P4P Number 1 - Mayweather or Pacquiao

What makes you think that?

 

Pac will beat who ? Surely not Floyd TFFP - :-(

 

For me Floyd is the PFP 1 .. People only really dismiss Floyds opponents as inferior because he is so comfortable in there and can always do what he wants, when he wants .. He defeats good fighters with ease and fans dont like seeing it so they make excuses, it was the same with Roy Jones Jr ..
Its about time that all boxing fans started to appreciate Floyd and appreciate his absolute mastery of the art and the science of boxing .. In 50 years people will watch and marvel at Floyd Mayweather ....
Floyd should be regarded P4P 1 until he retires probably unbeaten ....

Pac, Mosley, Cotto, Margarito etc dont have a prayer, hes as close to unbeatable as you can get against the current opponents .. It would take one of the big guns from the 80's to bring him down, Leonard, Duran, Hearns or Curry .. As good as Pac, Cotto and Mosley are they dont stand a chance, if Shane still had that lighning handspeed of a few years ago then he'd trouble Floyd, but he hasnt ...

 

Yeah, but this is just working along the lines that Mayweather is so good, that he doesn't need to fight anyone, 'cause no one could beat him, so lets just give him the credit for beating guys he's never actually fought. Mosley, Cotto and Pacquaio all have a fair chance of beating Floyd, they wouldn't be the favourites, but so what?

No one gave Barrera much chance of beating Hamed either.

 

Pac is still number 1 in my eyes for sure..

I thought Pac was closing in on the No.1 before Floyd retired anyway. His complete destructions of DLH and Hatton while moving significantly up through the weights certainly outweights PBF dominating the far smaller JMM.

I'm picking Cotto to beat the Pacman though

 

Absolutely... if he had beaten Cotto, Margy, Clottey, Shane and Williams fir enough

But look at his comp since he moved up from 135... busted flushes or guys moving up, not the creme de la creme anyway

The guy is a fantastic fighter but for ****s sake, fight the toughest challenges and lets see what you've really got

 

TFFP are you suggesting Pac will beat Cotto or beat Floyd ??
Im probably with you on Cotto as he looks a little damaged to me mentally, ever since that Margarito fight .. I wasnt impressed with his Clottey performance at all. Cotto also has a seriously deficiant guard. Margarito and Clottey were punching through his guard with ease which causes him major problems when he tires, he's too easy to hit ..

If your suggesting Pac will beat Floyd, your nuts .. Floyd will toy with him like he did with Marquez. Floyd can do whatever he wants with Pac, and i'll be having 10k on that one, all i need is for Pac to look dynamite against Cotto .. Floyd wont be there to hit like the majority of Pac opponents, Floyd v Pac will be a schooling far worse than when Erik Morales did a job on him in they're first fight ....

 

^^^ starting to become annoying.

 

Whats annoying EL C ?

 

The cockiness of Axl_Nose.

 

Got'ya

Still think Floyd would pick Manny apart and stop him though :good

 

I think most of you are writing Pacquiao off too easily, his feet and hands are very fast and he was catching Diaz and Hatton with that powerful right hook that they couldn't see coming. My big concern would be how his chin would hold up to the very precise punching of Mayweather, wouldn't be surprised if Pac got took out early, but if this didn't happen he would give Mayweather hell.

 

I think you might be right. Pac probably reached the peak of his career against Hatton.

 

Brinley nice point however I think unfortunately with him, thats exactly what would happen. :good

 

El C - nah that will come against Cotto - Floyd is just a step too far, as it has proved to be for every other single fighter facing him
