Dwyer's top 5 fighters that are the biggest threats to Money May

People say Mike Jones, but I don't see it. Mike Jones went life and death with Soto Karas.

Not only that, but he's easy to hit. He's a fundamentally flawed fighter who arm punches.

Floyd would have no trouble with Mike Jones. The only thing he has is reach, but he doesn't even use it properly.

Mike Jones has to go back the drawing board because the dude is cannon fodder for the real players in boxing.

The biggest challenges for Mayweather...

Martinez, Pacquaio, Williams, Angulo, and Lara.

Two big relentless southpaws that deliver volume and pressure, two multi-faceted southpaws that have KO power in both hands and plenty of speed, although one smaller than the other, and an Olympic pedigreed southpaw with a reach and height advantage over Floyd.

Floyd has never fought a tall, counterpuncher, with a solid jab in his professional career. Two of the fighters mentioned fit that description.

One is undersized but cannot be discounted, and the other two can beat Floyd on size, strength, ability to absorb punishment, workrate, and punching power.

Those are Floyd's biggest challenges beyond going up to 168 to challenge Andre Ward.

 

So?

Alverez was 167, Mosley was 164lbs in their LIGHT MIDDLEWEIGHT fight this past Saturday, I'd imagine Cotto being close to that. Which puts Martinez in the natural LMW category, a limit he can make.

 

Man, "take that ish to trial"

Diamond Eye?.....Mobile Alabama?....Mr. Bigg?

 

People are exaggerating how well "boxers" can do against Floyd after Cotto(e)'s performance. Yes, Miguel may be a boxer-puncher with an incredibly good jab, but his greatest success came in rounds 5-8 when he was acting as a swarmer. Don't misinterpret how Miguel was fighting just because of the boxer-puncher label on him. Floyd is a "boxer". Conventional boxing wisdom suggests that even swarmers that are inferior fighters to the boxers they are facing can still trouble the boxer.

LaMotta-Robinson
margarito(e)-Cotto(e), margo(e) acted as the swarmer in their fights wheres Cotto(e) relied on "boxing"
Frazier-Ali
Basilio-Robinson
Castillo-Mayweather

Floyd, even though he is a "boxer", is able to minimize how well they should do against him by being one of the best inside fighters today and a clinch artist.

Many names being thrown around now don't have the traits necessary to play swarmer. They may have a jab like Miguel did, but they aren't consistent bodypunchers and crowders.

 

Disagree.

Why? Timothy Bradley

 

he has swarming skills and can go body-head-body

 

The one and only.

 

Floyd only fights two times a year because he is only a PPV fighter. I think out of this entire bunch he would want to face KHAN because it would be lucrative and Khan is the most flawed. In addition Khan tends to make mistakes and fades after the midpoint of a fight. I am sure Floyd can KO him.

I have not seen enough of Soloman to have an opinion on him.

 

Haha, yea doe.

 

Dwyer never ceases to impress me with his unbelievable stupidity.

 

:rofl:roflatsch

 

Khan and Guerrero???? :rofl:rofl:roflatsch


**** outta here with that ****.

 

"Had em stealing out they cribs,
Cause my crack taste like ribs!"

Classic line right there.

Hoe Check was hot too (before his eye got shot out):

I respect a lot of what Dwyer says, he has very good insight and is an obvious fan of the sport. like everyone else his observations can become subjective. He has his Favorites and others he dislikes.

He likes Canelo for some reason, loves Mayweather, hates Cotto, the Klits, and Pac yet loves Hopkins and Haye.

Hopkins and Haye are every bit as boring as Vlad. Canelo is as limited if not more so than Cotto. Mayweather has a thug persona and hood mentality.

Check out his posts you will see this trend. He said Haye was a transcedent figure of the sport a kind of Ali going against liston figure. This was prior to Haye rolling over vs Wlad.
