Floyd Mayweather Jr.: The Truth

[-Swizzy-]

He won't clean out 140 because he won't stay there long enough. He's already talking about fighting Spinks and De La Hoya.

I'm not sure he cleans out 140 anyway, though. I don't like people hopping weight classes just to get dream match-ups or higher paydays. It can end up backfiring (right, Roy?)

Mayweather got staggered by some Corley punches at 140 - can you imagine if Gatti lands something big? I think Mayweather's very, very skilled, but I'd rather see him fighting Morales, Corrales, Casamayor right now.

But he wants to do like Zab Judah and jump around weight classes.

Whatever keeps his hands off his wife, I guess.

Please, Gatti would get tickled if he got punched by Mayweather. He's been hit A LOT harder. Lathough I do think he can beat Gatti on points, but in terms of hurting the sob? No way.

oh man, this is so funny. mayweather haters not seeing mayweather for what he is. not much has changed since 2004. But instead of Gatti now its Margarito and Cotto<--- 2 more guys that would lose BADLY to mayweather.

Well I think the first quote was spot on... if Gatti connected on Mayweather like Corley did, it wouldn't have been good for Mayweather at all, considering Corley is not a power puncher, which means he got a perfect shot in on the chin. Gatti, who had decent power probably would have KO'd Mayweather had he landed cleanly.

The second post is ridiculous. Mayweather tickled his eye closed and tickled him so hard that he had him hurt for about 50% of the fight.

Box on the move is PBF's best tactic here and he does that best. If he ever gets tied up by Gatti, Floyd will crumple with one haymaker. Gatti will just smile at PBF's punches but Arturo will definitely be outclassed.

Gatti to Floyd in the ring: I know you can outpoint me kid but please stop massaging my abs and face with your gloves.

man o man.

this thread was made when mayweather was just another top fighter, very few people hated him at the time of this thread, people didint know what mayweather had at 140 yet, we really didint know how good hed be at all past 135, you cant say the people who said this stuff were haters, while the assesments were off badly, gatti fighting mayweather was a concern because of the wars gatti was coming off of and how it seemed like if you went toe to toe with him, youd die.

He would get more respect out of a Hatton, Mosley or DLH fight.
At least we know those guys are the real deal.

He fought all except for Mosley and he still gets no respect.
