[k1llu]

If pacquiao KO's floyd, would that make him a shot fighter?

Keep dreaming fagot

Surely he is too inactive.

Is he the best pure boxer in the world? Yes. Is he still prime? H*ll no. IMO, the last time we saw a prime mayweather was against balmdomir (hatton if you want to push it.) Against dlh, he was flatfooted and seemed a bit slower than his normal self (fight was at 154 with 10oz gloves.) Againt hatton, he was forced to fight but looked better than he did against dlh. Against marquez, we saw the vintage mayweather defense back, minus some of the bounce in his legs but still a good flashback. Againt mosley, we saw a different floyd. He was a lot more flatfooted and was actually dictating the pace of the fight. His hands were also high, as opposed to the shoulder roll stance he had up until round 2. People point out that he was so flatfooted due to him getting hurt by the brutal overhand right from mosley, but that was just a different mayweather in there. He no longer has the bounce in his legs like he used to, but lets not forget he isnt 28 anymore.

No, his physical prime was when he was obviously younger

also for the idiots talking about mosley, he was totally shot against floyd, mora and will be against pac. there will be no difference in the mosley either guy fights, both shot. too bad floyd avoided him when mosley was in his prime, would have been an epic fight

what is wrong with you? describing how good floyd looked against hatton or marquez? guy had a huge ****ing advantage

also dont give me this pure boxer garbage, you obviously have no clue about the spot

its a simple enough answer, he isnt in his prime, the man is what 33 now and nearly 34, he is slower and less sharper than before.

also there is no such thing as a pure boxer as there are many different types of styles.

the other guy is correct, keep dreaming mate, you are living ina fantasy world if you think floyd will ever fight pac. he will only fight against guys he knows he can win for sure against

[ThePrince]

He's shot, lost his legs (flat-footed), and is very inactive... that's why Pac wants to fight him now. He only takes on damaged goods

So you are saying he had an easy time with hatton? You point to the advantage he had in size in both fights. If you say this and agree that he is past it, then floyd must really suck. How do you measure how good he is/was based on a size advantage when he obviously looked past his prime. We are talking about how good floyd looked in his fights, not about size advantages. I dont answer in one sentence because i want to state the facts to support my statement. you said to answer a simple question, yet you had to get into the size advantage. Wake up buddy, you just did the same thing. Where in this thread are we talking about size? As far as my knowledge of the sport goes, dont even go there. Ive boxed and fought plenty so leave that bs to someone else. you didnt even start the thread, so there is no point in insulting my answer. You have your opinion and i have mine.
