    Wait a minute...

    So LE is basically a fan who gave up a "six figure" salary to follow PBF around the country because he likes him?

    Thats a bit f*cking weird. Its almost like Len had some kind of plan / long term goal in this.

    :lol::lol:

    Zab is a southpaw with power and made himself a smaller target. Mayweather had much more to worry about with Zab with his left hand power and counter uppercuts than Khan's power.

    Plus, as I rewatched Mayweather-Judah, I saw that Judah's fast start is often made out to be better than it really was. Judah took the first 2 rounds (the 1st by a slim margin), lost the 3rd, and landed one good shot in the 4th which the crowd went nuts. He then missed all of his follow up shots, and Mayweather landed nice bodyshots later. That was all Judah did in that round.

    Then Mayweather took over from the 5th and dominated until the low blow in the 10th.

    Styles make fights, but you have to at least be on a similar level in caliber. Khan is SO far below Pacquiao and Mayweather. Floyd's been trying to cherry pick him for years and Khan still screws up.

    Mayweather will dominate Khan and I will give him little credit. Khan is just speed without much other than that. The stylistic problems he presents to Floyd will last about a round or two.

    Let's just wait and see, Floyd is about to cherry-pick him, so Khan has to just basically not lose and he'll get the fight.

    Faith and trust are tremendous confidence builders.

    What is a great fighter without them and what price can you place on true faith, trust and loyalty?

    Every time I make one of these hypothetical question threads, there's always a couple people that have to ask about specific details within the question as if it's completely unanswerable with them blah blah blah :patsch

    JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION I ASKED HOW I ASKED IT...

    For example, here's me answering ur question: Becuz those 2 are already shoo ins for ATG and HOF status RIGHT NOW, so who cares if they beat any of the names listed... Hell, most of them would be seen as cherry picks to either fight... Also, if I included them and lets say any of the fighters listed actually managed to beat them, considering how good they both still are, they pretty much guarantee themselves a similarly high status without having to face any of the others listed...

    Take them out, just leave what's left... Now it's an actual thought provoking question that requires analytical knowledge of the sport.

    GET IT NOW??? :roll:

    Kind of pointless to argue what WOULD have happened.

    They already screwed over the fans and didn't face each other when it would have been best.

    147 lbs is basically an average division and it has been for years.
    Fighters below at 140 lbs are not anywhere close to elite types.
    Garcia, Matthyse, Prodnikov, all punchers without speed that would need to move up to fight Mayweather.

    Unless Mayweather wants to move up to middleweight to fight Martinez or Ward, there is'nt a big pool of talent for Mayweather to pick and choose from. This is the reason why I would root for Mayweather to be forced to fight the Khan types who can stylistically pose matchup problems for himself. Khan is the only fighter out there that poses such a stylistic matchup problem, everyone else out there 147 lbs and below neither has speed or the skillset to matchup well with Mayweather.

    Why are there always different "versions" of Pacquiao while Floyd stays the same?

    This made me cry, such a touching read. Ellerbe will be there to console him after the devastating loss coming Floyd's way on May 3rd.

    I thought he was going to say because of the shoulder and chest massages he gives him between rounds.
