Are Fighters The Same After Fighting Mayweather?

[EMACULATE]

Outside of Hatton, I'd love to hear one fighter he has ruined. Even that's highly debatable.

Diego Corrales was mentally distraught watch the interview and never really the menacing stalker as before. Here a few more names to look up and tell me what happened to these guys.
Angel Manfreddy
ndou
sosa
Gatti
Corley
Brusseles
Mitchell
Mosley
Chavez

When was Hatton rocked by Paulie? I saw a one sided beat down in favor of Hatton that night.

I dont think Hatton was mentally the same after Mayweather. Thing is compared to most ppl, Hatton did better then most of Floyd's opponents including Marquez and Shane.

Watched the fight again and you`ll see.Paulie caught Hatton with a 1-2 which rocked Hatton.

bull**** logic...martinez has not taken out any top opponents early before he ko pwill in 2, does that mean pwill punch resistance has weakened tremendously before that? or it's because martinez planted a perfect left cross on pwill's jaw?

Paul did take alot of punishments in his fights before he fought Martinez.And Martinez landed alot of left hooks in his first fight with Williams.


And did`nt Erislandy Lara whose not a big puncher able to hurt Williams numerous times?

I actually made a vid about this a year ago. I took the quote that Mayweather said for the Gatti presser about how fighters aren't the same mentally after he beats them.

Most of the guys he beat from '30 on up weren't the same. In N'dou's next fight after Mayweather he had to retire due to having collapsed after the bout. Eventually he came back but he just wasn't the same after fighting Mayweather. DLH look awful against Forbes after fighting Mayweather. Hatton looked bad against Lazcano and lackluster against Malignaggi. Mosley looked awful against Mora. At the time, Manfredy was highly regarded when Mayweather beat him and he wasn't the same afterward.

One could argue that Zab Judah found some success and perhaps JMM, I guess. But in all honesty, Mayweather changes fighters.

Yes sir!!!

PWill's punch resistance weakened after their first fight. If you watched the Cintron fight that took place after [because PWill knew he got a gift and strayed from Maravilla], Cintron landed a nice shot in the beginning of the 4th and he buckled. That fight was at '54. It also didn't help that at the time, he kept fluctuating in weight from '47-'60... which isn't a good idea when it comes to punch resistance (i.e. RJJ). If Lara was devastating puncher... yikes.

I would rather fight Mayweather and be "Ruined" than fight Pacquiao or Cotto and get "Ruined" by them, You get less punishement with mayweather and more payday...Win win..

Mayweather mentally ruins you.

If you look at the majority of all his fights, the majority of opponents give up after the sixth round:

Mosley
Oscar De La Hoya (stopped throwing the jab as some people like to incorrectly assume, when in fact he threw more jabs in the latter half of the fight, it's just that Floyd took it away)
Judah
etc the list goes on....

He just mentally ruins fighters, takes their confidence away, drains them completely; hence, why a lot of them display stamina problems.

[DE100]

I dont know about ruined but just like fighting a klitschko or Manny and losing, it can affect you mentally. Cause each are seen as the Top of the top, so when you've reached it, and failed at your ultimate goal it can affect you. Many fighters can fall into the feeling of like "What else is there really to accomplish?" kind of mood.

yes Mentally beaten....

[Ray*]

Mentally yes! He does embarrass you which makes it difficult for you to even show your face, I like JMM but the embarrassing way he beat JMM and making him miss, making him look like an amateur was too much, same goes with what he did to Mosley, Gatti,and Hatton.
