Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: There is No Doubt Mayweather Beats Pacquiao

[GRUSTLER]

Anyone his own size who can put on pressure would beat him. Castillo already did it, Margarito would've done it, thus the duck on Frauds part.

His best win is a shot 38 year old Mosley on back to back training camps that almost knocked his ass out.

Figure it out kid.

Could have sworn there was a rematch where Mayweather soundly
beat Castillo. Too bad Pac didn't do it with Marquez.

The thing is, Pac is so fast that he can counter Mayweather's counter if Floyd chooses to open up.

While you're right that Pac is likely to get tagged a lot more, that would mean that Floyd is more willing to open up, which against Pacquiao is a dangerous proposition and one that Floyd will not be risking.

The more I think of this fight, the more I realize that Floyd will either potshot to victory, or Pac outhustles Floyd to victory.

I don't see a KO for either side.

Pac is indeed fast but some defense and timed counter punching
will disrupt Manny's whole rhythm. Pac's been tagged more in his last
fights then Mayweather has in his entire career as a pro. No way
Pac gets off as many shots on Floyd as he did on his past opponents.

That rematch doesn't negate Castillo's first win.

Too bad there wasn't a rubbermatch so that everyone would stfu.

And Mayweather is pretty fast too.

Floyd won both fights..lets get that straight..just like pacman beat jmm the second time.

Ok whatever man. He won the second match. Castillo
didn't ask for a 3rd fight, right or wrong? The one who
should be having a rubber match is Manny Pacquiao with
Juan Manuel Marquez because he has more to prove because
Pac arguably lost both. Even in a 3rd match Floyd beats
Castillo but with Manny, until he does, will always be
questioned about the Marquez fights.

I would say the first fight, I can see giving it to Pac because
of the 3 KD's but the 2nd? Pac lost that one. Anyway you
spin it. People question Pac on both Marquez fights but not
Floyd for both Castillo fights.

Margarito is a walking punching bag. ........ Margarito is a cheat and all his wins are questionable. Floyd would dissect margarito like it was nothing, he is too slow, throws wide punches, and has no defense. This guy has never even been on the p4p list. What makes you think he could ever beat the best fighter in boxing?

Mosley was so shot that he was ranked P4P#3 and # 1 @ WW...

You, in part, answered your own question buddy!

lol!

Mosley became P4P #3 and #1 WW because he beat the Margarito that you just discredited. Furthermore, that Margarito stepped into the ring knowing that he just got caught cheating.

As for Mosley,
- Margarito better style for old Mosley.
- he fought Margarito in January 2009.
- he fought Floyd in May 2010.
- he was inactive (16 months).
- he was old (~39).
- he may have been over-trained (2 training camps in a row). Can't be easy for that 39 year old body.
- Before Margarito, Mosley looked average against Mayorga and almost lost.
- Before Mayorga, Mosley lost.
- Mosley this year lost twice.

What Punches????

It seems that some people live in the moon or came from another galaxy. What problem Floyd has vs left handed boxers?? I would not star a flame with the haters, but the numbers will show who is incorrect, has a prejudice or simply is lying to try to sell lies about Mr Perfecto. Lets examine the left handed boxers. Judah 485 -89 18%. Judah power shots 177-64 36%. Mayweather vs Judah 441-205 49%!!!!! Power shots 322-158 49%. It seems that your stats are so wrong or you dont know what you are talking about. Land 49% of the punches and taking only 18% with a world class fighter is a reflect on a problem???? Next left handed boxer turn is Sharmba Mitchell. Floyd 85 punches landed in 5.5 round Mitchell 31. 31/5= 6.2 punches by round!!!!!! Floyd 43% accuracy Mitchell 11%. Another example of how biased and blind a person could be, and another fight that contradicts your opinion. Next boxer to the plate.... this time is Corley who fought brave and hard fight toe to toe with Floyd. This that means that he was successful?? Floyd landed 47% of his 50 punches per round!!!! and 53% of his power shots!!! Outlanded Corley 283 to 150!!!! 150 punches in 12 rounds means 12 punches landed per round!!!!!. It seems that your sources are badly biased against Floyd, or you don't understand much about boxing. If you think that this numbers reflect any kind of problem then the rest of the boxers are a crap. Don't let your hate blind your reason, that numbers are numbers that most hall of famers never accomplish in their whole careers, and the problem is that this numbers repeat again and again and again no matter is the opponent is right handed or not!!!
