Mayweather vs Forrest at 154: Forrest wins.

Shut up.........damn.

 

Comparing Ike Quartey to Floyd?

Good comparison if you started watching boxing yesterday, considering Floyd doesn't use a Winky Wright style guard, (actually I think Winky got his style from Quartey), nor does he come straight foward attempting to press the fight.

Nor did you mention that Forrest put on possibly the worst performance of his career considering he was just coming off a shoulder injury and everyone had put him in the dumpster saying that he was done.

But yeah, good comparison. Forget about stylistic implications and all other factors, and just look at the size of the opposition.

Wow, I'm hoping you're studying some form of science because I think we got the next Isacc Newton on our hands. I heard he was gay too.

Keep on using if then fallacys because all fighters fight the same. I forgot that.

 

Those are two southpaws that you named, and of course Floyd needed to keep his guard up because that's the way you deal with southpaws, and that's the way you deal with SPEED.

Even Floyd has to adjust to something like that.

If you want to use Forrests fights against Mora, a former middleweight, and Quartey, then I can say the same of Floyd.

Where were the combinations you speak of against De La Hoya, Baldomir, and Hatton? I didn't see them. Even when De La Hoya was obviously winded and Roger Mayweather told him to let his hands go, Floyd was reluctant to turn it on, yet a former featherweight just beat the living **** out of De La Hoya.

So this means to me that perhaps Floyd is reluctant to let his hands go and take risks against larger opponents or perhaps the weight caught up with him, (doubtful), and he's just unable to throw the combinations we've seen him throw in lower weight divisions.

And counterpunching would not be the best approach to this fight when your opponent is a counterpuncher with speed and a more than noticable size difference. Mora could get away with it in the first fight against an underprepared Forrest and win a decision by a hair because he could utlize his 6 foot frame to fight where it would negate Forrest's size advantage.

Floyd does not have this advantage, would be fighting at 154, and it would be INCREDIBLY difficult for him to counterpunch a guy who's already standing at a lean, and has his hand in position to block.

So, if you're assuming that Floyd will use his high guard, take some risks, and bring the fight to Forrest, then you have a point. ****, he doesn't even necessarily need a "high" guard, just hands up, head movement, angles, and a jab could beat Forrest as long as Floyd throws combinations and gains Forrest respect.

You see, it works both ways. You can't just assume that Floyd is going to go in the fight blazing when he hasn't shown that in his recent fights. Same way you can't assume that Forrest will come in to the fight looking like he did against Mora the second time.

 

I don't hate PBF. I just don't think he's invulnerable. I'm trying to test out the knowledge of his fanatics.

 

You really have no idea what you're talking about do you.

I'm just going to let it slide because due to your posts, I picture you as some kid that things he's some kind of a badass because of his Floyd immitation that he does in front of the bathroom mirror everyday before he brushes his teeth.

But reality is like this. If you move up in weight, and you're already not throwing combinations, you might not have the same speed as you did at 130.

And potshotting?

Man, you really are at a loss with this one. This shows that you probably have no ring experience, which is fine, but don't be calling posters idiots when you don't have any idea how to put in practice what you deem as common sense.

It's not.

For your homework, I would like you to get in the ring, and counterpunch against a guy who's a natural counterpuncer with a considerable size advantage, and has fast hands.

Tell me how easily you can pot shot him. Now when you find out that your legs are dying, and you're having no success whatsoever do to his height, lean, stance, and reach, then you can come back to me and say that you're sorry.

But.......now since it was painfully obvious that you don't know what you're talking about, which is something I should have known when you mentioned that Floyd "adapted" to southpaw fighters by putting his hands up, I think we should just end this right here before you hurt yourself.

 

That was a terrible post Pimp C.

I gotta go, but I'll give you some historical examples of WHY.
