Did mayweather ever face a guy in his prime like Jacobs?

[billeau2]

how was Judah not prime?

judah was never the same fighter after the Zoo fight where Jay nady counted him out. Sort of like Tyson Post and pre prison.

Judah gave the clear p4p#1 fighter /hof and atg in Floyd a hell of a fight..what are ya'll on about?

Hell of a fight for 2 rounds. LOL. And lol at being prime. He was prime pre kostya fight. Not after losing to baldomir.

explain why he wasnt prime

[hugh grant]

Floyd may have fought a few fighters who were prime but whether they were any good is the question.
PAC,dlh, SSM, nelo weren't prime. PAC had won titles in 8 divisions by time he got PAC. That's a lot of wear and tear. Dlh, SSM AMD Margarito beat each other up and Floyd got the spoils.
Historically I'm not sure how good guys like baldomir, Judah, corrales, Castillo will be. Not too great I guess.

If Judah wasnt prime nor was Jacobs

Works for me... I don't know much about Jacops because im not much of a triple G fan. Nothing personal about the guy but just don't see anything that inspires me.

Regarding zab...its a little more complicated...heres an analogy though: you know that girl you hooked up with, the one who had an azz to die for, and had so many curves she made Lombard street look straight? But what a pain in the azz she was! Thats the equivalent of Zab. Talented but so flawed. Even gave Floyd a few problems lol.

But the thing is, Zab could never get past that fight with Zoo. It broke him, he never really believed in himself and never fought at the same level. Some guys can be in their twilight and almost prime...Like Winky Wright, and Ward at his age. Other guys just have a short span. Thai fighters are over the hill at 25. By the time Zab fought Floyd the book was written and more people could preach from it than the Bible: Hang in there with the man for five rounds (sort of like Oscar lol) and then put it on cruise control because, as sure as 911 the Spaz will fall.

Lets put it this way: Would a prime Judah go life and death with Corey Spinks? Forget baldimore...

Just wanted to point out this poster is commenting in a thread he admits he knows nothing about.

Typical May-Hater using every opportunity to share the word of the haters gospel.


To sum it all up

Jacobs is in his prime because he was competitive vs ggg.

Judah was not in his prime because he less competitive vs Floyd.

Haters reasoning: Judah was knocked out and loss prior to Floyd.



As if Jacobs was undefeated.


Smh.


What will the haters come up with next?

You fail at logic but are exemplory at hyperbole. I was commenting specifically on Judah. Who are you? the one who decides what knowledge one has the privaleged position of having to make a comment?

Your an idiot and the comment was not even directed at you...BTW I am not a Mayweather hater. Get your facts straight idiot and in your case? it would be best to mind your business lol.

Corralles was a good fighter but tailor made he was slow as mollasses. What slick african american fighter did mayweather beat who was in his prime with a run like danny? A guy who was taller, bigger, just as fast, good amateur pedigree, and one punch knockout power.

corrales was one of the best at 130-135 in a deep era and was more proven than Jacobs...won more titles, beat more champions and came back to become a chapion at 130 after his hiatus and loss to floyd

that era at 130-135 was the deepest since the 80s and the only guy he couldnt beat was an atg TOP 30 ALL TIME in floyd....he beat Casamayor, freitas, Castillo, Robert Garcia, Manfredy, and simply was more dangerous at 130 than Jacobs is at 130

stop trying to pump up Jacobs to spruce up GGGs thin resume......

corrales was a slight favorite and many ranked him higher than floyd p4p at the time, he was highly regarded and even then had done more than jacobs...he won real title. not a minor one like jacobs
