boring because he destroyed hatton, who would probably be competitive with cotto. IMO, DLH would beat Cotto as well. i dont think you can question his balls until you step into the ring.
Man Cotto would beat Hatton worst than mayweather did. Bad match of styles for Ricky. At 147, of course. At 140 its totally different...
Floyd isn't a habitual ducker that doesn't even make sense. Who has he ducked that can really actually have a chance in beating him and don't mention that test crash dummy because that was all bs? If he is ducking cotto, then to the same token cotto is ducking him. Also didn't you say Ricky Hatton was going to whoop his ass? You gave him no credit for his victory? Floyd is bad for boxing? I would say that besides Oscar Floyd is one of the others who has brought boxing back to life in the states to some capacity. He did a lot for boxing last year. You are just a perpetual hater, even if he fought Cotto and KO'd him, you would still not like him and bad mouth him. So it doesn't matter.
IT depends on what you like. Right now its: Floyd Shane Zab Regardless of any other factors. But if its Shane in his prime, Shane is easily the most offensively impressive of the three. So my revised order is: Shane at 135 Floyd at 130 Zab at 140 BUT, in my revised list, they are all VERY VERY CLOSE. If I gave them a grade it would be like 99, 98, and 97 out of 100!
Snakefist you seem to know whats going on, except for one thing: Ramshall is a complete ****ing idiot. He's not even a boxing fan. He doesn't even watch the sport probably. All he does is look for any mention of Mayweather o this forum, and hate on 'Fraud' as he always calls him. I literally have NEVER seen him post about ANYTHING ELSE. EVER.. Ramshall: Shut the **** up. You wouldn't give Floyd credit if he knocked out Wladimir Kliltschko. Its OBVIOUS that you just hate Floyd and don't really care WHAT he does. When he beats Cotto easily you will just make excuses for why the victory meant nothing, or not talk about it. Then you will go on to hate Floyd for some other bit of bull**** you'll make up.
combining speed with precision, power, accuracy, timing, and consistency, i'd go in this order: mayweather, judah, mosley
Because his fights are always entertaining. People forget how important that is. Safety first might get you the critics but balls gets you fans for life.
Power 1. Zab Judah 2. Shane Mosley 3. Floyd Mayweather Speed 1. Zab Judah 2. Floyd Mayweather 3. Shane Mosley Accuracy 1. Floyd Mayweather 2. Zab Judah 3. Shane Mosley
Like I said in another post at another time. There are only two or three ATG's per generation. The rest are just fighters that you would like to see again because they are entertaining. Just recently, last year, one of the best fights of the year was Mayorga/Vargas. Neither fighter is ATG (Vargas was one step away) but both were ballsy fighters that gave us great fights. They lost to the ATG's and people treat them as bums now, but to me they will always be great warriors who came up short with their skills but great warriors nonetheless.
Why do you say that? What is wrong with Floyd's offense? His straight right hand lead is unstoppable (he is the master of throwing it off-rhythm so it can't be anticipated. See... all of his fights, such as the recent Hatton fight)) His counter straight right hand is ridiculously good (see the N'Dou fight!) His counter right uppercut is very useful (see all of his fights!) He has an amazing lead left hook (see the Corrales fight) He has an amazing counter left hook (see the Hatton fight) His jab if he chooses to use it is EXCELLEnt (see round 9 of the Hatton fight, or the first Jose Luis Castillo fight) His body shots are excellent, though he rarely gets much praise for it (he throws great left AND right hooks to the body, such as in the Gatti fight. He also has a GREAT jab to the body that serves the purpose of dropping his opponents hands.. though unlilke most jabs to the body, Mayweather really steps into it so it actually has enough power to be effective to the solarplexus. Watch the Corrales fight!) What about that ISN'T better than those other guys?
