Some things to remember about Mayweather come fight night

On May 5th Mayweather;

- Will be 35
- Will have fought less than 4 rounds in the past 24 months
- Will be less than a month away from being sent to jail
- Will be a guy who walks around at 150 lbs, moving up in weight to fight at the full JMW weight limit.

Remember, "Invincible men only exist in the movies"

Miguel Cotto's record against undefeated fighters, aka "Invincible Men" 6-0 5 KOs. Will another invincible man crumble under the hands of Cotto, or will Cinco De Mayo turn out to be typical May weather? Here's boxing expert Doug Fischer's take on the fight;

I don't know. Many people opined that a big reason Mayweather beat Corrales was because Corrales was facing jail time. You ever been to jail? I haven't. Who knows how much that effects you mentally.

How old are you? Most older people I talk to says that their body starts to break down when they hit their mid 30's. We'll see if that holds true for Money. 35 is still 35 though, no one is immune to the aging process.

How do you know? I've seen plenty of fighters lose or put on bad performances and have it blamed on inactivity.

How is Cotto not a proper JMW? His power and speed have carried well there, he's been able to perform at a high level there, and he has to cut about 20 lbs. to make the weight. Sergio Martinez claims he can't fight at SMW despite walking around just above the SMW limit. Well Mayweather walks around below the JMW limit. That can't be ignored.

I'm just pointing out facts. Plenty of fighters have had losses blamed on age, going up in weight, inactivty, and impending jail sentences. Mayweather is a 35 year old fighter, who has been inactive, is going up in weight, and is facing jail time. You can't simply act like that isn't the case.

 

Fischer is picking Mayweather in this fight.

 

Mosley was ranked number 3 p4p at the time. Many people thought he had a good shot to at least be competitive. Not many people thought Shane would lose 11 rounds. As far as Ortiz, how many people claim Mayweather has problems with southpaws? Ortiz is a big, powerpunching southpaw, with good hand and footspeed. He had also just come off a big win, and was the number 2 rated WW. It's easy to see why some people were giving him a legit shot. Let's also not forget that Mayweather was coming off a 16 month layoff.
