Mayweather better fight a fast Fighter Next.

[LoadedWraps]

Mayweather has made a career out of fighting slow fighters. I can't even recall when was the last time he was in the ring against some who's naturally fast with movement.

If you look at Mayweather's opponents in last 7+ years, all have same style and ALL were slow/flat footed.


I would like to see Mayweather against someone fast with good movement and Speed, someone who makes Mayweather work, and can challenge him in terms of work rate and volume.


No more slow fighters, time to fight someone fast like Pacman ,Amir Khan even Keith Thurman and Tim Bradley.

with that said I don't see him fighting someone with any sort of footwork or movement.


I think its a high possibility of Mayweather losing 7 rounds to any of these, IMO.

thoughts please?

You continue to be ignorant about this sport. Speed means nothing, fighters like Khan will get picked apart because they are predictable and orthodox, Madiana is a stylistic nightmare for Floyd, he proved it again last night because everytime they got into exchanges Maidana won. People like you refuse to listen to logic and facts about the sport, we have told you guys countless times the closer you get to being textbook the easier it is to be beaten by Floyd. Stop being ridiculous there is no fighter that stands a better chance than Maidana, no one in the divison has the tools to do it. Speed won't do anything, he is fast enough to still counter you silly and will read the shots coming in every time.

Prime Zab Judah was pretty goddamn fast. Even some of the other guys like Chop Chop Corley was pretty fast too, in his prime. I can't hate on anyone saying that Prime Judah was just as fast or even faster than Roy or Pacquaio. Judah was really fast.

Judah was always handicapped by his boxing IQ and poor decision making skills in the ring. And when things got tough, he would just have a meltdown.

He was fast, but it's not even close. Roy was throwing jabs and hooks off his waist. Too many guys on here have been watching since 06 and only seen highlights of prime Roy and then state bull**** opinions to inflate the caliber of Floyd's opponents.

Please... that fight was a legit draw. You think that was planned? It was too close for comfort, thus the rematch with a paid off ref.

No it wasn't. And the large majority of the media didn't score it that way either. Only people blinded with bias see things the way you do.

He had a sweet uppercut, but Pacquiao lands his straight left more.

Yes, Roy was doing that. But who was he doing it against? Judah was just as fast as Roy. Very, very, very few fighters were fast enough to catch Floyd with a punch from a clear distance like Judah did. That punch was super fast.

But that Judah that fought Matthysse, to me, wasn't Prime Judah anymore. By that time, Judah declined. He was trying to re-invent himself then with Pernell.

What are you even trying to say? I said Judah isn't as fast as Pacquiao nor is he better in any category. Yeah, Floyd fought Judah after he lost to Baldomir - one of the slowest fighters in the sports history to win a belt - thanks to Zab Judah. I remember it well.

Mayweather was signed to fight Judah prior to the Baldimir loss.

I also remember people like you and Brian Kenny claiming that Mayweather was ducking a fight with Baldimer and Hatton. Forgotten history. Here are some reminders:




With the loss to Carlos Manuel Baldomir, it appeared that Judah's much anticipated bout with Mayweather was off, but Judah's promoter Don King and Mayweather's promoter Bob Arum reworked the deals so the fight would go on. Mayweather was scheduled to earn a minimum $6 million while Judah was to earn $3 million plus a percentage of the profits, but because of Judah's loss, Mayweather earned a minimum $5 million while Judah was guaranteed $1 million plus a percentage of profits above $7 million.[1] The fight took place on April 8, 2006, at the Thomas and Mack Center in Paradise, Nevada.

You better brush up on your memory.

Pacquiao had a quick left uppercut too. He knocked down Cotto with one in the 4th round. He never saw it coming.

[FrankieClutch]

Khan or Cotto are next, I think. Khan is obviously faster than Cotto, but Cotto isn't exactly slow

[Free Booty Dew!]

I didn't say Zab was a better puncher than Roy or Pacquiao, but he had faster hands than either of them.

No he did not. 09 Pacman vs Cotto is lightning quick and faster than any version of Judah.
