[Rome-By-Ko]

who are you talking about is unproven? give me some of what you are smoking on b/c i hope you arent talkign about may

yes unproven against elite fighter's lol damn money fans take one part of a post and run with it he has not prove anything to me as far as elite fighters go how many does he have one ?

[Sugar Q]

i trully want some of that **** you smoking if anyone get stop it's gonna be money i also feel you are giving a fighter who is unproven against elite guy's so much credit it amazing i can't be mad you like floyd and that's your opinion but i would wait to see what he does against a very game elite fighter before i go putting him in a fight with pwill a monster none stop punching beast of a fighter but i would not put it past that money would take pwill cause he is another who has not been in with elite fighter's like that and i think pav would have laid him out

All that non-stop punching will be neutralize by a intelligent fighter. All Paul has going is his height and punch output. It would be a tough fight but Floyd can do it. As for the elite fighters Floyd has fought everyone that would fight him at 147 and below. You cant fault him for guys who wouldnt fight him like Pacroid, Zu, Shane, Cotto none of the others matter.

I think Floyd will go down as one of the smartest fighters ever. I dont think Forrest, Winky, Williams or anyone below 160 would beat him. He would have been in over his head against Robinson, Leonard, Hearns and went through hell with Aaron Pryor but these guys today wouldnt beat him. He would never run in trying to knock Forrest or Winky out he would fight intelligently. Williams would be tough but I think if he comes back down to 147 Floyd can get him cause he fights all wrong and makes far too many mistakes. Mosley will never beat Floyd and I'm a Mosley fan but Mosley is gonna get smashed and I would not be surprised to see a tko stoppage.

no i think forrest would have beaten floyd. 2 different styles but forrest was jsut as good as a boxer as floyd. where floyd uses his arms and upper body movement as defense forrest used his legs and distance as his. his jab and reach and boxing ability n footwork would have given floyd all kidns of problems and he was strong and fast. to me it would have looked like floyd outboxing a great boxer in marquez just bad style matchup. where marquez couldnt counter punch the fast longer rangy boxer in floyd. but besides him i think floyd had the ability to beat anyone at those weights

Vernon was definitely tough but after seeing what Quartey and Mayorga did to him I got floyd outboxing him. Floyd's a crafty dude, I had Corrales when they fought but Floyd made me a believer. Vernon at 147 would be tough but you have to be a mental animal to beat Floyd unless your far stronger with a crazy Hearns jab. I saw Vernon get frustrated too many times against lesser fighters and that would spell his doom against Floyd.

i think he would have had a hard time with cotto and margacheato and his hand wraps lol cotto is strong and a have puncher and before that beating he took to margas he found ways to win i felt mosley beat or at least should have been a draw but even in that fight he showed he could box margarcheato would have taken all money light punches and put the plaster to work on him lol im not sayin money would have lost to either man but he would have had a hard time

lol you had corrales lol floyd was in the olympics and was groom to be a superstar corrales was not in the same league as money but they try to sell the fight cause of his punching power damn you fell for it and i second that i think forest and winky would have been hard fight's and even a vargas

Love is blind you ignorant pup. Don't even begin to patronise me with your ill thought, juvenile verbal blows. How many rounds of boxing have you put in the bank may I ask?.

Floyd Mayweather, in the eyes of many proven boxing enthusiasts, is NOTORIOUS for ducking elite competition. This is not merely my opinion, nor is it breaking news. This little slice of boxing trivia has been echoed around the boxing know for more years than you cold count on one hand. Whether you refuse to accept the reality is your own choice. I would advise you to open the curtains and switch the light on.

I learnt boxing in the ring, from an early age. I have enough fights under my belt to entertain an opinion. I've also trained and fought Muay Thai in the motherland of Siam. I kicked banana trees until my shins bled, and threw leather until my bones hurt. Physicalitis aside, I have studied boxing for the most part of my life, under the influence of many great trainers, some of whom you would have read about and idolised.

Now, if you care to make an educated rebuttal, be my fu**ing guest, but don't insult yourself by posting such childish diatribe. Maybe if you took Floyd's balls out of your mouth, you might be able to speak with some kind of clarity.

Wow, now thats telling him, i thought he responded to somebody else's post. lmao. And i don't think its been a matter of floyd ducking people (though your right some boxing pugilist do say that,) i think he doesnt want to be associated with Bob Arum in anyway, shape or form. Floyd has always stated that Bob Arum owes him money still from the Gatti fight and since then is when i can remember all these rumblings about him not wanting to fight Margarito, (which in reality turned out to be a good thing), Cotto, and now Pacquiao. All guys signed with Top Rank.

Its hard to say that a guy with 5 belts in 6 different weight classes is afraid of anybody. I would say that he took the path of least resistance since he moved up to welterweight and started making millions. Thats not to say he's afraid of anybody. Nobody accused Mosely 11 years ago of ducking mayweather when mayweather called him out. That's because with Mosely at the pinnacle of his career it didn't make business sense for him to take a high risk, low reward fight in Mayweather. Because as good as Mayweather was/is he was relatively unknown to the mainstream in 1999 and Mosely couldn't AFFORD to lose at that time.

But the guy is right to an extent when he mentions that boxing is the art to hit and not getting hit. And when you go by that assessment,there is nobody in compu-box stat history better than Floyd.

mayorga didnt outbox him. mayorga caught forest getting reckless. and got caught. can happen to the best of them. the rematch he lsot his main weapon his jab and mentally never recovered from the first lost. ike was a good tough guy liek a clotty would never be an easy fight for nayone and forrest wasnt the same guy who beat mosley.

the forest that fought mosley IMO would beat floyd 9 out of 10 times

[boxer2k5]

vargas would have been tough fight for floyd at 154 but a winable one at that. i think mentaly floyd would beat vargas and find away to pick him apart. and like i said it depends on what winky showed up to the fight. the verybest of winky would give floyd one hell of a fight but thats what he would need to be to beat floyd his best. forrest at his prime i think takes floyd jsut my opinion tho

[jayhova29]

Only way Floyd would stop Mosley is if Shane became extremely frustrated and was getting caught over and over again and quits to stop more useless punishment...****m aint throwin in the towel...

Floyd isn't active enough and doesn't punch hard enough to stop Shane...

Very true. If anybody wins by knockout its shane, by decision i favor Mayweather.
