The Boxing Thread (Sweet Science) - Mayweather vs. Maidana

[nflman2033]

I want to see the PBF vs Pacman fight because I think it would be entertaining. I do not want to see PBF vs Cotto. Mosley is interesting, because you have to wonder when his age is going to catch up to him.

i think Cotto can beat Manny.... i dont think he can beat Mayweather though.... Cotto thinks he is a boxer and has some solid skils boxing but he is nowhere near the level of PBF......

PBF vs Mosley would be a good fight at 147... i think PBF could win that fight, his pop-shotting accruacy/defense and speed would help him...... Mosley would clearly be the aggressor, i dont think he would KO PBF though... Mosley really doesnt have a pesky jab and loads up to throw punches... if Floyd can catch him coming in early with one of the check left hooks he loves to throw, he could gain Mosley's respect early..... would be a very interstig fight, especially if PBF throws the jab...

you got cotto over pacman?

[JrRawlins]

i said i think he can beat Manny, but iam not sure if that will happen...... Cotto before Margarito beats Manny...... now...... ehhh..... not so sure...... he isnt the same fighter... i think that is apparent..... if i had to bet on the fight which i wont...... i would probably take Manny even though i am rooting for Cotto..... i dont think Manny is all he is hyped up to be......

yeah, I really don't have a lot of faith in Cotto right now, so I just can't see taking him over Pacman. As far as the Hype, I am not sure I can go against it again, sure there are lots of reasons why he won his last two fights convincingly besides just his skill, but in the end we keep doubting him and he keeps coming up. Cotto maybe a shot fighter, but who knows we will see.

Arreola or Klitsch this weekend?

I dont think May will hit Mosley with anything he has to worry about. I think his speed with be more pesky than anything. As for Mosley not utilizing his jab I dont think that will be the case. Remember he has Naseem Richardson as his trainer and a game plan will be implemented that will include using the jab and crowding Floyd. I hope this damn fight is made.

Hopefully the Cotto Pacman fight is so good it warrants an immediate rematch and this forces Floyd into a fight with mosley unless he plans on waiting around for nearly a year.

PSA to Mayweather and his fans who condone his cowardly acts. This some real shit. Dude speaks nothing but the truth.

Arreola or Klitsch this weekend?

I think that Arreola is a tough fighter who could make a fight with anyone, but he just doesn't have the skill at this point to be able to beat a guy like Vitali.

[BigBucs]

Vitali will break him down. Arreola doesnt have the conditioning to survive to the championship rounds. Klitchko is gonna paint his ass with 1-2's all night and KO him around the 8th or 9th. Will be more exciting that most Klitchko fights because Arreola is gonna press the action but he just wont be effectively aggressive. Manny Stewart is gonna put in the proper game plan and Vitali will execute.

[JrRawlins]

while i dont think Arreola will win, i am definitely rooting for him..... like mentioned above, his lack of conditioning and experience in championship fights is critical.. and i think Manny is a great trainer who can prepare any fighter if they listen ( Jermain Taylor)

yeah there is no doubt about Manny in the corner, shit if Taylor listened to him he would have beat Winky Wright easily, instead he got a lucky draw

Roy Jones Jr has agreed to a fight with Bernard Hopkins in 2010, according to Dan Rafael at ESPN.com. Jones must first defeat Danny Green on December 2 in Australia. Assuming Roy Jones Jr gets the victory over Green, the Hopkins fight will occur in the first quarter of 2010.

The fighters have agreed to a 50/50 purse split but that could change to 60/40 if someone wins by knockout.
