Comments Thread For: Mosley Plans To Take Mayweather Out, Then Pacquiao

[switchsouthpaw]

I view inactivity from a retirement as a clear disadvantage, but I see your point of view

Respectively not for an athlete like May, who spent most of his time in the gym anyway and wasn't even 30 yet and took limited punishment because of his defensive style, all those attributes negate inactivity.

I remember watching that fight against Marquez and when they came together at center ring I remember a few people laughing, you realized something silly was about to occur, Marquez fought his first fight at welterweight against Mayweather. Mayweather fought his first fight at welter against Sharmbe Mitchell...when you examine the facts you have to get a good laugh out of that.

The argument that the two best fighters fought each other that night are silly. We are talking about weight divisions people, not a guy who fights two divisions below you and is ranked number two and you're number one fighting at a much higher weight division...since 2005!!! Then get rid of weight divisions...whoever is on the pound for pound list can fight each other, regardless of weight class...see how silly that sounds?

I would say that two of the best fought that night, it just wasn't the best versions of the two. I know it wasn't an even fight and the only chance JMM or just about any other fighter moving up in weight would have had was if Floyd was weight drained. Floyd is pretty smart though, remember when he fought Oscar ,the fight was contested at 154 and Floyd came in at a weight he was comfortable with and didn't come in bloated and sluggish

Sharmba Mitchell was tough for some guys,just not Floyd lol.

so we finally agree. That was the point I was trying to make, that P.Will beat Margs at a time when he was percieved as the most feared fighter in the sport. And not only that he relentlessly called him out for almost two years, every since he felt that bested him in sparring. This was around the same time when Margs was kicking ass and taking names ,while calling out the likes of Floyd, SSM and Oscar

No you were right all along. that was at 147 too at 154 or 160 pwill would ****ing slaughter margs. pwill has shown he has a solid chin and i still don't think there is anyone who can beat him without knocking him out. I think mosley would be a relatively easy win for him. THERE ARE NO EASY RDS AGAINST A GUY WHO IS 6'1 HAS A REACH LONGER THAN THE KLITCHKO'S AND CONSTANTLY THROWS NEAR 100 PUNCHES PER RD. MAYWEATHER WOULD BE ****ED AGAINST PWILL.

When Marquez jumped up two divisions, which is what he did, notice I didn't say he moved up two divisions but rather jumped divisions which would mean his body wasn't prepared to carry the extra weight. Marquez fought the best fighter in the world Mayweather, which I give him the credit for at least trying but Mayweather deserves no credit for that fight, when you examine context. Anyone remember who Mayweather first fought when he became a welterweight? SHARMBE MITCHELL.

probably right but we are talking about two Al Haymon affiliated fighters. Thats Mayweather's out on that fight

mayweather by UD. mosley's fast, but not fast enough. he is also semi flat-footed. i always rated pacquiao as the one to beat mayweather cuz his handspeed is insane and also, he got footwork and rhythm and also add that he's a southpaw which is the antidote to the shoulder roll defense. paul williams has also the highest chance to beat mayweather in my view even if he aint that fast cuz of his size and length and also a southpaw, but that will never happen. Only a southpaw beats mayweather in my view and a fast one with a high work rate. The only way I see mosley winning this is if he lands a knockout punch just like tarver did to roy jones in their 2nd fight. But if pacquiao and mosley fight, ill go with mosley winning it by UD or KO.

What had happened was Marquez/Nacho tried to pull a "Manny" and thought they would have a weight drained Floyd in there!

Right and since that time Pwill has fought both Margarito pre-wraps and S. Martinez, one fighter Floyd had already turned down and another you and I both know Floyd would never ever dream of getting in the ring with.
