    What? Paul is a bigger threat based simply on styles. Shane is old, Paul is 6'1 with a huge reach and young and throws a BUNCH of punches. Margo is no threat.

    I dont hate him because of his punch. I dont hate the guy. I dislike how he fights because anyone with speeds and throws straight punches can beat him.

    Clottey IMO he got a draw at best.
    Cintron - lol
    Lewis got KOed by Mayorga. 6 Heads and no chin.


    I don't think he's anything special. He's not done anything to make me think he's good. How he handles Zab will be his biggest test. I'd to see how he deals with the speed early on before Zab poops out.

    So any tall guy who throws alot of punches is automatically a proven threat at this level of boxing??? You realize how ignorant that is.

    You cant just have a "style", you have to be able to impose that style - and not on just anyone - not just on a journeyman - or an OLD ex champ. You have to prove you can impose that style on someone of worth. PW's biggest win was against AM, you still cant admit AM is a good, worthy fighter for the reasons that Lance already pointed out.


    You are one sad nuthugger.

    You'll probably lose him on the explanations of styles. Gotta keep it simple for these guys.

    MAYWEATHER-DE LA HOYA II IN THE WORKS FOR SEPTEMBER 20 IN LAS VEGAS
    By G. Leon

    Boxingtalkers should not be surprised if undefeated pound for pound Picasso Floyd Mayweather Jr and future hall of famer Oscar De La Hoya face each other again on September 20, 2008 at a site to be determined in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Golden CEO was unavailable for immediate comment or confirmation. Boxingtalk has a chat with Mayweather, who was also unavailable for immediate comment, tentatively scheduled for later this week. Stay tuned to BoxingTalk for all the latest. Remember where you heard it first! (9:09 PM EST)

    I would love to see Oscar get KO'd.

    I think Oscar gets dominated this time around..Floyd will retire him for good.

    Miguel Cotto’s manager/trainer, Evangelista Cotto, told El Nuevo Dia that a May 3 superfight with Oscar De La Hoya is the preferred fight for the unbeaten Puerto Rican champion.





    "Right now a fight with De la Hoya is more marketable than one with Mayweather," said Evangelista, "even though De la Hoya lost to Mayweather in his last fight and Mayweather won last night against Hatton, De La Hoya remains the most marketable....the other names that have been mentioned to fight with Miguel do not compare economically with a fight with De la Hoya."



    Not even his trainer wants a piece of Mayweather!
