mayweather, a product of subtly evasive handling?

[led]

"Mayweather has a real knack for taking out guys after they have no steam left, and then banking on their reputations. In boxing, reputations die hard and always long after fighters. But that only means they’re always up for grabs and personal gain.
De la Hoya, Corrales, Gatti, Baldomir. All of these guys were finished by the time Mayweather got to them. Just look at their records. Baldomir had nine losses going into the Mayweather bout. De la Hoya had four, as did Marquez. In the last case, Marquez was coming up in weight to welterweight, which put him at a huge disadvantage. Gatti was incredibly shot by the time he took on Mayweather, having already six defeats and a triad of devastating bouts with Micky Ward. See a trend starting to emerge here? Mayweather isn’t so much the product of incredibly talent; he’s the product of opportunistic and subtly evasive handling."

[B]what you guys think of this?[/B]

Load of **** is what i think and what any one with any brains at all would also think. So Baldomir was finished by the time Floyd fought him?? Well excuse me, here i thought those 9 losses came early in his career when he was still selling feather dusters on the streets of Buenos Aires. He hadn't lost in 9 years going into the fight with Floyd and had just beaten Judah and Gatti, arguably the 2 best wins of his entire career. He was on a roll, on fire. What ppl don't realise is that Floyd didn't really want to fight Baldomir at all. He was forced to because the other option was Margarito and Bob Arum. Team Mayweather were concerned heading into the bout. They put a weight penalty in the contract above the norm and were very concerned with Baldo's weight---->They made it clear if he came in over the fight was off. If you all rewatch the fight you will see Floyd struggled for the first 3 rds and even commented on how awkward Baldomir was in btw rds in the corner. This is why he was subsequently hired to be a sparring partner for Floyd.

Corrales?? WTF is the reasoning there?? He was young and undefeated. Look at the names he beat after Floyd. They both cleaned out the division, then Floyd cleaned his clock.

ODLH?? Floyd fought him as a welter. Guess the air dried beef Oscar that fought Pac was in better shape??

So again, what do "I" think?? I think whomever wrote this is unfamiliar with the sport of boxing. I think they are a tool and i don't care for his/her worthless analysis on any topic related to boxing.

Stopped reading at 'Corrales was finished'

[jri9d0]

One can argue the same about DLH, with the exception to Tito and Ike Quartey Oscar fought a who's who of reputable fighters after they have been either past their prime or shot. Case and point:

Vargas
Whitaker
JCC
Molina
Gatti (though that could be a swing vote)

These are just a few off the top of the dome.

Name fighters who won 6 world titles in five weight classes?

If 'subtle evasive tactics' is all that is needed, we'd see loads of fighters doing it.

[AntonTheMeh]

this can be said about most top fighters at one point or another. if its not that some of these guys where "midget out of a cannon" shot, its that they were weight drained.
