now that is a mismatch no matter the skill set (not even mentioning the reach adv)
while mayweather outboxed marquez it didnt seem as if marquez couldnt touch mayweather or hurt him for that matterLast edited by stevsta; 09-20-2009, 10:44 AM.RIPComment

Mayweather is a dick head, I cant wait till Pac-man puts him in his place.
Pac-Man is a humble boxer who doesn't show off, thats what a true champion is. Unlike Mayweather, Pacquiao jumps up 2 weight classes and wips people (ex. De La Hoya). Unlike Mayweather who fights someone who jumps up 2 weight classes and talks shit afterwards.

yeah not suprised on the result of the fight, can't wait to check out the replay, but seemed to me to have went as expected. I want to see him fight Pacquiao. I think it would be a great fight, i dont' think I would be ready to call it a win for either fighter right now, too bad the fight will probably never happen as it seems that Bob Arum has no intention of doing business with PBF and the feeling is pretty much mutualComment

archer you do realize marquez jumped up 2 weightclasses and mayweather also went overweight 2 pounds

enough of the Delahoya fights comparison between PBF and Manny.... there are different fights... Floyd fought DelaHoya at 154, which is pretty much his natural weight.... Manny fought Oscar at 147 which he drained himself to get too..... just like you cant really compare the fights against Marquez between the two.... Floyd fought Marquez two weight classes about the weight Manny fought Marquez ( hell it might have been 3 weight classes)
with that said.... i think Floyd dominates Manny.... while the speed is virtually the same, the styles are what makes that fight, and Manny is perfect for Floyd... he is aggressive and throws alot of punches, but he is small and isnt very good defensively, while Floyd is great defensively and loves to counter punch...not to mention, Floyd would have a distinct size and reach advantage over Manny and he aint droppin below 147 to fight him...Comment

As for a PBF Pacman fight he would beat him. The size advantage and Mayweathers cautious style would lead to a fight in which Manny presses the action but gets caught inbetween punches and the size disparity would be to much.
If Mayweather fought Cotto it would mirror the Marquez fight. Cotto is just to slow and Mayweather wouldnt engage at all. If he was to engage in that fight then it would close but we all know Mayweather by now.
The only fight for Mayweather that makes sense to me is a fight with Mosley but everyone seems to be fooled into thinking a fight between Manny and Mayweather would be such a great fight when it would be a gross mismatch unless Mayweather makes 140.
You have to respect Mosley. He even offered to come down to 140 to face Manny but all the wolf tickets Roach was selling was bullshit because he wanted no parts of that for Manny.

Mayweather would pot shot Cotto to a boring UD much like his fight with Marquez. I would be rooting for Cotto but I dont see him winning it based on Mayweathers cautious unengaging style. The few times Marquez touches Mayweathers chin the other night he immediately jumped on his bicycle. The boy doesnt like to get hit.
If he fights Mosley and doesnt hit him with something Mosley has to respect, shoulder roll be damned. Mosley is gonna walk his ass down and force him into a fight where he will ultimately get KOed IMO. If not a KO a UD decision.
