Mayweather fights a lot of blown up guys.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

D4, you're starting to frustrate me.

If Cotto, who you don't think is naturally a 154lber pushed Floyd around, what does that say?!

Stop making sense. I dont think its allowed in this thread. After all, the greats gave away their physical advantages all the time. People are so desperate to see the guy lose. Its sad.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

So according to the TS, Floyd Mayweather Jr is the only fighter in HiSTORY who cant fight a fighter who has moved up in weight.


Which makes zero sense considering WW was Floyds 4th weight class.lol.

Cottos a very strong man you can tell that in any fight. The fact that he's not a natural lmw means nothing he chose to go there and had adjusted to the weight
By the time they fought.


But I have to disagree with you saying that's the most Floyd's been pushed around since JLC he was pushed around by Oscar and Hatton who are both much bigger people. Just cause hattons short and stalky doesn't mean he isn't bigger. Floyd was also pushed around by Ortiz when he could get to him he would keep him on the ropes when he got him there.

Hatton tried to but he was out muscled on the inside and it sapped his strength as well as frustrated him. Cotto actually had some success when pushing Floyd around, unlike Hatton and Oscar.

As for Floyd fighting the margos pwill and Martinez of the world. Well some say he ducked Margo some say he went on to fight for bigger money mpo is he fought oscar who's bigger then Margo so that evens it self out although he was past prime

Pwill he could have fought him but what's the point nothing to gain to much to lose but still no excuse but when would they have fought? 07-09 Ish? Floyd fought Oscar in 07 who's as big as pwill just not as tall. Then he fought hatton so that year is closed he retired came back and fought Marquez waste of a fight but he couldn't of fought pwill he was to busy fighting at 154 for that to be a option hes been at 154 since 09 and by the time Floyd was really in the mix again he had gotten sparked by Martinez

As for Martinez he started at 147 went to 154 now he's at 160 hell no.

What do you think Margarito would do that others couldn't?

PWill is a physical freak and Martinez is a middleweight, 30lbs higher than what Mayweather's natural weight is.

Oscar's pushing and flurries against the ropes and constantly causeing Floyd to fight backing up shows the he was the stronger man and that Floyd didn't have the advantage that's what led most people to think the fight was so close.

Hatton was doing well staying in Floyd's facing pushing him around at times he didn't get out muscled he got tired and frustrated because he couldn't hit him and kept getting hit with clean right hands and that stiff jab to the body.

Cotto had success for the same reason Oscar did for a few rounds the good jab and strength

Out muscled him, worked for 3 minutes of every round, walked through his punches

Come on, they would have been good fights if they would have happened, I would have liked to have seen them.

It always good to see how a fighter can deal with a size disadvantage, or to overcome any disadvantage.

Oscar's best punch in that fight was his jab, a lot of the punches Oscar was throwing when he had Floyd up against the ropes were not landing.

It was a close fight, but Oscar faded in the home stretch, and as a fight is was pretty boring. Oscar had lost the timing in the right hand and lacked stamina.

I know all that what's your point?

I don't think the fight was all that close. To be honest some of the rounds were close but depends how you score it I guess.

It's not the size or physicality* Mayweather has problems with. Yes, they would've been good fights but I don't think Margs walks through Mayweather's punches.

*A top pressure fighter who handles Mayweather physically and ****s to the body would cause him the most trouble.

But without the first bit, the rest is just a recipe for Mayweather to pot-shot for 12 rounds en route to a wide points decision.
