Your favorite Classic Mayweather myths

1. Mosley had him in trouble, very surprised he didn't go down. Almost knocked out...No. If Mosley had made Mayweather touch down, and then carried on pressuring him, then yeah...

2. This is a bit of both. Mosley wanted a breather in the 3rd (and the end of the 2nd) after his exertions, but at that point...Mayweather upped his work and started connecting with clean accurate shots. Mosley's punch stats going up in the 2nd half of the bout were probably down to 2 things...Mosley kind of getting a 2nd wind...and Richardson giving him a bollocking in the corner between rounds (Mosley kept looking for that 1 shot, and you can hear Richardson saying to Mosley that he has to throw more if he has a chance of landing that big punch).

3. Once again a bit of both. But Oscar did stop throwing an effective jab during the bout...

4. Hatton performed best at 140lbs, fight night weight is irrelevant. He was a blown up Welterweight (even though he had experience up at 147lbs before that)...the same way Marquez was a blown up Welter, and Mayweather was a blown up Light Middle.

5. You can defend Mayweather not fighting Margarito upto a point...but it still doesn't stop the fact that he has yet to face him.

 

1)dude, i was AGREEING with you. saying hatton jump up in class (literally and figuratively) is more accurate than weight. the only question I have is, how much did floyd weigh on fight night? If he put on more weight than hatton, did that COULD have bearing. But i definitely don't think it affected him much on fight night. Hatton was what he was and the weight is not why he lost. As for floyd/oscar the weight was a HUGE factor

2)I think we're just gonna disagree on the jab in that fight. I didn't see oscar throw it with nearly the same frequency or intensity as in the first 4 rounds

 

1. He's a runner

2. He's a cherrypicker

 

Judah out boxed him for the 1st 4 rounds of there fight. I scored it 2-2.

 

Judah got the 1st and 2nd. Floyd got the 3rd and 4th.

Floyd was countering Judah's jab with a hook over the top from the moment the opening bell rang.

 

that he's black.

 

it could easily be scored 3-1 judah

 

he'll never fight mosley [never]

 

That Floyd's upcoming marriage to a woman is for real, and not just for appearances.

:deal

 

biggest myth is definitely the hatton fight.

pre fight it wasnt far off 50-50, and any polls from back then will confirm this. hatton was undefeated and had brawled his way to a victory over collazo. he had smashed castillo with a body shot, a castillo who was the number one contender btw. he had smashed maussa, the guy who knocked out vicious harris, he was in the form of his life.

floyd doesnt get enough credit for that win, it is one of the best of his career IMO. behind corrales, shane, odlh

 

Those are true facts. :deal End Thread.

 

that he doesn't have punching power. early on in is career he ko'd tough opponents. also, did you see some of the shots he landed on mosley? he was snapping shane's head back good. not to mention how he put ricky hatton out. the proof is in the pudding. the great cus d'amato said it, sugar ray robinson said it, speed=power, and mayweather has a ton of speed

 

that he is unbeatable. this is the biggest myth and believed by too many.

 

Here is my legitimate myths for Floyd

At the time he fought Hatton , he should of fought the best WW in that division , Miguel Cotto , AT THAT TIME

He lost against Castillo 1st time round , period

When the WW division was thriving Floyd went into hiding , and only fought Mosley because he was backed into a corner , and had too

He is scared shitless of fighting Manny Pacquiao

He will never consider sharing a ring with Paul Williams

Bro your boy Floyd is the best fighter on this earth IMO , bitter pill to swallow for me that considering i hate the man , however respect and popularity are 2 seperate issues , fact is , Floyd is a big **** house , if he had as much balls as he has " god given ability " he may of gone down as the greatest ever ............
