Thank God boxing has people like Shane Mosley. A true badass who will fight anyone; let's hope he gets that big fight against Mayweather or Pacquiao.
lolol
mosley wouldnt fight paul williams
lolol
are you saying Mayweather and Pacman are clearly winning their next fight?Quote:

I'd say Mayweather has his fight in the bag, yeah. However, if Cotto beats Pacquiao I'd rather see him fight Mayweather than Mosley seeing as those two have already met; then, if Mayweather decides to fight Cotto (which I doubt) Mosley could maybe have a shot at Pacquiao.Quote:

all im hoping for are clear victories and no bullshit contreversial decisions.
cotto vs pacman should be a great fight, i think cotto will be more prepared in this fight than the clottey fight. We could be seeing that dangerous body puncher again at his best, and his power could stop pacman IMO. pacmans defence is overated, imo the winner is the one who punches first and lands last, if pacquiao can keep up a good workrate he will win. I think pacman will do just that and win by UD or contreversial SD
mayweather vs marquez could be more interesting and fun to watch then people think, marquez is an exciting fighter, he knows how to come forward effectively and land clean blows. But mayweather has too much in his arsenal, the speed, weight, power could be too much for juanma. Mayweather can win this fight on both inside the pocket or on the outside, so TKO mayweather late rounds
i agree with the mayweather fight ko in the mid late fight but i think pacman will do the same to cotto. cotto got power but so does pac but ppl talk about his speed so much more cuz its insane. i think pac can match cotto in power and has the advantage everywhere else. pacman ko
hmm thagt could happen, both have great power.
but i think they will respect each other early too much, cotto can outbox pacman despite not having the speed, then later rounds pacman will get the rounds. but that power factor wont be the BIG factor, even though it could be. The hatton pacman fight is a prime example, hatton had no respect over mannys power.
i disagree pac man doesnt really go through the feeling out process he pretty much dives into the fight
but im saying cotto will change that.
is there any place online that takes bets on fights?
not sure.
google it?
marquez mad underrated on this site. im going with the upset and picking marquez against mayweather. being away from the ring for that long is not as easy as people think.
yea true i half think thats why floyd is slow to fight pac and the fight got delayed, hes probably getting knocked around good in sparring
you say that bro, but although PBF is a dick, he makes sure he works hard at maintaining his health and physical condition. when he "retired", he knew he'd be back. its all part of business.Quote:

I predict a nice fight but UD to PBF.
Peace
yea alot of why i say that is because last time he "retired" and made his comeback he was sparring paul spadafora and was getting worked on. u can see the vid on youtube.
anybody who caught that yea i was wrong
i agree with princerai
firstly that video was in 2006.
secondly mayweather faked a rib injury JUST to get in 100% shape.
thirdly mayweather looked great ready during 24/7, mentally you never know, but physically he looks just as good as he ever has been. It does take time to recover from a long time off, but mayweather has had enough time
i mean great fighters like sugar ray leonard and robinson came back into top flight boxing after 5 years! mayweathers only been out for nearly 2.
marquez is underrated, IMO he beat pacquiao in the second fight. Hes a great fighter no doubt but mayweather has that simple skill set thats just slightly better than JMM. The upset victory is possible but JMM needs to be faster to win and have the better jab, realistically PBF will have the advantage of speed and the jab, but were going to have to see on saturday
should be a close fight in the early rounds, but then I can see PBF pulling away for a late round TKO
Two points.... First, Mayweather is ALWAYS talking that "there's no blueprint to beat me" bullshit. Fuck that, look at the first fight with Castillo. PBF lost that fight due to the constant pressure, body punching, and overall cajones of JLC. Marquez can try to adapt a similar strategy. Second, in that sparring video it's obvious that the most devastating punch that he's vulnerble to is the straight left. Pac's got the best straight left in the business. Coincidence that PBF don't want it with Pac??? Peace-
pacman hasnt called floyd out YET
But if they both win this year then in 2010 THEY MUST FIGHT. The fight will happen, the money will be crazy and floyd will pounce on that oppurtunity
Roach has been going at it with Roger and Sr. the past 5 months since Roach's fighter destroyed Hatton. Pacquiao's also expressed that he would be glad to fight Mayweather many times.Quote:

But all in all,
WAR DINAMITA!!!!
i agree that mayweather beats pacquiao.
i just dont see pacman coming up with a gameplan to win
i think pac man can beat floyd. thats the dream fight right now. floyd quick pac is quicker. idk i think that fight will be an all out technical brawl
look at the hatton fights. pac mman fucking destroyed him. floyd couldnt do it like that.
the buyrates for that fight alone would just be ridiculousQuote:

damn Mayweather looked real fuckin impressive today, and there is no question who is the pound for pound king imo now
he beat the hell out the one cat that made pac-man look human. i think floyd deserves some respect now.
and for the record jmm never stood a real chance. hes not really a welterweight. i know but manny is not of this world. pretty sure hes from mars or something.
Mayweather looked impressive, but this fight doesn't make him the best pound for pound boxer. He couldn't make the weight (paid a 600,000 fine). He is fighting Marquez who was fighting at 130 last year and is NOT a natural welterweight. He couldn't finish him off when he couldn't shut up on 24/7 about how he always ends the fight if he knocks his opponent down.
Marquez looked terrible. He was off his game the whole night. He seemed to never pressure Mayweather or take a chance with him. Plus he lost a lot of his speed after gaining weight for this fight. I thought Mexican boxers were not suppose to show fear?? Marquez looked intimidated the entire night.
On a final note, I hope Pacman gets passed Cotto so we can see this superfight. If Mayweather backs out, he better fight Mosley.
This fight doesnt mean much in terms of legacy, but PBF has somehow improved in footwork and his reactions are as good as ever. BUT AS I SAID BEFORE, JMM DOESNT HAVE THE TOOLS TO BEAT MAYWEATHER thats why im not rating the win highly.
So long as pacman beats cotto the fight will happen, screw whatever mayweather says about BOB ARUM etc... the fight WILL happen.
And theres no doubt in my mind floyd will win a UD or SD against pacman, his in ring generalship is truly remarkable, even if manny shows up with superman speed and power, mayweather will adjust and find a way. Its i his blood. Morales easily outboxed pacquiao, and it was the left hook that haunted pacman, WHICH FIGHTER IN WW THROWS A BETTER LEFT HOOK THAN MAYWEATHER?
No he didnt, he didnt have to. Instead he tore up ricky hattons fighting soul and took the fighter out of ricky away AND took his unbeaten record.Quote:

apart from castillo of course
i think Mayweather needs to stop fighting guys smaller than him for a change. Especiallly if he beats manny
the only small guys he has fought in the last 5 years are JMM, hatton (though only 7 pounds step up). You could say Gatti aswell since he isnt a natural light welter
he fought de la hoya at 154, thats amazing. Hes stepped up dozens of weight classes over the years.
thos would be the fights i would like to seeQuote:

marquez showed him a lil too much respectQuote:
