very good script there but any boxing fan will tell you that even an average boxer can give a very good boxer some hard time if his style is fit for him.
well, you may still have your chance to see erik do that. reports say that erik is coming back in 2009 after a 1 year hiatus. but imho, i think he should stay retired. he has nothing to prove anymore. he's already easily one of the five greatest mexican fighters ever.
yeah could be a good move. but is there a contract that he should fight pac again or none? (i know that if pac won the first fight, there should be a rematch) if none, i really admire morales for having the balls to face pac again. jesus chavez he had beaten once so he could have beaten him again for a 135 title. freitas would be a little tough but who knows. i don't know about juan diaz. he is a beast at lightweight then.
i am not saying a boxer as in style. what i mean is a boxer as in a fighter. both pac and barrera are very good fighters. great fighters in fact. normally, barrera should have the advantage in terms of style (boxer-counterpuncher) but pac's speed advantage seems to nullify these and makes the style's advantage into his. in pac-marquez pac can't nullify this with his speed because marquez also has quick reflexes. what happened is pac has to adjust his style in order to get the close win against marquez.
And neither hit as hard as Mayweather, neither was an accurate counter puncher, neither was nearly as fast, and both were past it at 130 and not at their prime weights. They are completely unlike Mayweather in every way.
Mayweather beat De La Hoya easily. Castillo IMO beat Mayweather, but Pacquiao fights nothing like Castillo. You keep throwing out pressure fighters that have fought Mayweather (most of whom he beat easily) as though Pacquiao fights like them. He doesn't. Comparing him to Castillo who was larger than Mayweather and stronger than Mayweather, two advantages Pacquiao will not have, is the same as comparing JMM to Mayweather when talking about Pacquiao. There will be some significant disadvantages in comparison.
because you think about "boxer" as a style. here i would replace it for you so that you can understand it better: "an average fighter can give a very good fighter some hard time if his (very good fighter) style is fit for him (average fighter)." :good it's another day here so i would also have to go. have a good one!
I wouldn't say that Morales was shot in his first fight with Pac, I would rather use the term fading. Either way he still was good enough to out box him the first time around.
well, pacquiao isn't in his prime weight @130 either. actually, imho, pac may already be a little past his prime now. but i still think that pacquiao clearly improved his chin and body punch tolerance while going up in weight so i don't think money may KOs him at 130. mayweather wins this but it would be via decision.
Pac by KO!!! During PBF reign at 130, he didn't fought Casa coz he's a threat. We knew now that Casa tops Chico. I will not waste time with this fantasy fight. I rather wait for the real Pac-PBF matchup at 140-147 in 2 years.
all of those fighter you just mention were previous 126 pounders if not lighter , floyd was a solid, strong 130 with more speed and power then any of those guys .. Sorry pac get a lesson from floyd at 130 , I don't care who you are , your not going to be able to walk through all of floyd right hands , and floyd has proved unless you have a chin like Baldi , more then likely your getting KOed if you let him land all night.
how can you people expect these match ups, floyd will not fight at 140 pounds for a start and secondly at 147 floyd will be far to big and beat pac even easier then the fantasy match up i made at 130lbs
