10 Toughest Floyd Mayweather Opponents

Hurt is a reach. He was hurt against mosley and chop chop.

 

KO KIDD...are you my long....lost.....son?????

 

Floyd said Pac was the hardest he's ever been hit. Also, I don't recall Floyd ever getting popped flush and then literally going to the ropes to strictly defend himself and not punch back. He did this twice. He knew he couldn't take another one like that without going down.

There's a reason he walked down Canelo, Marquez, Maidana, Mosley, Ortiz, and Berto, but boxed the most cautious fight of his life against Pac — who also happens to be the smallest guy he's ever fought in almost a decade.

 

No damn way. Mosley shook him to his core there was no way in hell that pac hit him harder than shane did and you know this as well. Pbf was buzzed against pac like he was buzzed against zab. He was not in any trouble those 2 times he got hit by pac he covered up immediately and was on steady legs and wasnt stumbling around he was not hurt. Mosley was different you could see it in his legs he was hurt. With that said like jmm, pbf has great recovery ability.

 

He said that at one point. But he still fought for years after that statement. Just wonder if it's still applicable.

 

Aside from Castillo ,, did Floyd really have a tough give and take scrap?

 

Not really though some are tougher than others

For the first 5 or 6 rounds judah and maidana landed on him and won rounds

Mosley and corley rocked him

Cotto won a few rounds and was fairly competitive

Nobody aside from Castillo has a real argument for having won vs floyd. Most guys hardly win more than 2 rounds

 

Both Castillo & Maidana kicked his ass but were robbed should have been DQ'd against Ortiz & Judah that FOUR he DEFINATELY l should have lost The Manny fight should have been changed to a NC after it was proven Floyd broke the NSAC's own rules regarding IV Saline drips in his own home the night before the fight. Boxing is CORRUPT!!!!!

 

Maidana beat him up & kicked his ass had him so bad Leonard had to console & caress him Poor wittle Floyd

 

I agree he lost a close fight but no way in hell was that a fair fight. Mayweather was caught red handed 24 hours before the fight receiving Illegal Excessive Saline drips in his own home & should have been BANNED & the fight called a N/C

 

If the little coward had the balls to fight Antonio THEN you'd have seen him hurt I he knew it
Man I'd willingly have PAID big $$$$$$$$$$$$$ to see that fight

You sound like a novice mosley turned down pbf on live tv in the ring after a fight saying he had to get his tooth fixed. Next time know what you're talking about before going off.

 

That bum wouldn't have won a round against pbf and was too slow too land effectively on pbf

 

You wont find the rounds because there isn't. This whole scoring of "made to play someones game" is B.S, boxing is about damage, who damages who more, Floyd clearly did not do that.

It's like you're a runner with significant height and reach advantage, you run around the ring unable to hurt your opponent. Your opponent will have to chase you around and will have a hard time doing it. Do you win because he's "playing your game"? That's a ridiculous way to score a "fight".

Floyd used his reach, height to keep the distance, when Pac got close, he bent below the waist (illegal) and grabbed him. Of course his game was going to be played, he has the advantage. At the end of the day, to me it's about who does the most damage, boxing is a hurting game, who hurt who more, and Pac clearly hurt Floyd more.

The flip side of the argument is "it's a fight" - usually, in fights, the one who runs, loses. And many judges score for aggression, deduct points for minimising actions, just look at Oscar-Tito. This scoring thing is very arbitrary.

Even then, in Vegas, Floyd's backyard, the majority scorecard was 116-112. It's clear win but hardly dominant. That's a swing that could just as easily happen in Pac's way had it happened in Pac's backyard, rather than Floyd's.
