    Need to wake up.... i just read that forrest WOULDNT trouble mayweather AT ALL?

    I think a lot of mayweather fans (and believe me... i like him) have watched too many sharmba mitchel, gatti, and baldomir fights of his and have gotten brain washed.

    When floyd fights ELITE fighters, at the top of their divisions and near top of their abilities.... he HAS, DOES, AND WILL get troubled.

    Castillo troubled him throughout their first fight
    Judah, just like i said he would, troubled him early
    Oscar, troubled him early and mid...



    Just as would Forrest, Williams, Mosley and Cotto (though imo to a lesser extent... to be honest i think mayweather is all wrong for cotto)


    Let me state that i take nothing away from mayweather..... it is indeed a CREDIT unto him that he can adjust and take control of the fights.... im just trying to get through to a few new floyd fans that guys like hatton, williams, forrest, ect... (just watch... i garuntee you hatton troubles him at some point in the fight) WILL cause mayweather to dig deeper, and WILL win more then a few rounds.

    Personally im just sick of this 'so and so cant touch mayweather' attitude that is going around...

    MAYWEATHER fans aint boxing fans dog, they're strictly mayweather dick riders.....i guess it's easy to be a mayweather fan nowadays....

    just like non football fans who all of a sudden are wearing patriots jerseys....

    Mayweather fans would pick Floyd to beat Ali by UD. The funny thing is they always pick him to win by UD not by KO.

    Cotto will hurt and finish Mayweather

    I have to say...these posts are reflective of what is to come...they are both dead on!.., and it is a testament of thier knowledge of the game...J..Floyd 's loss will come befoe he's 34..no doubt about it. Floyds fans will die off quickly after his defeat...that my take.....J. Floyd fans i will take my hat off, he is truley a gifted fighter, but he is not legendary...J.

    Mayweather does lose rounds but he always comes out on top

    I thought Forrest didn't look too good tonight fighting a guy who was much smaller than him and very inaccurate. I mean i think Mosley, Cotto, and PW all have a decent shot at beating PBF, especially Mosley and Cotto, but i don't think Forrest would really trouble Floyd. Forrest called out everyone and their moma except the other champs at 154.

    I honestly think if he beats Hatton and than takes on Cotto, he will retire. There will be no more big fights out there for him after Cotto

    Whoever thinks Forrest won't trouble Mayweather doesn't know anything about Forrest, he definitely WILL trouble Mayweather and it shouldn't be shocking either. Forrest won't win, in my opinion, but he'll give Mayweather one hell of a fight.

    Youre definitely right about his fights being limited...he's to good to take slack fights...so we as fans have to couple him up with the best we have before he past's his prime..when i say that,..i think he has to fight these fighters..just my opioion by the way.....M Cotto...V, Forest...SSM..if he beats these 3 fighters the i will put in all time great status..having said that he would not beat Sugar R. Leoenard/Tommy Hearns/Marvin hagler/R Duran

    Forrest definitely would, I was actually thinking about that watching Forrest fight. his size, skills and experience would be a lot to overcome. People have to remember that mayweather is fighting this month in his fourth weight class.

    i do want to make sure i make clear i do support (just not in THIS fight) and like mayweather, and i do think he would beat most everyone 147 and below... like i said tho', just trying to make a point.

    i got u mang, ur probably the most unbiased guy there is on here, and I see that guys like FOrrest, with great skills and more importantly- size, would definitely trouble Mayweather, if not beat him. There comes a point where the advantage in skill and speed cannot overcome the deficiencies in height.
