When asked what it would take to defeat the fighter dubbed 'Money,' Goossen uttered, "That's going*to be a tough one." Often criticized for his 'bling, bling' lifestyle, controversial statements and outside-the-ring shenanigans, some fans overlook Mayweather's freakish skills and maniacal dedication to his craft. "But he's the type of guy who is very conscientious about his health and his body. He doesn't drink*or smoke." "He's dedicated to his sport. He's dedicated to his profession." "Guys like that who can fight like that, they are almost impossible to beat," insists Goossen. I"n order for Manny to defeat Floyd, PacMan must force Mayweather to fight as he did in Mayweather vs Maidana I. When fighters allow Floyd to dictate the tempo, he is nearly impossible to beat."
nope, Pac is way past prime, as Floyd is. I will respect floyd more for fighting pac now than never though, but the fact still remains, Floyd has RARELY in his career faced an ELITE/Prime fighter. In fact, the last one he faced was Corrales and Castillo, and Hernandez. The last half of his career has been a farce and every fight since he's been the HEAVY favorite in and was always supposed to win each fight. It just amazes me anyone can rate him high up the ATG list.
And yet, he almost lost to Maidana in the first fight. The decision could have easily gone Maidana's way 7-5. The aura of invincibility is mostly a mirage created by fighting hand-picked fighters with styles that suit him.
