Angulo is Floyd's worst nightmare.

I totally disagree. Mayweather would make this fight look easy.

Angulo is not even close to Margaritos level, imo. (I do think Margarito would have given Mayweather some hell back in the day)



This fight would actually be one of the easier 154 fights out there for Mayweather.

Just imo..... maybe im way off, but I dont see Angulo troubling Mayweather in the slightest.

 

I think Cotto applies the type of educated pressure, behind a jab, that Angulo doesnt and cant apply.

I actually think Mayweather doesnt need to run from Angulo, I think that Angulo is too slow and plodding (just imo, no disrespect to Angulo, I actually do like him) but I just think hes too slow and predictable to get floyd out of his comfort zone.

So I think Mayweather will move, but I dont think he will need to be the old mayweather in there using great movement, angles, ect. I think even this version of Floyd could stand in front of Angulo and simply use his upper body movement to make Angulo miss and then make him 'pay'.... by pay I just mean scoring for the judges.

Now, if Angulo had a good jab, and applied effective, educated pressure, I would say things just got a hell of a lot harder for Mayweather, but comparing Cottos pressure to Angulos is apples and oranges.

And knock Angulo out? Of course not, he probably wont even hurt him (depends really on how much Kirkland took from Angulos resistance) but he doesnt need to.

Mayweather would land with basically everything he throws, and I simply think Angulo is too slow in both hand and feet, to mount anything effective against Mayweather, at all.

I seriously see this being 11-1, 10-2 area for Mayweather.... whos legs still have enough left to keep the distance he wants from Angulo for large portions of the fight because Angulo doesnt close gaps fast enough, and he doesnt have the kind of workrate to wear an old mayweather out, and when he does have to be more stationary because his legs arent what they used to be, angulo being so basic, slow, and predictable, without a world class jab, would give Mayweathers defence, shoulder roll, and overall upper body movement some highlight reel moments.....

Mayweathers numbers would be out of this world for this fight, Angulo's connect % would be embarrassing (imo), and Mayweathers connect % would be staggering.

I say Mayweather UD, 10-2, in the easiest fight hes had since JMM.

This is of course just my opinion, its not like ive never been wrong before, however Id be fairly confident of this result.


For what you are talking about (Mayweather aging, having to deal with pressure, power, ect) Kirkland would give him a much tougher fight, if he can take mayweathers punch, then Angulo would. Kirkland vs Mayweather at 154 is one hell of a fight..... and Kirkland would do the things you think Angulo would give Mayweather problems with, much more and much better.

Just imo.

Also, I must stress that I think Margarito is a better fighter then Angulo, so much so that I would have taken the old, worn out Margarito that fought Cotto, or the one that fought Pac, over the best version of Angulo.

 

Well we will have to agree to disagree, that is all.

I dont see Angulo beating any top level fighter from here on out, and that includes an old, small, mayweather.

Who knows, maybe we will see someday...
