That's all speculation, you can't prove that. Now here's a fact. Mayweather sr. fought Leonard and he didn't look bad doing it. Now his son is twice as good as he was so it stands to reason that he would do better and maybe win. I also believe that he would get in Roberto's ass cause Roberto wouldn't be able to hit him and get frustrated. You know he ain't got no problem with saying no mas when that happens My only real concern would be Tommy because I think he would break that shoulder roll into two pieces.:bbb
That's not even a similar situation. Pryor was nothing of a draw like pac is. He was offered a career high payday. And before you pull out the "40 mill was a career high payday for Pac" line, keep into perspective how much Floyd would get with that sham offer. My people in the biz saw Floyd's offer as disingenuous. An offer expected to be refused. And rightfully so.
:blood Mayweather Sr took a brutal beating from Leonard. You should probably rewatch that fight, it was only kinda competitive for a round or two. Floyd Jr would never beat Leonard, primarily bc he'd never fight him , and he'd get completely destroyed.
I offer my apologies, I misread your original post. I thought you were criticising Manny for not accepting Floyd's offer. Sorry. I don't know what occurred with Pryor as it was before time.
Loudon is easily one of the coolest Roy Boys on this forum. I get the idea that he's English too. Rarity.
Of course it's all speculation, but that's my honest opinion. You make a good point regarding Mayweather Snr. But I'm not saying Floyd wouldn't have a chance IF they'd have fought, what I'm saying is Floyd in my opinion would NEVER have fought Ray. Same with Duran in my honest opinion. I can envisage Floyd skills against Duran, but look at the thread title. Floyd's got amazing gifts, but he didn't have their heart and fire. Floyd in my opinion would have been intimidated by Duran. You know he'd have trashed him at every opportunity. I think he'd have psyched him out. I don't think Floyd would have wanted to have fought him. With regards to Tommy, I'm being serious when I say that I don't think Floyd would have fought him for a $100 M. I look at Ray's 1st fight with him, and I see him busted up and losing, and then I watch him take him out. Ray was the golden boy of boxing in the 80's, but he had tremendous heart. I look at his fights with Tommy and Duran, and then I hear Floyd proclaiming he's the greatest. Floyd would never have put himself in the positions that Ray, Duran and Tommy put themselves in. Of course I can't prove it, but I truly believe it.
That was a comeback fight and it was against a name fighter who twice had bested Pacquiao! The novelty eventually wears out when the people figure out Mayweather is avoiding the toughest competition and cherrypicking.
Hey my man. I'm looking forward to it mate, even though I was a big fan of his. But I'm still on holiday at the moment, and I'm using my girlfriends phone to reply on here. She'll go bonkers when she gets the bill. I'm going to watch it next week. Have a good weekend mate.
Mayweather is going to turn out like Roy Jones, broke and wanting to take on all comers only when he's good and shot and nobobody really cares to see his sorry ass diminished skills on display.
Hi mate, thanks, and i really enjoy reading your posts. Yes Roy's my man. I'm from Sheffield, where Prince Naseem came from. My Aunty and Uncle knew Brendan Ingle, his trainer.
I lived with mates from Shef. Quality guys all around. Bit of a Hatton lover but who wasn't at the time :good Cheers, and have a safe holly eh?
