beat Baldomir, DLH and Hatton. Enough of the BS man.

lol...you kidding here..EVERYONE did not kNOW that Floyd would beat Baldo, DLH, and Hatton. and if they KNEW they did a good job of making it seem as though they did not. they acted like that POST fight, but PRE fight they talked about how these fighters would DESTROY Floyd.

I was around here when those things were said brah. True story.

[M.I Truth ?]

Anybody who is not biased will give him credit IF he beats Pac. Most people don't give him credit because they feel he doesn't take risks. Pac presents a fighter who can hurt you with one shot and has the speed and southpaw stance to land that shot. Pac after what he did to Cotto is the most dangerous fight out there. Sure you can say you will box Pac easily but saying it and doing it are two different things. I feel that Pac right now is more dangerous than the fighters people claim Floyd ducked. Its a high risk high reward fight.

Funny story....I watched the Baly fight at hooters. It was packed and a bunch of people said TATA would walk Floyd down and stop him. They said it would be wore than the Zab fight by far. After the fight the same guys started yelling "WELL HE WON'T BEAT OSCAR"! These guys were boxing fans not casuals too.

It seems like everyone is supporting Pacman more than they supported baldomir*(before the fight)* More than hatton *(before the fight)* More than Oscar *(before the fight)* and so on...

So will he get the respect if he beats pacman?

SD?

UD? (horrible picking apart)


Maybe even K.O.?


Just wanted to know what happens if floyd wins.. will it then be shane?Berto?Cotto?Margarito?

Not sure because it seems like we've all been down this "THIS IS THE GUY" road before right?

I personally think it would be floyds toughest fight ever after castillo and hernandez/oscar.

why is this if, would, could a favorite word for the *****s?

A handfull of posters will say so and so will KO Mayweather and you guys go off making threads saying "oh everyone thought Baldomir/Hatton/DLH would KO Mayweather, but he proved the haters wrong and doesnt get credit"

but unlike you guys, I come with facts.

Hatton will beat him

ppl really though that he would lose these fights. if they didn't really think that, they did a good job of making ppl believe them. however, POST fight it was different story of course.
