Mayweather had to grab and hold to stay on his feet, Pacquiao didn't. He just stumbled back a bit, and pounded his gloves together.
He really wasn't pressured much by them guys. Baldomir can take a punch, but he doesn't have much power and ODH did good while jabbing, but he also spent a great deal of time waiting for Floyd to throw. Hatton just tried to do his usual dive in and clinch. Either way, I think Floyd will retire undefeated. I'm not a Floyd fan and I would root for Pac if they fight, but I don't see Floyd losing
:yepYea you got it right. The same Baldomir that got beat by Forrest, the same, actually better, Mayweather trained Hatton that stopped Paulie, and the way past his prime Oscar. I'm not discrediting Floyd, I think his best win is the rematch with Castillo, who beat him the first time, and Castillo at the time was in his prime, at his best, and the best lightweight in the world, but obviously people look at his wins over Hatton, Oscar, and now Shane because they are the "high" profile fights. Had Floyd beat Cotto, Margarito, Pacquiao, Williams, or Martinez in their primes their wouldn't be no question how great he really should be. And he can probably beat most of them, but it's easier said than done. Mosley after the 3rd round looked like many top 147-154lber could beat him. No one can deny the fact the man is 38 and not fight like one.
Man I never said FMJ wasn't hurt. Man the whole room went silent. I thought I was never going to be able to go on ESB again! :yep Look at Pac's body language. His heed rolls back, his mouth opens, and his chin lurches forward. At the same time his gloves come down, his elbows go out, and his palms face down. Look man, they both did what champions do and battled through it. IMHO, I think the shot that hit FMJ was probably harder. The clean combo that hit Pac was more devastating. A fighter doesn't control how his nervous system reacts to a punch. All he can do is train the muscle memory and train not to get caught. They both looked good. I just think that a stiff combo does more than one big shot.
I'm about to rip Malignaggi a new ******* on the Blogtalkradio show...if Jenna puts my call through again.
Are you really comparing 147 ODLH with 154 ODLH? Are you really comparing undefeated Ricky Hatton with defeated busted camp RH? Are you really saying the reigning by crushing victory WW champion is to be dismissed as a stepping stone? Crap like this is why you guys get dismissed as clowns. You are just a hater. By your ignorant logic fighters should fight random tough guys not the belt holders. It is just pure ignorance!
Why are you mentioning martinez in his prime. No one even heard or cared to follow martinez a year ago, his name wasn't even being mentioned to fight mayweather. All of a sudden he is added into the list. Mosley out Martinez in. Is that how it works.
People I watched with were neutral, but they got excited. I was the only one rooting for Mosley and got the loudest.... "Better than Sugar Ray Robinson? Better than Muhammad Ali? Whaaaat?!" Next round... "Son of a ***** is taking over..****."
