Comments Thread For: Garcia Plans For Speed: Mayweather Not That Strong

[bigjavi973]

Mayweather is a coward and a fraud. Yes i post the same stuff but IDC, people need to know.Ducked margarito and fought judah instead. Ducked margarito a second time and turned down the 8 mill and fought baldomir instead for 8 mill. Not cuz of de la hoya. He still couldve fought margarito and then de la hoya. nope he ducked margarito a 3rd time and fought de la hoya at a higher weight class for more money. Ducked P williams at 147 and chose to fight 140 lb champ ricky hatton at 147 lbs limit. Called out, signed contract fight to fight winky wright, pulled out of the fight and ducked him to fight sharmba mitchell (the same mitchell that knocked his uncle out). "In 2007-08, Cotto was the next best welterweight in the world behind Mayweather. A thrilling fighter during his 140lbs title run, he had moved up in weight and easily disposed of Quintana, smashed the over-matched Urkal, stopped Judah and then beaten a resurgent Mosley in an excellent bout. He was by any definition the most deserving fighter to face Mayweather and, with the rabid Puerto Rican fans behind him, he was a legitimate superstar who brought serious financial clout as well. There was no reason for the bout not to be made. But Mayweather instead signed for a pointless rematch with De La Hoya.

Seemingly this wasn't the end of the world for the bout. After all, Mayweather would surely beat De La Hoya and Cotto only had to get through Alfonso Gomez (which he did with ease) and then the two would match up. It was obvious. Then Mayweather "retired" instead of taking the second De La Hoya bout."

What happened in the Maidana fight isn't going to help PAC fight on the inside. He couldn't figure out Marquez after 40 rounds. Floyd could step out of a casket and out box Manny.

Couldnt figure out marquez after 40 rounds. To my knowledge, pac is 2-1-1 against marquez 1-2-1. The draw was a robbery for pac cuz the judge put 10-7 instead of the real 10-6 score for the three knockdowns. Thats why marquez doesnt want another fight with him right? it took him 4 fights to "figure out" pac.

Saying Floyd has no power makes you look worse; how do you let a guy with no power beat you especially when he didn't move against you.

Its called having the judges in your pockets. Worked for canelo and when floyd fought castillo the first time.

[bigjavi973]

some of you are newbies to boxing and never been in a ring.

Ill break it down

what robert is saying is
floyd is not as physically strong
as we thought. In the first fight they though mr mayweather jr was stronger then most people think. But like another poster said the mosley fight
tricks you.

So now . They felt the gameplan and the weight added after the weigh in was for size which adds weight to your power. Bexoming a 154 pounders hence.

They feel if they would have just trained for stamina and speed that marcos natural strength
is naturally stronger then floyd could ever be including the mosley fight.
So what robert is saying less weight equalls more stamina overall.
It means slight faster hands and feet with less weight to lug around.
Slight percentages.
Stamina is the key here. With that and less weight marcos is more energized and slightly quicker/faster .


One poster said what is gonna do different he fights one way.
Look at the stats. Floyd missed more punches then he ever had before .do to style timing and marcos headmovement and improved defense.

Floyd missed a lot more then compubox suggested. I dare you to look back and count and see compubox is full of it. Mar os feels he ran out of gas . Imo this time he wont . Expect a similar fight . And if floyd pot shots and runs = lara right

genious!!!

Finally Garcia doing something right. Try to get Floyd into fire fight by saying hes weak. See if his pride causes a mistake. Its Maidana only chance but it can be done.

But be careful cause Floyd could have ended Cotto if he wanted so he has pop when he wants it.

Floyd has never had world class power. Why else would he disallow perfectly legal gloves from being used? Because he doesn't have Maidana's power. As Floyd said himself, he has his health and family to think about and Maidana's gloves might not have enough padding for his pretty boy face.
Just the fact that he is able to make this stipulation for the fight proves that his fights are a farce and the rules are augmented for him to win.
Floyd generally wins fights by tiring his opponents with evasive movement, holding, using elbows and shoulders and countering. Floyd is one of the best in the game defensively and is an accurate puncher. Ever since he has been able to cherry pick his opponents he has made sure his opponent's power is nullified by his ring tactics. He is a very skilled defensive fighter but getting away with some dirty tactics is also a part of his game. I think he makes an effort to know the movements and tendencies of the referees so that he can avoid getting penalized for his tactics.

this is 50/50 to me. Floyd is always way stronger than people give him credit for but I thought this was the weakest he's looked since he 1st ever came up to WW. It was also his smallest fight night weight since back then. Just weird all together

its all that night-life...it slows fighters down...its o-k when you're young but ,when you're older you gotta stay away from all the partying.

[bimhead]

its more about timing and reflexes,than speed.he's gotta keep sharp.

[johnm is...]

Next we will see:

Pulev's trainer: We plan to throw a lot of jabs against Wladimir.

They've got it all figured out. Floyd Mayweather is fast. Puzzle solved. Game. Set. Match.

[bimhead]

Without the weight, he won't be able to bully and hold MW against the ropes like he did in the first fight.

that crossed my mind,too.
