If Mayweather is a cherry picker than what would you call what Manny was/is doing? Catchweight title fights. Fighters coming off losses, lackluster wins or draws. Having fighters move up to fight him. What do you call them moves? I'm waiting.
Cottos win over Clottey (top welter at the time) !!
Bloddy and hard match..... lackluster ??
Hatton = Victories over Lazcano and Malignaggi (tko)
Clottey = Very close loss, but not disappointing.
Floyds skills are years beyond Ortiz... but he's not invincible, he's not unbeatable.
He just A. Hasn't fought anyone who can beat him yet, and B. Got to the age where ring wear has effected him yet..
But, this is the time in a fighters life (generally) where they start to lose a step, they start to see that split second timing go away a bit, the legs slow down a bit.. the reaction time isn't quite the same as it used to be.
Ortiz, no SUPERIOR boxer to Floyd, is still a young, prime, BIG (161lbs on FN) and Southpaw, coming off the best win of his career.
This will not be a walk in the park.
I favor Floyd, as anyone SHOULD favor Floyd... but this isn't easy.
Berto hit Ortiz with HUGE MONSTER shots, and it still did not deter him from attacking.
Mayweather's victory over Hatton was a fraud, due Floyd saw Hatton was a **** at 147.
Mosley, almost 2 years of inactivity.
Marquez, Floyd didn't even marked the agreed weight.
That still doesn't explain why Roach admitted that they've never agreed to random testing. And why is it that Pacquiao always says "uhh, talk to my promoter" whenever Mayweather is mentioned? That really helps your argument, eh?
When did that happen ?
And, it's funny you mentioning "uhh, talk to my promoter" a thing Pac says even before being a possible rival for Floyd. But let me show you why that's so funny:
Mayweather vs Ortiz > Pac vs Mosley, Pac vs Margarito, Pac vs Clottey
Mayweather vs Ortiz will do better PPV numbers than ANY of Pacs fights (EVER).
Mayweather will be paid more than Pac has (ever) for a fight.
Mayweather vs Ortiz fight itself means more to boxing than Pac vs Mosley, Pac vs Margarito, Pac vs Clottey. One could even argue Pac vs Cotto, Pac vs Hatton and Pac vs De La Hoya.
Mayweather's tune up is the #1 WW..... wow
Pac hasn't faced a #1 in any weight division in how long? Catchweight fight with Cotto? wow
*******s will have a field day repeating nonsense on the million and one threads that will be about Mayweather.... lol Mr irreverent is back and will steal the entire year.....
Manny Pacquiao (#1) vs Manny Pacquiao (#1) - The battle of equals
How can you fight #1 WW if YOU ARE THE #1 WW......
