He fights in a weak era. De La Hoya, Mosley and Cotto were washed up and Hatton/Marquez came up 7lbs + in weight to fight him. Imagine Trinidad, Duran, or Thomas Hearns fighting Marquez, Hatton, Ortiz and Guerrero? All 1st round KO's.
Well in order for it to be a Bluebrint to beat someone he needs to get BEAT first doesn't it haha. De la hoya didn't beat mayweather. One could argue that castillo did but that's not a blueprint since Mayweather did only have his left hand in that fight.
it'd take a roberto duran type to beat him. excellent all around fighter who is strong. there just isn't that type of fighter around these days. if canelo had a decent jab id give him a real shot
Floyd avoided fighters who has good chance of beating him. Floyd already lost to Castillo, there are many who thinks that a gassed Oscar beat him. Floyd is overrated and can be beaten.
De La Hoya is a sick and disturbed man. I actually thought he was unbalanced all through the promotion press tours and All Access. Wishing him the best in his recovery. He is obviously jealous of Floyd.
Name the fighters Floyd avoided that are not TR fighters, put the time he should have fought them and who he and the other fighter fought at that time period. Its easy to say things, but a different story to prove them. Williams may be the only guy, but when he was available at WW, the money was not. Williams should have stayed at WW cleared house and the public would have demanded the fight. It never got there. And this notion that Floyd fought washed up ODLH and Mosley is ludicrous. Floyd chased them for a good portion of his career.
I forget who, but someone summed it up perfectly. He said there's bits and pieces of a blueprint, but the plan is obviously unfinished, an ai couldn't agree more. Many people argue that Castillo, Zab, De La Hoya and even Cotto to an extent had marginal success against him, and while this may be true, Mayweather's ability to adjust to his opponents has kept his blueprint ever-changing.
PBF won the fight clearly there was no demand for the rematch, it would have been a tough sell to the public the second time around. The fight wasn't good. Not only that, Oscar wanted the lions share of the purse and PBF told him to go fcuk himself. If Oscar would have agreed to take less then perhaps the rematch would have been made but he didn't, blame Oscar. You act as if the results wouldn't have been same as the first fight? PBF would have beaten Oscar even worse in the rematch and wouldn't have gotten an ounce of credit for doing so.
Only PBF haters Oscar***uals or people who don't know how to score a fight think Oscar beat PBF. There's no way you can justify Oscar wining that fight. PBF won that fight clearly and if you don't agree you can't be taken seriously for real boxing debate.:deal
@Olu G Rotimi Oscar actually admitted he wanted to see Mayweather lose, I don't know how much of his behavior is for promotional purposes, or if there's actually real discontent. Oscar talked about how he has never gotten over Mayweather beating him.
Even though Oscar lost by SD he simply didn't do enough in the fight to warrant a rematch. He wouldn't throw his jab, he gassed and the same thing would of happen in a rematch.
The Pacquiao that fought Cotto and Clottey IMO would beat Mayweather or at the least make it hell and close fight.
