Comments Thread For: Mayweather Sr. "Him Beating Margarito Don't Mean ****"

[Iceta Lives]

Floyd is ducking Pac to the fullest, but this is exactly true what Floyd Sr is saying about this fight. Margarito is a horrible choice of an opponent for Pacquiao to fight. He should've tried to up one on Floyd and go after someone like Sergio Martinez. The fact Mosley looked like shit against Mora makes that win by Floyd even more meaningless despite how may PPVs it may have done.

Really? What about the Mosley win against Margarito? That fight
was before Floyd. Mora came after Floyd so you could say that
Floyd made Mosley look like that against Mora. Anyways, Mosley
has never looked good against guys who box and use the ring.

err...actually Coralles was way bigger than Mayweather

I corrected him earlier. Seems to me like a lot of Pacquiao fans
don't even watch boxing like that or know what has been going
on in the sport. Just off of the strength that he would say that
Mayweather NEVER fought anyone bigger than him? Ridiculous.

Coralles was taller but was not physically stronger than Floyd when they fought. At the 130 division, Coralles had weight issues and had plans to move up to 135. A fight with Floyd convinced him to stay some more.

The problem is that Coralles came into the fight with many issues. He had the flu that week, was weight drained and was thinking about having to go to prison after the fight.

At that point, Corralles should have moved up to 135.

At over 150, being weight drained will be less of an issue for Margo than if he would continue to fight at 147. So if Margo trains properly, he should feel physically stronger now.

Floyd Sr has a every right to be bitter on Pac. His career as a trainer took a nosedive the moment Pac polaxed Hatton in their fight last year. His behavior after the fight didn't help either. Leaving his fighter out on the cold while he try to explain himself to the media on how he wasn't responsible on ****ing up Hatton's training.

Pre-Pac, Floyd Sr was one of the sought after trainers. Hatton and Dela Hoya
at one point where at a bidding war trying to secure his services. Imagine two of the biggest draw at that time fighting over the services of Sr. Aside from that he also had Leila Ali, an upcoming Guzman.. But everything changed after that embarassing loss.

So now who does he have left..an over the hill Vargas. So yeah, he has a lot of bitterness towards Pac and Roach..

Styles make fights and Floyd would have always beat Corrales.
Diego was a straight power puncher and slugger. If you took
the fight to him then you have a very high possibility of losing.
Floyd out boxed him period. Never gave Diego a chance to get
into fight and Dropped him like 5 times and if he was that exhausted
he would not have gotten up. You know who was really weight
drained and weak compared to Diegos Corrales? Oscar De La Hoya
when he fought Pac. Also the post I replied to said that Floyd
never fought anyone bigger than him and Corrales was taller
and a bigger puncher.

Beating a Margarito who's immensely hungry as his future is on the line means an awful lot. Just as it would mean an awful lot if Floyd fought him and beat him as well.

The jealousy is ridiculous. People like Sr are killing boxing.

Floyd Sr. said Floyd Jr. ruined Mosley.

Cotto beat Mosley who Pac beat the **** out of, so mayweathers win means nothing.

considering that Cotto beat Mosley during his prime, right Gorilla Snr?
