happy to note posts in this thread are generally objective and full of insights...

one thing i could just venture to add is the intimidation factor.....

yes, both are very good and well experienced fighters.................

but i do not subscribe to the notion that these two guys are immune to intimidation..

and intimidation gets in to the head...

as this will be a big factor in the fight.....

I see people putting Castillo 1 as the way to beat Mayweather as if Mayweather had not improved since 2002

A Castillo style fighter on Castillo's level would have a better chance of beating Floyd today then Castillo did when they fought. Mayweather isn't as light on his feet and doesn't throw the combos he did then.

first of all, i always state my opinion. you can sit in your chair and "drop knowledge" on me all you like.... bottom line is you and i can have TOTALLY different perspectives of how floyd fights. i pretty much agree with your
assessment on page 6, but to say floyd is UNBEATABLE is a bit much.

like i always said, floyd demoralizes his opponents & takes their hearts... then once that happens, its a walk in the park for floyd. a hesitant fighter that throws a weak jab will get countered all night. ive been following floyd for a bit... BUT i can honestly tell you i dont keep a vault of his fight tapes.

trust me, im aware of his game & i LOVE debating with knowledgable fight fans, and if i get schooled i dont mind.... but to get condescended to because i dont see it the way you see it is pretty funny... ive watched enough floyd to TRULY appreciate his talent, ive tried to apply it in sparring, and i can honestly say ALOT of his game is UNSEEN....

but i stick to my guns in saying that floyd is formulaic.... he sits back, slowly takes away the jab... stiff straights to the body... step back... feints.... etc...
lets just say his FORMULA works... and YES, he makes others formula NOT work.

you were just owned.......

you were just owned.......

in a room full of floyd fanboys... of course.

its funny, you guys are so passionate about floyd... but claim to be 'boxing fans'... but i would LOVE to hear you guys break down the finer points in pac's game... also sergios.... even wlad's....

pacquiao is the worst nightmare for mayweather

but unlike haggler- pacman knows how to box aswell

.....and hagler couldn't box?

you had me until you said this...

watch some hagler footage pre hearns, duran, srl...

Kostya Tszyu lost to vince phillip and ricky hatton. Mayweather would UD him all day long sorry to tell you.

i think if you expect to get hit, and counter his counters, you'll be on the right track...

since we are talking hypotheticals a prime Tszyu would have been a IMO a competitive bout for the Floyd that fought at 140, regarding Hatton Floyd fought a great fight against him but also caught him at a good moment in his career and 7lbs above his best.
