Floyd Mayweather and the round that changed everything

DLH at 154 at that time was a tougher fight then both Cotto and Margo at 147.

DLH is a way better fighter then Margo as well as holds close to the same physical advantages. Except way better hand speed, way better boxing skill even at his age, plus way better trainer. DLH also held way more physical advantage with his 5'10 1/2 frame and 7'3 inch reach over Cotto's 5'7 frame and 6'7 reach. Plus the weight at 154 another concession that Mayweather wouldn't have to deal with vs Cotto. As well as a better trainer then Cotto would bring to the table.

I don't see how Mayweather can go face DLH at 154 beat him. The get scared of freaking Cotto and Margarito. Lets be serious.

I don't want to think about Margo winning, that would be devastating. I hope Pac beats the crap out of him and makes it look easy.

 

another apologist thread?

If Floyd is smart, then evrybody in E
SB is genius!

He was ahving money problem before he came out of retiement and courtesy of idiot *****s, he basically made 60 mkillion fighting JMM and 38 years old mosley. He won't fight again until that money runs out.

 

He is just a better businessman that Pac.

 

I've been saying this the whole time. Floyd knows he will take punishment even if he beats pacquiao. He will get hit more than he ever has and I think that scares him abit.

 

he made more money but better businessman has nothing to do with it. he will definitely lose it all faster than he can say "pacquiao".

 

He was there when they were undefeated he left when they were defeated,u are not making any senseatsch

 

Excellent post. Sensible, logical.

 

Floyd's so scared that he fought Mosley last time out. You know, the same Mosley that Roach said he wouldn't put Pacquiao in the same ring as.

 

Huh? He made more money than Pacquiao and is a better businessman, but you're partially correct in that this isn't the ONLY reason he made more money. He's also a better fighter.

 

I was just being silly due to how silly your post was. It was like posting at a 10 year old. :yep

 

..because the gatti fight put him in a market where he could make some serious cash for the first time..it's also when he started to pick and choose who he fought.

don't compare who earned what when lower weight fighters always get the short straw.

 

But Pac isn't a "lower weight fighter" and he is still getting the "short straw"? :think

Could it be that he isn't as good a businessman? :huh

 

pac fought in the lower weights most of his career and he only started making serious money once he hit the welters..just like floyd did.

floyd was touted before he fought gatti in the same way pacman was when he beating mexicans.

'businessman' has nothing to do with it - a fighter has to decide if he can crack higher weights and not all fighters can make that jump.

it's childish trying to compare floyd to pacman as a 'businessman', and who cares anyway?

we want to see them fight.

EDIT : pac is only getting the short straw with floyd because floyd won't ante up.

 

But if we use fighting the golden goose as a gauge... FMJ comes out on top. Pac has been in steady decline.

Common opponents. Total sales. FMJ just is better.

I agree, we want to see them fight. As soon as Arum bleeds Pac dry we will see it. :thumbsup

 

Pacquiao's "short straw" has nothing to do with Floyd . Manny is just real gullible and ignorant. He's signed to Top Rank and GBP. Plus he has so many leeches sucking him dry.
