Comments Thread For: Fighting Words — Only Time Might Defeat Mayweather

[batista84]

No disrespect to Mexicans but aint no slow flat footed Mexican fighter beating Floyd. it's going take a slick boxer like a Andre Ward type. What I mean by that u gotta have the full package the tricks and all. So in other words I see NOBODY with the slickness within Floyd weight range. Unless Floyd stays too long and some Terry Norris is on the horizon I don't see him losing.

No disrispect to any race, but neither a slick fighter is going to beat Floyd, Floyd is the whole package and he's got a thing that no one else has.........Superb Ring IQ, period.

by David P. Greisman - You couldn’t avoid the marketing.

They had to mention that Floyd Mayweather was older and smaller. They had to note that Canelo Alvarez was younger and heavier and punched harder. They had to sell this bout as a crossroads fight of sorts.

You couldn’t avoid the marketing, but you could ignore it.

You could ignore it by reminding yourself that all of those characteristics that generally would have been to a fighter’s disadvantage were actually to Mayweather’s benefit.

He is 36 now, has been wearing boxing gloves for nearly his entire life and has been a pro fighter for nearly half of it. This is an age and a point in this line of work at which most would be showing signs of declining, suffering defeats and standing in against less-experienced opponents for less money — hoping to prolong his career, or at least to pick up another paycheck.

Not Floyd Mayweather.

He remains undefeated, a winner of 45 fights against 44 foes, a titleholder in five divisions and a lineal champion in four. He has taken on and taken out 19 men who held world titles at the time, who had won them before or would win them after. His competition still struggles to compete with him. They may have their moments, but never do those moments come when the name of the winner is read. Nineteen of his fights have gone to the judges. Only two of those 57 scorecards have failed to be in his favor.

He got paid $41.5 million [Click Here To Read More]

It's the truth. Only age is his enemy.

Castillo and ODLH already defeated him. They were robbed. Canelo was slow because of weight drain and still Floyd couldnt hurt him, just outjabbed him and ran the last two rounds. Margarito or Williams could have beaten him but he was afraid to fight them. So would Pacman. If you throw punches in bunches and make it a brawl, you win. Guerrero forgot to do it. Ortiz was actually bullying him but was cheapshotted.

Who is your drug guy he must die great shhhh.. Castillo lost and just to prove it again he got it right back .. Turn off announcer floyd beat delahoya no question and Ortiz was already losing he's garbage so you must think Lopez can beat him too...do stand up your funny and have a great imagination spongebob

You are wrong about this. There are fighters that have the quickness of hand and feet needed to beat Floyd. It is just that Floyd wont get near any of them as long as he can steal the lunch money from flat footed and slower fighters. To give you an idea you have Lara at 154, Martinez at 160, which is really a blown up 154 pounder fighting at middle weight , that has stated repeatedly that he wants to fight Mayweather and you Have Manny. This fighters would give Floyd problems all day long with their speed and on top of that they are lefties , which will make it even harder on Floyd as his patented shoulder roll that works so well against right handed fighters would be ineffective.

I use to think Martinez I can't lie I've saw lar even though I like him but no and if you ever seen floyd in person you wouldn't even match those against each other

And Manny Pacquiao.

Never believed it to wild too short no defense no way ...but if you believe that why not Santa Claus , Tom cruise , Burt and Ernie ..,you have a great imagination when it comes to that gemmick

[Wyvceo]

I still look at Canelo as an undefeated fighter you know Mayweather caught him at a catchweight.

Ok you do that ...if it makes you feel better lmfao

[Wyvceo]

And Manny Pacquiao.

Your obviously getting high on your own supply

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

Floyd only loses if he gets badly injured during a fight or he goes to middleweight.
