Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Had To Face Marquez Once, Not 4 Times

Let me ask you this; what kind of opponent does Floyd struggle with?

Inside fighters.

[jas]

Floyd is right in some sense

An undefeated fighter has an aura about him

Usually, an undefeated fighter is harder to beat because there's supreme confidence that comes with never losing in such a long time

And Floyd got robbed in the Olympics

That being said, I think Floyd will be too focused on trying not to get hit that he'll give too many rounds away and lose a close, controversial decision .

Great video! I love it! But when Manny trash talks, it's good for the sport. He's respectful with it. Floyd crosses the line even more than Ali did. Trash talking is fine when done right. Floyd honestly believes he is better than Manny because Manny has a few losses. Because he shut out a bloated and too little super lightweight. BIG DEAL!

You sir are truely delusional if you believe that. Either that or you haven't seen much from Ali.

Inside fighters.

now name the top 5 best wins of floyds career

[Robbie Barrett]

now name the top 5 best fighters floyd has faced

Fighters with the best resume? Best at the time they fought? The fighters that did the best against him?

What's the point? Pacquiao hasn't the strength or inside game to give Mayweather the same problems Maidana or Castillo did.

What if Pac only faced him once? Or gave him the rematch and left it at that? I had Pac winning the first 2 and losing the 3rd and obviously 4th.

Floyd's win over Marquez was a cheap win. He cheated him on the scales AFTER he made him climb up 2 weight classes to face him.

Do you think a guy like Cotto or Maidana who gave tough fights would be able to beat Floyd if Floyd gave them 4 attempts to do so?

you dead on man..these May fans have nothing better to say..Same thing can be said about the fight against ODLH. Manny made him quit..But with May it was sparring session and lets not mention the Cotto fight. Also, If may had the same amount of fights Manny had I'm almost positive there will be a loss on that column,,

Let me ask you this; what kind of opponent does Floyd struggle with?

- southpaw ( Judah)
- fast (Judah)
- awkward (maidana)
- active (maidana, Castillo)
- variety of punching ( Castillo)
-cutting off ring (cotto)
- great jab (Oscar)
- combos (maidana)
- body punching (Castillo)

Manny has all of the above except a great jab

i explained to you why you can't compare marquez vs floyd to marquez vs pacquiao

do you want me to type a wall of text to compare pacquiao vs floyds style?
it will take awhile, not really in the mood

and i mean besides marquez' career consisting of feeding on aggressive southpaw asians, and whenever he fights pacquiao he's fighting completely to his strengths, i can't believe you think floyd's habit of turning into a sitting duck will help him vs pacquiao, you must have no clue as to why people can't stand with pacquiao

p.s go do some study on mayweather vs corley, mitchell and judah, hell even guerrero, although he doesn't do sht, you should be able to spot floyd's big opening against the left hand, think pacquiao vs barrera I, and pacquiao vs marquez I, this is what happens when you back straight up vs pacquiao

This post makes little sense and doesn't acknowledge the points I made. All the southpaws you listed that Floyd fought were dominated, yes they had their moments but all lost 8 rounds to 4 or 9 rounds to 3 type of decisions. I watched all those fights recently and yes Floyd made mistakes. But he's a master adjuster just like Marquez, just more gifted athletically, and Manny is not a great adjuster.

Pacquiao can't fight like Maidana and Castillo he doesn't have the strength or inside game. He's terrible at cutting off the ring, he follows he doesn't cut it off.
