P4P Number 1 - Mayweather or Pacquiao

I definitely think Floyd is Number 1. I hope he gets the big fights on with Cotto, Pac and Mosely. I dont think any of those guys have the style to beat Floyd, he is just so good, a joy to behold. The only guy out there who I think has the style to beat Floyd is Williams, but that fight will never happen.

Also, I think Cotto beats Pac.

 

Pac. He's fighting at weights where most fighters have a size advantage over him and is still winning impressively. Floyd is dragging fighters up to his div, where he hold all the aces.

Head to head I think Floyd wins, and would rather see him take on a fighter from the division he's currently campaigning in.

 

i dont think beating up a blown up lightweight really puts you in the p4p no1 spot and i dont actually mind mayweather

 

This :deal

 

For me at this time it's Floyd. If Manny beats Miguel then i will have to evaluate it depending on the performance etc but at this current time Floyd is number one for me.

 

If Manny beats Cotto there is NO ****ING WAY he should be anything other than the P4P King, that would be twice as good a victory as anything on FMJ's record.

 

Cotto's an easy win for Manny.

Mark my words :good

 

What makes you think that Dan?

 

To be quite honest mate I am very biased against Cotto which I will honestly admit. I honestly dont see what it is that other people think makes him so good.

He looked OK stepping up to Welter but he has looked really poor in recent times. The Margarito fight was his until he gassed. I dont think it is hard to outbox tony either so this isn't a compliment as such. He looked pretty awful against Clottey ( I know he had a bad cut and I give him respect for that) and the Jennings victory meant nothing. I honestly think that without such a long layoff, Mosely could beat him pretty handily too.

I dont think he is a great 'boxer'. His come forward plodding style is totally made for Pacquiao in my opinion. His head movement is almost non-existent and his lateral movement is poor. He's ok getting someone into a corner and bullying them but Pac will not be there for him to do that. Manny's footwork, lateral movement and explosiveness will give him nightmares.

Add this to the fact that his stamina is more than questionable and he's having to drain himself to make the weight, makes me beieve that this will be a stoppage win for Pac around the 6-9 mark.

Just my opinion even though I openly admit I am no fan of his. Infact i'm even gonna say that a win for Cotto is a better result for Cotto than a win for Manny is for Manny :good

 

Yeah Dan, I'm going to have to think about this one a bit more. But I have a strong gut feeling that Pacquaio is going to be seriously out of his depth against a big, tough guy like Cotto. I can see Pac having some success with his speed, footwork and accuracy, but I think Cotto will hurt him all night, and probably stop him somewhere between 8-10. Cotto is a GREAT body puncher, with decent movement, so if can slow Manny down and hopefully cut of the ring and punish the little Pinoy. If he can do that, he wins, easily. Cotto has eaten big strong welterweight punches from Margo and Mosley, I think he can handle Pacs power, just not sure about the speed.

 

Avatar Bet ??????????? :yep

 

Nah, I'm to much of an avatar poser to take the risk. Plus 90% of my predictions are wrong (JMM TKO 11 Mayweather. Tarver UD Dawson)

 

Exactly

What does fighting a guy from two or even three divisions below prove 'p4p' wise?

He hasn't even beaten the best at his own weight

 

:rofl

I have restrictions in avatar beats nowadays too. No Calzaghe pics

 

Pac will beat him, Im confident of that. That's to take nothing away from him though, seven weight champion. Cotto is a top 3 welter even with May's return.
