    I rate Castillo and Tzyu the same level. Castillo had a great inside game and was a great combination puncher. Zoo had more power.

    Nah, Pac-man is an easy fight for Floyd.

    Jesus Chavez landed some nice shots against Floyd. Don't know if that was Floyd's plan to show he's tough, or if avoiding Chaves shots were something Floyd could not do, but in the end it did not matter cause Floyd was tougher.

    Corrales was never a jabber

    Hatton and Pacman have completely different styles.

    I agree with you on Tszyu

    Nah. They are both pressure fighters but Pac-man likes to mix it up then immediately dart back out avoiding retaliations. Hatton likes to get right in your grill and rough you up on the inside, little to no defense coming in.

    Jesus Chavez just had an amazing chin. He took some monsterous shots on Floyd, but he fought great that night. Both him and Hernandez gave Morales all he could handle 3 years later. Under looked fighters on Floyds resume.

    both pressure fighting brawlers with poor footwork and not much else (although pacman is much more well rounded in recent times)

    not at all.

    Hatton is orthodox and Pac is a southpaw

    Hatton likes to take the fight on the inside, Pac likes to fight at arm's length.

    Pac's defence is based on blocking shots with his gloves and stepping out of range, Hatton relies on bobbing and weaving and smothering his opponent.

    Pac is more of a head hunter, Hatton is more of a body puncher.

    Pac is a combination puncher, Hatton isn't.

    Pac sets everything up with his Jab, Hatton leads with power punches.



    They are nothing alike.

    He's shown great footwork against Diaz and Oscar. I used to think of Pac-man as nothing but a scrapper, but his last 2 bouts have shown he has the ability to be a great boxer puncher. Still wouldnt be much worry for Floyd though in my opinion.

    Floyd Mayweather cant be truely considered the very best until that heart of his shows up, Bottom line is he can fight Pacquiao he can fight the Ricky Hattons the Chop Chops but until he steps in there with a live guy like Williams or Margarito his heart will always be questioned. he has every asset there is to have except showing that he has the guts to take on a man who can actually fight and one who can actually beat him.
