for some reason *****s want everyone to be a ******* well not this floyd fan, i ride with the man in my avatar till the end and i dont callz no one a ******* coz i'm butt hurtz.
Yup he did.. wore him out n KO'd him.. His timing and footwork was a little off though, have to give barker some credit for that.
Why you mad ? Because i mentioned Pacquiao ? Im just saying that both men are welterweight only Floyd is a little bit taller and has a reach advantage. Now how can you say that Floyd is ducking but Pacquiao is not ?
Sergio Martinez: Pacquiao is picking guys close to retirement By Chris Williams: Sergio Martinez had some searing comments about the type of opponents that WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao has been facing. While many boxing fans see Pacquiao as one of the greatest fighters that ever breathed due to the many titles he’s won in different weight divisions, Martinez, who is arguably the best fighter in the junior middleweight and middleweight divisions right now, feels a little bit different about Pacquiao. Martinez sees Pacquiao as a fighter that is being selectively matched against old guys or ones that are beatable. Speaking with John Martinez at boxscorenews.com, Martinez said “Manny Pacquiao is working his business by picking boxers he knows he can beat and are pretty close to retirement. He is picking guys that are easy to beat so when you do this, it isn’t hard to be pound-for-pound and, if we fought I would beat him by knock out.” I agree that Martinez would knock Pacquiao out if they fought. That’s not really debatable as far as I’m concerned, but it’s one of those things that boxing fans will likely never get to see because Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum isn’t interested in putting Pacquiao in with Martinez because he sees him as too big for Pacquiao even though Martinez is smaller than a recent Pacquiao opponent Antonio Margarito. The difference between Margarito and Martinez is that Martinez is fast and powerful, while Margarito is incredibly slow and not nearly as powerful. Pacquiao beat Margarito at a 150 pound catchweight for the vacant WBC super welterweight title last year. Pacquiao fought an old Oscar De La Hoya in 2008, beating him and sending him into retirement. De La Hoya was 36 at the time and clearly past his best. Pacquiao recently beat 39-year-old Shane Mosley, another fighter not quite at the top anymore. Pacquiao will be facing Juan Manuel Marquez in November. Marquez will be 38-year-old by the time they fight. http://www.************.com/2011/05/sergio-martinez-pacquiao-is-picking-guys-close-to-retirement/ [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRL8ZVw_prs[/ame]
Here's my old analysis of this fight: The way I see Floyd fighting and frustrating Sergio is by coming forward with his high guard and catching and neutralizing Sergio's jab while he tries to establish his jab. It's hard to out jab a southpaw who is taller than you (Ortiz) but if he keeps his hands down, then you can land easy. I see Floyd maybe getting caught a few times in the first few rounds from Sergio countering him, while Floyd tries attack him with he hands down. Barker had success because he didn't give Sergio much to counter and when he did throw, he would step back and also bring his hands quick and high enough for him not to get countered. I think Floyd will feint Sergio into moving a certain way with his hands down and then follow up with a lead right. He'll also make sure to get out the way and pot shot to avoid counters like this This content is protected Sergio after a while may try to start leading more like he did with Barker, but Floyd won't stand still when he flurries. In the words of Money Mayweather - "You won't see him hitting me with that wild ****" Also Sergio is the bigger man, but if they end up in the clinch (which I expect Floyd to fight in the pocket some), then Floyd will get the better of it. I think Sergio's inside fighting is lacking. Even when Barker had him on the ropes, he would just sit there and put one hand up and get caught over and over.
