Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Will Not Beat Mosley, Says Ariza

[mrjoeblive]

He didnt't acept 50/50 the first time....he offerred Manny 50%.

Why should he accept 50/50 if he beats Shane and his PPV does better than Manny's. Boxing does not work like that and never has. It's a bad business decision to give him 50% if ur PPV destroys his. Arum and *******s used the Cotto numbers as justification for why Manny should get more or at a min 50%----> now u want to use Floyd doing the exact same thing and call it a duck.........can u say contradictiory??????

very good counter check. but i dont think this dude will hear you.

Dude how you figure that, Marquez is tough as nails and no one has knocked him out, he's been down but never out. Just cause he weighed less than Floyd doesn't make him any less tough, or with any less heart.

people forget, floyd weighed less than baldomir, de la hoya, gatti, coralles, and many other fighters, yet he still dominated them---excuses are just that to people, excuses---roy jones went up to heavyweight and dominated ruiz----pac beat oscar---i mean, it's skill people----if the shoes were reversed--i bet you floyd would still dominate marquez if he moved up----if jmm was the bigger man, floyd would still beat him---

Would have been a different fight at 135
Floyd takes this easily.

Had JMM been as successful in his fight with Mayweather as he was against Pacquiao would the discussion of weight be an issue. Pacquaio moved up and was successful against Cotto and DLH so that's ok. JMM made the decision to move up in weight just like Pacquiao did but he got in the ring with someone who had too much skill and got outclassed. On fight night, Pacquaio was still smaller than DLH but his skill spoke not his weight. JMM was not fat as many keep suggesting either, look at the post fight interview and he was just as lean as he always was. Mayweather moved up to 154 to fight DLH but again it was skill not size that won the fight. In fact I can almost guarantee you that DLH was weighing at least 165 for that fight compared to Mayweather's 150-155 tops. It wasn't weight but skill that carried the night.

Why didnt Manny take Marquez out easily? He fought him for 24 rounds and knocked him down 4 times....

isnt Pac faster, more skilled & STRONGER than Mayweather?

come on dude pac fought marquez in his prime division. marquez was there for the taking but floyd did floyd as he says.

Ali fought the best and gave us classic fights. there's no comparision at all.

So if Floyd fights JMM, Mosley, and Pac in succession is that not the best? Is the so called P4P #1, #2, and #3 not the best?

[counterpunch]

even Pacman, well regarded as P4P and toe to toe fighter did not trade punches against DLH in the beginning rounds! he even look funny turning his back against DLH and run scared of DLH left hook. Winning is what it counts and strategy plays an important role in every opponents style. In fact, PBF used ropa dope and absorbs DLH punches in the beginning rounds compare to Pac who box and outrun the old and drain DLH.

how am i making excuses? i have been saying this from my first post. his ppv numbers are down to his persona because he plays the bad guy, without this he would do **** numbers because of his style. he needs a persona to generate interest to the casual fans because his style is not appealing.

LMAO...but the FACT remains is that peopkle still buy it right?

Here is the reality for almost every fight that Floyd wins, his detractors create an excuse for it. They cant just accept that Floyd beat them with his superior skill.

Name me 3 All Time GREAT fighters that Floyd hasnt fought while he has been a pro

at the latter part of his career he decided to man up. exclude marquez from that list because that was a glorified sparring session. You cant compare ali to floyd because Ali fought the best consistantly throughout his career and gave us memorable fights, floyd has not.
