[Roja's480]

so manny and floyd are both fighting

whats the ****ing problem?i don't see you making threads and questioning who pac is fighting.

because his name is expose they expose him everyday

[BoxingFollower]

Robert Apodaca- so bummy, doesn't even have a record listed. Where did they find this guy? Skid row? A bit more research finds that RA, the only RA that Floyd could beat on, was in his very first fight at the time he faced Floyd.
Weights: Mayweather 131 lbs., Apodaca 130 lbs.
SO-smaller opponent

Reggie Sanders- world beater with a 1-1 record. I think he beat Leon Spinks.
Weights: Mayweather 131 lbs., Sanders 132.5 lbs.


Jerry Cooper - 6-3. a step up, but again, as with the two previous champions Floyd faced, it was against smaller men.
Weights: Mayweather 130 lbs, Cooper 129.5 lbs
ASO-another smaller opponent


Edgar Ayala - another Skid Row Promotions brawler with no record listed. Further research reveals this was his very first fight as well. I think this is the first fight to give a sign of what happens when Floyd steps up his competition. It gets a bit rough, so he lowers the standard for his next opponent, in this case, Edgar Ayala.
*its been said Ayala was picked because he was a good draw with the LA underpass crowd.

Weights: Mayweather 133 lbs, Ayala 131 lbs
ASO


Kino Rodriguez - This tall guy at 5 feet five and half inches came into the ring as Floyds most regarded and experienced opponent.

9-9-2 with 3 coming by stoppage or KO.

Weights: Mayweather 132 Rodriguez 130.
ASO


Bobby Giepert - Floyd, feeling invincible after defeating the Kong-like Kino, steps up in talent opposition again to take on the like sized Bobbo with a record of 19-8 (6 losses by KO at that time).

Weights: Mayweather 132 lbs, Giepert 133 lbs

*lets give a handclap here folks, he fought someone who finally wasn't smaller.

Tony Duran - The amazing 12-15 Tony Duran. Amazing in that up to that point, 12 fights ended by stoppage or KO, of Duran, not for!
Weights: Mayweather 129 Duran 133

* we like this, Floyd fighting guys similar in stature. Way to go big boy!



Larry O'shields - all five foot 6 of him with his gaudy and flamboyant record of 12-3-1 with 5 KOs, by him. Floyd getting a bit braver by the fight!
Weights: Mayweather 132 O'shields 131.75
ASO



Jesus Chavez - before you soil your chonies with seminal residue, let me remind you, not that Jesus Chavez, but the 1-13-1 Jesus Chavez. Did I mention that 11 of those 13 losses were by KO or stoppage?
1-13-1. In case you were wondering, Chavez stood a Godzilla-like 5 foot 5. Well, only if you had the toy.

Weights: Mayweather 130.5 Chavez 130
ASO


Louie Leija - Floyd steps it up big time, in a big way. Slaying the like sized Leija in 2 rounds knocking him down a few times. Heres the downer, and its totally not unlike Floyd,
but this was after Louie had just suffered a KO loss in his previous fight. Starting to notice some patterns developing. Floyd for some reason, can't stand latino fighters.
Weights: Mayweather 131 Leija 132




Felipe Garcia - The "Sears Tower" in boxing, standing in at a whopping 62 inches, here you have an opponent who was 20-18 at the time, but had been the loser in 10 of his previous 13 fights. It took Floyd 6 rounds to KO the midget in denial.

Weights: Mayweather 133.5 Garcia 130
ASO



Angelo Nunez - Finally, a bigger fighter, but, one who had lost his previous 3 fights.
Weights: Mayweather 130 Nunez 133




Shall I continue with another year of beating world champs and bigger men?

Robert Apodaca was just turning PRO's ALSO, who the hell was Floyd supposed to fight when he just came into the Pro's??? The number 1 P4P guy??? GOOD LORD

[IronDanHamza]

Put it like this.

Ortiz himself is better than ALL 4 of Pacquiaos old opponents.

Clottely - a bigger joke than Ortiz, wasn't even on the top 5 P4P, he was number 9.

Margarito - a cheater, slow, coming of a tremendous career lost against Mosley, regardless of that little unknowm warm-up match he had.

Miguel Cotto - not the same guy, after THOR (Margarito) wore him out with those bricks.

Shane Mosley - The same guy that Pacquiao fans called old, and said that Floyd was picking on a old man, the same guy that FREDDIE ROACH called old.
The same guy who had problems with a B-Class fighter Mora.

Joshua Clottey wasn't in the Top 10 P4P List when he fought Pacquaio and I'm quite sure he never has been.

exactly this guy keeps exposing himself

Actually your right, I trield to give Pac to much credit there. Lol, boy Pac surely knows how to pick him.

[Bushbaby]

Being in a FOTY means squat.

Andre Berto being number 2 in a division that has fizzled out since 2006-2008, is not impressive.

Expose owning himself,or herself.Welterweight has fizzled out & has not been impressive since 06 right??But Pacman is king of the that division,further more he's chosen to only beat on the shot old fighters there.Berto was 3rd ranked at welterweight.Ortiz beat him,Floyd nor Manny did.Now Floyd may fight Ortiz.Ortiz is better than Clottey,Margarito,Mosley & now Marquez.

Manny, the greatest boxer of all time, the P4P king was scared as **** of Berto. Regardless of who would win, Arum and Pac ducked him 2 times.

They threw his name out there before the Margarito fight and went the other way, then before the Mosley fight.

They say Berto is unknown, has no fans...BERTO HAS THOUSANDS, MAYBE EVEN MILLIONS OF FANS, JOSHUA CLOTTEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ANY FANS IN HIS OWN COUNTRY.

They say Clottey was a draw...??? BERTO WAS A BIGGER DRAW THEN CLOTTEY EVER WAS.

[BoZz]

this fight means more than duckqiaos last 7 fights..he fought bumms coming from losses who couldn't pull the trigger anymore and that all at catch weight..top rank bumms hahahah

[THE REED]

Since when is this fight happening? Did I miss something?

And it's actually a great fight.
