The way Floyd leans over during his shoulder roll makes him vulnerable to overhands. He also defends himself by deflecting punches upwards by leaning back and extending his forearms and elbows. It gave JMM all kinds of trouble. Paul Williams is 6'1, has a huge reach but fights like an inside fighter. He will be punching downwards the whole night.
It's all about doing what you're capable of to win and if others had the movement, speed, skills that Mayweather has they would perform the same. Special fighters don't come every week. Still I think Williams would be doom.
I have a hunch that Mayweather will take another fight on before fighting Pacquiao should Pac defeat Cotto; and I don't think it will be Mosley.
How exactly does Mayweather potshot a 6'1" southpaw boxer with a massive arm length advantage that also throws 100 punches per round?
The same way he potshotted Tony Pep and Diego Corrales. I can't wait till Pavlik exposes Williams. ****'s gonna be funny.
For a tall guy, Corrales had short arms and no jab. And I'm a big Chico fan. If Pavlik defeats Williams,that does not mean Mayweather will. Should be obvious enough.
You think he dropped a clue when he mentioned Berto at the post presser? Come say wassup and give some input here: http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=170389
Well, HBO just had a meeting with Berto without the company of Dibella so something seems to be up. Maybe they couldn't trust Lou to keep his mouth shut. Berto is the current occupier of Floyd's WBC belt. :think
Yeah, it did seem like he was trying to build him up a bit there. I guess that fight has a little bit of potential although I doubt Berto's got the experience or tools to really get to Floyd. We shall see.
If he goes Berto over Shane, especially after his claims that Shane, Cotto, (and Margo for that matter) were not big money fights....just wow. But, I seriously doubt it will happen.
Apparently he has two venues lined up, Dubai next and then Wembley. Seriously, it will probably be Berto in Dubai. And heaven forbid, Khan at Wembley, I can see it now 'Khan is the best at 140, this is a P4P matchup, we are both really fast etc etc' man wish Floyd would man up and sign to face Mosley. Isn't Clottey-Mosley off and Mosley has a January date now? If so, Floyd only took part in a sparring session last night. Fight Mosley :good
lol I had to but mosley got a fight, and cotto and pac gotta fight who else is he gonna fight? it would be cool to see floyd/berto marthin luther king jr weekend then floyd/mosley/cotto/pac in may or july
