The "All Things Mayweather/Pacquiao" Express!!!!!!

I thought it was any weight above 147 lbs has to use 10 oz gloves. Even at 147 lbs it is only 8 oz if both teams agree otherwise it is 10 oz.

 

and the sanctioning body has to approve of it.

 

10 ounce gloves are mandatory unless both camps agree to 8 ounce gloves, this came about just after Levander Johnson passed away

 

May 4th was a stinky night in boxing - a stinky night of a stinky career. Floyd Mayweather stank the joint out. He darted fleetingly about like a rabbit, like on a backwards treadmill. And it truly stank.
I compare Floyds fights to a matador and a bull. Floyd would be the matador, who baits and frustrates the charging bull - but never uses his sword to kill it - all for 12 rounds.

The fleet-footed Jack-Rabbit treated us to a safety-first chicken-fest, defying and disgracing all elements of boxing which fans clamor for. For all of you who paid to see it, my condolences.
Floyd stank the joint out, and why not? The dotted line's already been signed. The money's already in the bank, so to speak, by signing that 6 fight deal with Showtime, rather than a fight-by-fight basis from HBO- which, btw, dictated his fights be compelling (engaging), or lose revenue. So Floyd fought one of those types of fights (Cotto), and saw how vulnerable (but still great) he is when he neglects to donn his running shoes. The Cotto fight showed Floyd his "Big 0" was not so invincible after all, and as everyone knows, that "0" is the be-all, end-all of Floyd Mayweather.
In the Commentary of Alvarez-Baldomir, they were praising shane Mosley for taking the most high-risk fights during his career, for seeking out the best opponent, the most formiddable challenge available. Larry Merchant noted, "That's why the greatest fighters in history all have losses" - the allusion to Mayweather was left unsaid, but hung in the air plain as day, because Floyd always took the path of least resistance in protecting his "0" from his forty-something opponents. And this alone is why Floyd Mayweather will always have a big asterisk by his name when listing the greatest fighters in history.
By all these merits, that "0" will always equal "*", and that's just how it is. That's why Floyd will never get that "credit" he's often spoke of being denied of.
Floyd Mayweather, with a short list of exceptions, has not only stank out the joint, he's stank out his entire career.
Pacquiao hater Marquez once implied he doesn't really know what Floyd is made of because Floyd wouldn't stand and fight, but he knows what Pacquiao is made of.
Anybody who's read up on Robert Guerrero should've known he had no business being in with Mayweather to begin with. Guerrero is just a lefty Arturo Gatti - methodically plodding forward with slow hands and feet. Perfect dope for a cherry-picked chicken dance. Who cares if he beat up a P.E.D.-deprived Andre Berto who, after losing that illicit advantage, probably any b+ fighter could beat on a given night? And lets not forget how B+ fighter, Orlando Lora, handed Guerrero his ass to him a few years ago.

Floyd Mayweather - the chicken that no one can catch, but who's savvy enough to tap you enough times during the chase in order to stink out a decision.
When all is said and done, when the chickens come home to roost, there's one chicken that'll have no slot reserved for him on any 'top-10 greatest fighters in history' list.
Oh well, there's always that "0".

 

It was not worse than Pacquiao vs Mosley on Showtime, or Pacquiao vs Clottey on HBO.

 

I enjoyed,he fought great,pure boxing..if you dont like it dont watch it

 

It was a masterclass.

Plus how the hell was it a bad night for boxing when Mares and LSC tore **** up on the undercard? Bad decision aside, even Rosado/Love was entertaining.

 

All Pacquiao was doing against Mosley was chasing him, didn't have any idea of what cutting off the ring was. Looked mediocre and showed he could be outboxed by a fighter who was closer to his prime, which Marquez did in the fight right after.

 

I wish I had a didn't read gif

Pacquiao is still the n.1 threat out there for Floyd.

 

op

 

didn't this happened with Oscar, Hatton, Shane, and now Saul?

You fools keep falling for it.
Why should Floyd be afraid of any of them? How many times Floyd has to play weak and make the public eat crow and start the bum talk?

 

I can't believe how correct these posts are.

 

- 152 cw is fair IMO and ok. Canelo won't be drained and the rehydratation proces will go fine.

i really hope that Floyd will still choose to fight with the top guys from 154 after the fight with Canelo, even if it happens be at cw - 152 lbs seems a fair catch weight. Maybe after Canelo he will choose to fight Lara-Angulo winner. :yep

props to Floyd if it happens - the Canelo fight and the other fights with top 154'ers ! :yep
