There's nobody out there for me who beats Mayweather at the moment :good Paul Williams could beat him but I think if you made it at Light/Middle Floyd would win. Middleweight is a bit too much for Mayweather however if he took it and was beaten nobody could really hold a loss against him Cotto - Has no chance whatsoever in beating Floyd so thats gettting put to bed now ! Mosely - Is a great boxer but isn't nearly as skillfull and after such a lay-off AGAIN he'd struggle like hell. We saw the way he was against Mayorga with a bit of a lay off, Floyd would serioulsy punish him if he was to come into the fight like that. Yes he looked good against Margarito however Cotto completely outboxed Margarito for 7/8 rounds and if he had a tune up that leaves it until summer next year ?? Mosely to be too old and Pacquaio wouldn't be contracted into a fight around that time so he makes more financial sense Pacquiao - Is a superb little boxer. but come on, he is wide open for Floyd to counter. Mayweather would knock Pacquiao within 9. This is no slight on Manny either, just his attacking, come forward style would play DIRECTLY into Floyds hands ! Margarito - Outboxed completely by someone who would be able to hold his come forward style for the whole 12 ! At light middle there's only Paul Williams but I see him as better at Middle ??
Paul Williams would be a threat at any weight. It's not every day you see a guy 6ft odd southpaw with arms like Mr Tickle. That would be one of the few occasions where you could truely say Mayweather hasn't seen anything like it. Plus Williams is a guy that will just throw punches no matter what, even if he gets countered he punches through it and outworks you.
TFFP - I understand fully what your saying however I still think he'd be beaten by Floyd. If he was allowed to come in at Middle then his punches may have too much for him but come on, could you see Floyd ever allowing himself to concede so much weight ??? I couldn't. He wouldn't spar DeGale so I can't see him wanting to do it for real with someone 20x better than DeGale
I dont see why they dont just stick to the rules that are already in place and have been for years. If Pac cannot make the weight then he shouldnt be fighting there and surely he cant complain about fightnight weights coz that has always been Pacs advantage ofer 95% of his opponents. I just searched high and low to find a pic of Cotto I once seen while he was training for Malignaggi where he looked very very ill and gaunt and his weight then was not too far from the weight Pac is demanding.
Kellerman and the Golden Boy gang ****ed all that **** up. They wouldnt let floyd answer a ****in question and when Floyd wanted to talk they cut him off. ****s.
I don't recall seeing many boxers with striated muscle, so i must protest that many boxers have 5% bodyfat, more in the range of a competing bodybuilder.
Huh? He fought Malignaggi at 140lbs and chose to weigh in 1lb and 3/4 under the limit. You are making a huge deal out of 2lbs yet the 5lbs from 145lbs where this fight is set down to 140lbs is 'not too far away'. At least be consistent. At the end of the day Pacquiao is a little dude, look at the press pictures for this fight and it is noticeable Cotto is way bigger all over, a much thicker man. Pacquiao hardly has everything in his favour.
http://www.petitiononline.com/FIREMAX/petition.html FIRE MAX KELLERMAN, The man is disrespectful, rude, has a limited boxing knowlege and a bad attitude. We spend our hard money on watching HBO's entertainment (sport or otherwise) and should not have our viewing disrupted by a jumped up ivy-league graduate that spoils the experience. Please sign the petition & i shall personaly send this to a senior VP within the organisation to ensure that PPV boxing or hopefully HBO boxing shall never EVER have to endure such a horrid charecter such as Max Kellerman. Save yorself some money HBO....With enough support we can give the people what they WANT and what they deserve if their paying to watch an HBO broadcast! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uA8hcv1MzA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYjcEH1MylQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPQPOf2L_BA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXYu0tFwJtk http://www.petitiononline.com/FIREMAX/petition.html
I don't know. Floyd called Mosley over and then when it got heated Max tried to calm them down and I don't blame him because it looked like a ruck could have taken place. I think Max went Jim cos they told him in his ear piece to go back to Jim to avoid a Golota-Bowe part 2! I don't think any of us would be too cool in there if we were caught between that many angry fighters and the anger then being directed at us.
Dont stick up for him Achilles ! He's a clown. He should have just let Floyd say what he was gonna say. he could have tried NOT to wind Floyd up and let him answer the questions he was asking instead of stealing the microphone back before Floyd got the chance to speak. the mans a tit !
He didn't do a lot wrong last night. I don't like the guy but Floyd just plainly refused to answer boxing related questions, instead going off on his own little rant and giving endorsements. We the fans and the viewers at home want to hear about the fight, not hear another commercial.
Yeah the endorsments thing was pretty poor however he wasn't really beinbg given time to give a full answer to anything. We all know that Floyd likes to give credit to God, his family, his sponsors etc etc after a fight. Why not let him get that out of the way then ask him the proper questions. Floyd hadn't even finished that before Kellerman was asking him about Mosely. Before he could answer that properley Mosely was in the ring. before we could get a proper conversation out of them two, Hopkins started giving it the big one. Before we could hear the end of that one he was asking about Pacquiao. then when Floyd correctly told him he talks too much and he was gonna do some talking (which is the whole point of interviewing him post fight) he bitched out and started calling "Jim ?" "Jim ?"
