    Wow what a match-up! Mayweather was quicker but Paul more soild in terms of techinque.Mayweather had the ability to move if he wanted to and Paul had trouble with movers.Both hand fight ending righthands.Mayweather's chin wasn't as good as Pauls but in my opinion Mayweather had the better overall boxing skills.Man I have no idea who would have won this bout but would have loved to see it-GREAT MATCH-UP!

    Yeah, interesting. You could almost say that Paul was a more conservative, technical version of Mayweather. Although not Kronk trained, Mayweather could've passed for a Kronk fighter if you throw some yellow and red shorts on him. I could see this going either way, but I never trusted Maywether's chin, so I'll say Jimmy catches him in round 14 (keep in mind I'm not a fan of Roger, or the whole family's act for that matter).

    I don't know-Freddy Pendleton gave Paul a really hard time just by mixing in movement.

    Great matchup. I think Mayweather could eke it out, after having several scary moments.
