Why Is It Everytime A Fighter Around Floyds Weight Wins A Fight

Agreed. Floyd would slice Pacquiao up and the rest as well.

 

Pac is not ready for Floyd yet... Roach needs to even the score by fighting Hatton, THEN, IF THEN Pac have passed this new mountain(Hatton) then, and only then Roach and Arum would agree a match VS the previous pound for pound king.

 

Agreed. Pac needs to get past Hatton at 140 before he even starts thinking about Floyd which is not gonna be an easy task but i believe he'll pull the W.

 

People were calling for a margarito fight long before Margo beat Cotto. Same deal with williams. These fighters size and style initiated the interest in their fights with Floyd and their victories only added to the interest that was already there.

Hatton was never seen as a guy that would beat floyd except by Hatton fans. The fight was interesting because you had 2 undefeated fighters in their primes from different countries etc etc etc, all the stuff that makes high profile fights.

 

The same thing we didnt gave Pac a chance on Hoya? PBF maybe on the highest level of skill. But boxing is a place where you never know what may happen...just like Dec.6.

 

I dont think many as you are making it seem are picking Pacquiao to beat Floyd

but the magnitude of the fight being made is huge, it could be SRL/Hearns again

 

This premise is deeply flawed.
Hatton was NEVER the consensus choice to derail Floyd.It was simply a big fight.
The ones who were popular choices by knowledgeable fans....PW,AM,MC...were never,nor will ever be,given the opportunity.
You're talking as if he has been bumping off legitimate WW 'challengers' one after the other,and Pac is the next in line.Wrong.He avoids the top welters like they have Ebola.
He has a backlog of people who might beat him at WW to face, never mind Pac being the hot new challenge.

 

So Cotto gets the fight beat outta him, hasn't had a return fight yet he is still more of a threat than Margarito? Why do people bank so much on a guy like Cotto who just got put into submission this past Summer? He still has another fight with Margarito awaiting him if they both win and you saw what happened the first time. Cotto won't ever have what it takes to beat Margarito. Never will he be able to absorb as much punishment needed to pull it out. He couldn't do it the first time and the rematch could end sooner. Not saying Cotto is done but he won't ever be able to beat Margarito.

Williams has a good chance but by the time next year rolls around I doubt him and Margarito will be able to still fight at 147 without hurting themselves. Williams is younger but moving from 147-154 will eventually cost him. I'm certain Floyd would win both fights at 147 but not at 154. I give both guys as much of a 50% chance at 154.

 

Very good point. :yep

 

"Everyone" forgets about Cotto,Walk?:huh
Some,but not "everyone"
You didnt,i didnt.
