Comments Thread For: Brandon Rios: Nobody Can Beat Mayweather, Too Good

[FaustoGeraci]

Pacquiao, Canelo, Martinez, Lara, Trout are all formidable foes for Floyd. I don't think he's unbeatable Cotto before Margarito would've done even better. Paul Williams would've been tough and stylistically Vernon Forrest wins a decision.

Come on. Forrest? RIP to a great fighter, but he could not handle Mayorga. Lets get serious.

Lara? The guy that could barely handle VANES? Hahaha.

Pacquiao could never beat Mayweather. Even Floyd haters in the boxing circles admit this.

Cotto barely beat Clottey and Mosley. Cotto at 147 vs Floyd would have gotten beat worse.

Even Bum Bum Rios knows Floyd is the best.

Hey dude, why don't you get into the ring and we will know how much of a bum you are.

I hate guys sitting on the sideline and calling a warrior who enters the ring a bum. Bam Bam is a world class fighter who deserves respect not ridicule. He steps into the ring, which is far greater than typing.

The problem is everyone thinks u need speed or power to be Floyd. Cotto was very effective with his jab. The real problem is everyone underestimates Floyd's power and overhand rights.

You need a good jab and enough stamina to maintain pressure for 12 rounds. BUT more importantly, you need a good DEFENSE to avoid getting countered all night. Everyone ingores defense and just tries to put pressure on Floyd. When the start eating right hands all night they stop putting on pressure and its game over. A good jab, pressure, and defense is the key. Speed and power aren't as important.

The only active fighter that has a style to pull this off is Rigo IMO. But of course that will never happen because Rigo is too inexperienced and fights several weight classes below. (Plus I don't think he gets past Mares.)

Mayweather will retire undefeated because there is no opponent currently in boxing that has a good jab, can apply pressure, and has a good defense, and would be ready for Floyd in two years.

AMEN.....people seem to forget that while the boxer that's opposite Floyd, is trying new things, Floyd is popping you in your face and frustrating the hell out of you. So in theory, a lot of things sound easy until you actually have it in your face.
Just imagine if you are the one that talked all that trash to everyone in the world about how u gonna beat'em down, then around rd 5 you realize he has hit you way more times than u hit him. Millions are watching you keep getting hit with the right, and when your head comes back from the punch, he's gone... And this keeps happening....YOU'RE gonna get frustrated just like he's saying. Then you realize it's late and you need a ko on someone u can barely touch during the first ten rounds.....yeah right. Appreciate pure boxing skill while you can

Anyone remember that video where mayweather practically peed himself when margarito came up to him back in like 2006? He's great and all, but very human. He was genuinely afraid of some potential opponents.

The things you guys see when you hate someone is unbelievable. I've seen that video and both fighters were very respectful to each other. Nothing else.

only when rios talks about floyd will he becomes a genius

last time i check floyd fans calling this dude "No brainer" a "walking zombie"

why would a no brainer dude's comment matter?

The ultimate respect is to receive praise from your peers.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If we were to adhere to your logic, no one could comment on any sport or activity they haven't participated in. That logic is absurd. Fans, especially fans who have financially contributed to a sport do have a say since they are paying customers. With anything, you have to tune out comments if you don't agree but can't get mad at someone posting their opinion.

Its funny all fighters including Hopkins, Ward, and everyone praise Mayweather as the best but fans. Floyd is up there with the Leonard's, he's not as great as Robinson but Floyd is one of the greatest boxers to ever step in the ring.

Yes lots of americans say Floyd is the best. Are there any other nationalities who openly say it?

When RJJ said Pac was the best, RJJ had brain damage according to many. When SRL said FLoyd was a little scared of Pac thats why he didnt take the fight, what does SRL know was the opinion of many!

Cherrypicker is an gifted talent, but unless he challenges himself we can not rightly call him the GOAT
