Do casual boxing fans even realize how good Mayweather is?

He also has not fought Manny Pacquaio.
You forget the mark up DLH did to him? That's old DLH. What would younger Cotto have done to him? We never knew because the fight never happened.

 

Agreed, but he looked like he had been in a fight after DLH.

 

what an ignorant comment. go watch ufc

 

he looks good against low level opponents. when pac fought david diaz who is probably the same caliber of fighter PBF usually feasts on, Pacquiao looked like untouchable. everyone can look good when your opponent is not good. pacquiao looked hittable in many fights but that's because he was fighting the trio of marquez, morales and barrera, arguably the best group of featherweights/SF in boxing.

When PBF fights good fighters, A.K.A castillo, DLH, hatton, Judah, he looks hittable. damn, pacquiao looked better and was unmark against hatton while hatton had a lot of success early against PBF. Its in the quality of opponents :hi:

 

I bet Cotto would have landed more on PBF than he ever landed on pacquiao and that is even counting the free punches pacquiao allowed Cotto to smack on him when he tested his power. you don't know hard it is to hit pacquaio. the guy is always moving and is always on the offense.

 

Your a moron. With the exception of Castillo 1, Floyd had both of these fighters missing in every round. Both Hatton, Judah and DLH were heeld to multiple single digit punching rounds, while getting outlanded nearly 3-1.

Floyd gets hit. All boxers get hit sooner or later. But when its happened its rare, thats why its a special occasion. Almost like haleys comet.

 

If you can get in the ring with Oscar, Hatton and JMM and not turn your back once, and last 12 rounds without gettin a mark on you or ever getting hurt in all 36 rounds of fighting. Then yes, you are a master.

 

PAcquiao is not hard to hit. Marquez tee'd off on him like a golf ball. His movement as Manny Steward says really doesnt serve a boxing purpose, its more his own rhythm and timing being set up. Cotto wouldnt have touched Floyd. Far to slow. Hell Cotto barely hit Clottey and he's gonna hit Floyd lol? Please.

 

No, however you wouldn't be doing what mayweather does. If you truly believe mayweather runs for 36 minutes then you need to find a new sport.

 

Yeah, Hatton and Judah barely landed anything. They both avereged single digit connects per round against Floyd. Hoya landed just 122 punches against Floyd over 12 rounds, which of course is just over 10 conncects a round and landed only 21% overall. Despiste Hoya's inablilty to land on Mayweather, his 122 conncects were just 55 less connects less than Mayweather's previous 4 opponents...combined! That's amazing. In 40 fights only 1 time was Floyd's opponent able to land consistently on Floyd and that was the first Castillo fight.

 

Do these fools seriously expect us to not call them on their bull****.

Floyd is the least hit fighter since compubox was recorded. He got hit less in his prime then either Whitaker or RJJ in theres

 

You're also a moron, Pacquiao was almost untouched when he faced these same fighters. you don't know how hard it is to land on pacquaio. the guy is constantly beating you up and when he's not, he is on the move with his quick feet. the only reason pac looked hittable and vulnerable is that he just finished fighting the best gathering of featherweights/SF in boxing history A.K.A Morales,marquez and Barrera, all elite fighters. not to mention pacquiao was not intent on boxing in the first morlaes fight, always looking to finish morales by brawling. When Pacquaio slacks off in the quality of opponents A.k.A. Diaz, the caliber of fighter Mayweather likes to feast on, Pacquiao looked untouchable and Godly. lol. its in the quality of opponents. Hatton landed more on PBF at 147 than he did on pacquiao at 140, his best weight. Cotto would land more on PBF had they fought, more than he could ever land on Pacquiao, and that is counting the free punches pacquiao allowed Cotto to land lol :hi:

 

Corrales and cAstillo would have destroyed the versions of Barrera and Morales that Pac fought. The version of Oscar Pac fought was 2 years older and drained when Pac fought him. Ricky Hatton was shop worn and ready to go against anyone with a decent punch. And Cotto after his beating against Margarito needed a gift to beat Joshua Clottey.

PAcquiao also did get hit alot by David Diaz. Do you think a fighter of Diaz quality would have even touched Floyd? No. He would have got Gatti'd.

 

1.) He never leaves a fighter beat up, marked up, bruised up, seriously damaged.

2.) Manny Pacquiao does.

This says it all,

This shows you how great he has mastered the great Art of actually hitting someone...
