Floyd Mayweather Jr. .Vs. Mickey Walker @ 147

I came across that awful pile of **** in a shop today. I think that woman sports presenter who said that Hopkins didn't count as a legend (on account of the fact that he'd had more than one loss) probably had better ideas about boxing.

 

1. If you dont understand the importance of a jab I dont know where to start. Simply put Walker will be hitting air allot

2. Toney doesnt come forward as much but he handles much bigger men, 60-70lbs heavier than Schmelling

3. Muscling a man isnt always effective, Hatton tried to muscle Mayweather and it didnt do him much good

4. I suppose Monzon, Armstrong and Arguello must be as fast as Mayweather then using your logic that achievement equals speed and defense. Your logic is nonesense, there is zero proof of Greb having great speed or defense. We know he had a great workrate. On tape he is not very fast

Floyds beaten plenty of bigger men Delahoya/Castillo/Corrales/Gatti all outweighed him between 10-15lbs in the ring

5. Your the 1 who gave an example of Greb as someone as fast and as defensively good as Mayweather

6. Mayweathers faced many body punchers, Hatton, Castillo, Corrales, Chavez, Gatti and now Mosley. Mayweather has withstood broken ribs in fights and has a great body defense, elbow blocking and ofcourse great evasiveness and countering skills. If Walker throws left hooks to the body the right elbo blocks and the right uppercut lands flush on Walkers chin on 1 motion

7. And they work harder to drain down for the most part. Compare the average heights now and in the 20s and the average measurements on division and you'll see todays fighters are bigger per division

Dont put words in my mouth I never said Walker makes 130, I do say Mayweather has grown into the 147lb division and is strong at the weight

8. Your right Walker hasnt fought anyone of Mayweathers ability and still picked up losses at WW, why do you keep calling Mayweather a small WW?

9. What part of 'we're talking about a welterweight and not a light heavyweight Walker' dont you understand? Walker also never fought a 6'3 220lb muscled heavywight either (and Haye was around 215 in the ringfor his Cruser fights), he fought 190lb ex-LHW Schmelling who kicked his ass pillar to post despite Walker only giving up 14lbs. If Mosley added 30lbs of muscle mass maybe he'd compete with LHWs, who knows. In terms of strength and power at 147lb Mosley owns Walker and most WWs in history

 

Wrong.

Go back and look at his record.

By the way Walker fought five men over 200 lbs and only one of them made it out of the first round.

 

Tail between my legs?

What is the point of running away from one of the most inept and biased posters on the forum?

 

Bearcat Wright?

 

Delahoya going upto DLHs 154lb weight class, giving up 15lbs in weight, fighting with DLHs selection of gloves/ring size. But wait DLH was 34, the 37yo Britton was far nearer prime :nut I bet a 38yo Mosley is considered too old too :nut

 

Do you know the difference between muscle and fat? Walker beat a fat boy or 2 sure

 

Wright was 210 lbs and walker climbed off the deck in the first round to beat and drop him.

Arthur De Kuh was 223 lbs and Walker anihilated him in 1 round. De Kuh was no world beater but he was at least a fringe contender.

 

You're saying you run away from yourself too? I don't know why you do that, probably something to do with your ******ation or a physcological condition, you should get it checked out

 

1. The punch Castillo landed the most was the jab, which he used to set upbody shots in close. Personally I'd pick jab and speed as the keys for a similarly sized man to beat him, so I'd pick Hearns/Leonard over him at WW and probably Duran. Mayweather said about Hatton 'I'll never lose to a man without a jab' andwe didnt see Hatton landing any clean head shots

2. We'll put the aside, but I take you dont think Toney was too strong for Hagler and Monzon, despite the fact. I'm playing by your rules here. If Hagler/Monzon arent too weak, then why is Mayweather to Walker? That was the point

3. Hatton weighed in the ring between 155-160lb and was very stocky and strong. He pushed around the larger Collazo, Tyszu and yes Mayweather who was happy to fight hattons fight, I thought he'd look to use speed, move and keep it at range

4. Greb was fast, but no men have said he was as fast as FMJ, mainly because no men have seen both. It would be interestin to read comparisons of Robinson and Greb from men who saw both

What we d have proof of on film, is Greb apears alot slower than Mayweather and not as skilled.

5. Define great?? Castillo is 1 of the best LWs of the past 20years with a heck of a resume at the weight, Corrales was too for that matter. hatton was linear champ for 4 years beating Tyszu and Castillo and going undefeated at 43-0, albeit being protected from some.

6. You brought Greb up :fire

7. Mayweather will use his own style, just because. The man most similar to Mayweather in the era was Benny Leonard, but that fight didnt happen, so we cant compare, Leonard as probably smaller too

8 Indeed but on average fightes are getting bigger per weight class. Evenif Walker is the stronger man, thats something Mayweather has dealt with many times.

9. Main point I was trying to make is that floyd is bigger and stronger at 147lbs now than he was at 130lbs, hes a strong 147lber. Walker is weaker at 147lbs than he was at 170lbs, both have similar levels of muscle mass, Floyd has a lower percentage bodyfat

10. We're talking ability here and I hae no doubt a 28yo Mayweather is better than a 37yo Britton

11. Maybe Walker wasnt even prime at WW? If fighting LHWs proves Walker is stronger than other WWs then why did he need to add 25lbs of WWs? If you think Walkers strength was greater because he managed to compete at LHW weighing 170 why dont you think Pacquaio would be too strong/hard hitting for ATG FWs who didnt go upto WW like Pac? The 2 cases are pretty much the same both men added 25lbs of muscle to competeat a higher weight class, it doesnt make them better at the original weight class. That in essence was my point

 

Incidentaly Walker almost beat Schmeling.

Schmeling was afraid that he might kill Walker, and he told the reff that he would quit if the fight wasn't stopped.

The reff caved in.
