Well, Paul Williams is rangy and throws a lot of punches. I think it would be difficult for Floyd to win rounds at Williams pace, and defend against all the punches. Besides, you've taken it out out of context: I was putting forth an opponent that Floyd can gain a higher ranking by beating if a Pacman fight doesn't happen. Lad. Pac is a southpaw, and Williams has had a close fight last time out against a southpaw, and lost his only fight to a southpaw (brutally avenged of course) so I guess Roach could build a gameplan using that. I wouldn't favour Pac to beat Williams though, he's an oddity. Great fight though. Lad.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7T4v2l-PIg"][/ame] Are you ****ing for real..? Can Floyd Mayweather throw combinations like "Roy Jones Junior, or Sugar Ray Leonard"..? Technically inside of the ring, Floyd Mayweather has not taken boxing to a whole new level. Guys like Roy Jones Junior, Sugar Ray Leonard, Muhammad Ali did just that. From a pure athletic and technical point of view. Usain Bolt has reshaped and redefined sprinting, just like Maurice Greene/Ato Boldon did before him. Bolt is making all the top coaches and sport doctors and what not.......rethink what they thought was possible. Pound for Pound Floyd Mayweather has not taken the sport to a whole new level, he is just simply the best around today. "Roy Jones" was doing things inside of the ring, that no one had ever seen before. I remember commentators saying..."Thats a combination that i have never seen before"........"Unheard of".......just afew of the quotes. Floyd Mayweather is just simply the best boxer, of his era....so far.
I also think that boxing is not comparable to other sports for evolution. In conditioning? Yes. But we have SEeN older fighters do 15 hellish rounds, have SEEN them do miraculous things, SEEnlN them fight other great fighter, with same day weight Ins, ONE world title and know that, unlike football boots, skills, training methods may have refined, when you've got two guys punching each other it doesn't really matter when you fought. Bone density hasn't improved in 50 years or whatnot, advancements in training would not make a modern fighter harder for a fighter from a byegone era to compete against, just helps the modern fighter make the 15 rounds they SHOULD be fighting. With te amount of titles nowadays and the big fights not always beig made, I think boxing had regressed a bit. Fighters don't need to prove their greatness asucj, they can grab baubles in a few weight divisions and proclaim themselves a 'two weight world champ'. Oppositions is more important, and by fighting many more fights against Elite level opposition, the likes of Gavilan, Ike Williams, Jose Napoles, Luis Rodriguez, Alexis Arguello, I could go on and on but they **** all over Mayweathers resume, which is good rather than amazing, and who doesn't have any more technical skill than any of the aforementioned fighters, just a different style. Is he any more impressive defensively than Locche? Benitez? Sweet Pea? Zapata?!? Not IMO. He gets a free pass, for what reason I still cannot figure out.
Castillo was hardly Michael Jackson, when he faced Floyd Mayweather.... Did'nt he pressure Floyd Mayweather..? yes he did. We are talking about Shane Mosley right..? or is there a "brick wall "named after Shane Mosley..?
Kool, read back and you will see how I came onto that. You don't need me to explain just look back a few pages. It was a tiny tidbit of a discussion, and doesn't warrant discussing. Just musing on who Floyd could face to improve his resume IF he doesn't face Pac.
Kool, your posts are like surrealist poetry. I'm far too stoned, and ts far too late for ke to discuss with you something that isn't interesting or noteworthy enough to discuss. I write in plain English; if you can't decipher my prose, that's your problem not mine. Lad.
I'll watch The Toxic Avenger over that. That's the avi I was on about :good and nerds don't have granite chins :deal
Your saying Shane Mosley, does not have the feet to pressure Floyd Mayweather. Castillo was nothing special in the mobility department, never was...never has been. Technique and ring smarts, cutting off the ring etc....can make things allot easier for a fighter. Shane Mosley is not slow by any means, on his feet...he still has decent agility and speed.
Floyd-post Castillo moves a lot more. Look at how cautious he boxed against web Marquez. His workrate has gone down, he'll use excessive movement and pit shorting in this one. Te feet refers to movement and angles: stand anywhere other than in front of Shane and you're posing him problems. It's crazy you make a comment on a fighter and you're a borderline hater. I'm a big Mosley fan, I'm just stating fact: Mosley does not have the movement down to effectively pressurise the overtly negative Floyd I assume will turn up, and the inactivity will do him more harm than Floyd I reckon. Again, of je wins, a good win for Floyd, but not one that catapults him into the elite level of ATG's IMO. His resume is still sparse with Mosley on it.
Youll get over it as, sorry to break it to you, but she's unattainable. Unless you were in an 80s movie, then you coudl go back in time, or make her in a machine, or just be a cool cad and chat her up. But for now, the avatars should suffice. Hopefully
