Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs. Guerrero is Close To Done For May 4th

[Alx.]

will be a good fight imo

Canelo is a serious threat but he is too big and strong for Floyd, just like he'd be for Manny, Floyd started as a feather...Guerrero has more skills than Ortiz, Berto, is more disciplined and has shown true desire. Other thing is, he is a P4P fighter through weights!

[renren40]

this is yet another horrible fight ... He is scared of Canelo and his monster hooks....

main stream doesnt even know this guy pbf is fighting

IF Robert is supposedly the easier of the two, consider that Floyd had a bit of a short stint away from his normal routine, getting older and in his inactivity needs tune ups before fights like Canelo (which will probably turn into an easy fight and you guys will still complain that there's someone else he's ducking like a rematch with Marquez)

In my years of being a boxing fan I have never seen so much hate towards an undefeated fighter. Its crazy how people call themselves boxing fans but yet s**t on one of the best fighters in this era. Floyd Mayweather is the only fighter in history (and please correct me if I'm wrong) to have captured titles in five divisions while maintaining an undefeated streak. I mean come on that is one hell of an accomplishment. What I don't get is that when Floyd fought DLH, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, and Cotto they were all bums, past their prime, etc. Floyd caught more criticism then praise for those fights. But when Pacquiao fights and beats these guys its like the best thing since sliced bread.

But lets break down the comparisons and you tell me whose the better fighter

Lets start off with DLH. When Floyd fought DLH it was at 1541bs, Oscar was strong and comfortable at the weight while Mayweather at the first time in his career had to come up in weight. Hell Floyd didnt even weigh in at the full limit of that fight, he was 150. Floyd wins the fight by SD. Floyd doesnt get much credit. Okay here comes Pacquiao. The fight was fought with a catch weight of 145, pretty much the welterweight limit. DLH hadnt fought at that weight since his knockout win of Arturo Gatti which was seven years earlier. No matter how good in shape you are, you can't possibly perform at your greatest in a situation like that. Granted it was DLH's decision to do that. Pac beats him like crazy and DLH quits. Now everybody is calling Pacquiao the greatest. Are you serious? He beat a walking zombie. I knew how the fight was gonna go the moment the weight was announced. Point is Mayweather fought and beat DLH when he was stronger and comfortable, Pacquiao didnt.

Now lets do Cotto. With Pac and Cotto yes it was another catch weight fight. The contracted limit was 145 again. I always questioned the fact that roach was confident in pacquiao, but yet never wanted him to go the full limit as to protect him. Are you serious? Anyways the fight happens and Pac beats the crap out of him. Good win for Pac and gets more praise. Fast forward to when May fights him. They actually fight at 154, which was Cotto's division. Cotto is strong and comfortable at that weight, also coming off a 3-win knockout streak at the time. Again there is no catch weight. Floyd actually moves up to fight him, a task that Pacquiao was reluctant to do when offered a rematch. Hmmmm? If he is so great then why didnt he just move up. Anyways Floyd pulls off a SD win and gets no praise at all. Just "good win for Floyd" even though he put himself at higher risk then Pacquiao.

Last but not least, Juan Manuel Marquez. In four fights Pacquiao has a draw, 2 struggled wins, and recently got knocked unconcious by the mexican legend. Floyd fights him once and completely schools him for 12 rounds. He accomplished in 1 fight that Pacquiao failed to do in 4, which is get a solid win against Marquez. And people used the weight as an excuse. That is a load of crap because Pacquiao fought Marquez twice at that weight and came out with a controversial win and a knockout loss.

So when you look at these comparisons how can someone who truly understands this sport place Pacquiao over Mayweather. When it comes to excitement, yeah Pacquiao has the edge. But in regards to overall skill come on its a no brainer. And what I find completely hilarious is that when it comes to Mayweather these opponents they were cherry picked bums. HELLO! Pacquaio fought the same guys so what does that say about him. Are so called fans so blinded by pacquiaos offensive style that it clouds their judgment on who is actually the better fighter. All i have to say is Floyd is undefeated, Pacquiaos not. And in those defeats he's been knocked out three times. Granted I say he is still one hell of an accomplished fighter and one of the best in this era. But to put him above Mayweather is insane in my opinion.

Good post but just to correct you, the bit in bold is wrong. Mayweather beat Cotto by UD not SD.

I think people are not giving Guerreros the respect he deserves..did people see how he was taking Bertos shots?...Bertos uppercuts are nothing to sneeze at.

[Hitman88]

Is Mayweather ever going to fight the best fighters in the division? As usual, Mayweather cherry picking.

Cherrypickin'..Ey..Well, who are the top fighters in the welterweight div. rt now..Manny just got ktfo by Marquez who he has never been able to soundly defeat under any circumstances. Mayweather has already beaten Marquez (easily). Your current beltholders at 147 are Malinaggi, Alexander, Bradley (who everyone is still saying didnt deserve the nod against Pac)...& Van Herdaan (whoever that is). Who exactly is he "ducking" from that group?? More names..Oritz..Berto?? (Yall cant be serious). The leading candidate for his May bout was pretty much going to be the winner of Guerrero / Berto. Guerrero won a tough bout in crowd pleasing fashion so there it is. Ive just come to the conclusion that Mayweather is going to have his critics no matter what he does or who he faces in the ring simply because alotta headz don't like him or his style...And that's fine. Just keep winning brah.

Not only was it a unanimous decision...It wasnt even close on the scorecards.
