So, Floyd Fans: Who Do You Have Beating Floyd at Welter in Boxing History

look men castillo gave fraud hell at 135 what makes u think that a less effective fraud at 147 is going to beat duran whos 5x the fighter castillo was... stop speaking out of ur ass, duran will beat fraud up pretty badly dont compare hatton with duran it makes ur argument look even more stupid, duran will force fraud into exchanges and at mid-range he will do ok against fraud and at close range he will batter him badly and duran will force a close range fight just like hatton did but without the clinching and will put body-head combinations together probably stoping fraud around the 11 rd with a crisp straight right hand which castillo landed pretty effectively and duran has a quicker more accurate and powerfull right hand than castillo,,, stop it already with the FRAUD mayweather ass:tong :tong :tong

 

My response was to a specific poster who chose to make personal attacks so I retorted to him. Ive made plenty other posts on plenty other topics, .. . in the lounge as well.

 

Okay, it's been nice discussing this with you guys, perhaps I'll pick up in a few hours and tomorrow, but I'm off to watch the Spurs and Hornets.

 

Floyd was at his best at 130, Pryo at 140. How is he too small? Because Floyd has an inch and a half on him? Pryor's constant pressure, speed, and unorthodox punches from all angles at all times(with extremely underrated accuracy) would give Floyd hell. Floyd's not going to counter each punch off the backfoot or the ropes like he did someone who threw single shots with uneducated pressure(Castillo, Hatton). He'll be forced to shell up defensively, as fighting off the backfoot would be such a tough task against someone like Pryor. He'd be forced to take Pryor head on, and he'd get roughed up. Pryor's one of the worst matchups for Floyd.

 

i didm't compare hatton to duran he did.know what you talking about before you butt in.and his name is floyd i don't know who fraud is and you my friend sound like a hater.castillo was early in his career and he had a hurt shoulder.news brief:deal he beat castillo 2 times so can you haters stop pulling him out your ass as your only defense

 

hurt shoulder :huh :huh :huh it smells more like an excuse to me,, he should be enough of a man and admit castillo gave him a rough fight instead of making lame excuses to discredit what castillo did:verysad :verysad :nono :nono

 

Thats what happens when you only watch Mayweather Jr's fights and no one elses.

 

excuse me do we know each other? i watch all boxing classic and present

 

if you watch the fight you hear them saying that in the corner man come on thats fact not an excuse:deal

 

With or without the mysterious bottle?

 

Floyd has said that Castilo gave him a rough fight. But when Floyd beat him easily in the second fight, a fight that was fought with the same styles, the same blueprint... just without an injury - you have to believe him.

How is Floyd less effective at 147? Floyd may not fight as aggressively at 147, but his defense, timing, and over all boxing skills are significantly better than they were 10 years ago. Do you think Floyd would have a problem with Castillo's style now? Yeah right.

Don't ever tell someone to 'stop speaking out of your ass' when you insist on calling a man "Fraud" like a little child. You can hate him all you like, but you have no business calling him "Fraud" when he would murder you in a boxing ring. At the very least, it makes you seem like a little child who can't argue without resorting to name calling.

 

You are so far off. Floyd had everything he has now and then some at the lower weights. He was by farat his best at 130. Anyone who watches his fights there and compares them to now will see a vast difference. He's nowhere near as good now as he was then, in pretty much any area.

 

yeah i completely agree,,,,,,,
this is what i saw from fraud in his 2nd ww fight i posted earlier
" in his 2nd fight at ww when he fought zab after that joke of fight with mitchell, that when i saw him fought zab it was clearly noticable that he is not the same fighter at 147 than in those lighter weights I saw a Fraud much more stationary than ever before with not as quick feet as before his speed diminished a little bit and tends to rest along the ropes way more which is not a good recipe if ur r going to face a fighter like cotto, or maybe margarito"

 

What you view as "better defense" results from Mayweather fighting more conservatively than he used to. Nothing wrong with that, of course, just stating the obvious.

Not sure that he's not as good but he's certainly more conservative (which is only normal given that he's not a natural WW facing bigger and stronger opponents).

Here the schoolyard analogy applies: we're all brave when it comes to pick on the little guys but not as much with the bigger ones. The smart kids are those who adapt.

 

Quartey didnt win the fight. He certainly pushed Forrest but all the Foes mentioned are at their peak, which was Forrest vs SSM 1. That night? Forrest waxes Floyd, Quartey, and DLH. Forrest's shoulder injuries, surgeries, and time lost sidetracked a great career.

Please keep in mind I'm not disrespecting Quartey liked him a lot but I see floyd with a late rally to get the decision. Am I wrong? Hope its a long time before I get to heaven and find out? We are speculating on prime matchups with AT opposition.
