The Official Boxing Thread II - Mayweather vs Guerrero (PPV)

[J-ALL-DAY]

The fight will happen............................

If it doesn't, i'd love to see Martinez against Mayweather at 154. He might too big for him, but that's a great fight.

This would probably be the fairest way. I could see it being no more than 55-45 but I think Floyd would not go for it.

There is a ton of factors between a Floyd-Pac fight because they have all been talked about in this thread. While Pac has looked more impressive over the guys he and Floyd both fought, the differing styles make that happen, in addition the circumstances surrounding Cotto, lets face it he was broken after the first Margarito fight and his fight agains Clottey showed that as I think he would definatively beat Clottey if that fight happened again. I honestly could see the fight going either way, Floyd sometimes starts slow and if he gets caught by an early shot like he did against Shane, he might go down, that said, Floyd can outbox Pac, its certainly a fight that can go either way, and thats why everyone wants to see it. Both have also fought guys out of their primes as well, so its not really fair to bash one fighter for it and not the other.

The first thing I want to adress is the people calling Floyd boring. While he may seem like a bit of a jerk, there is no doubt his fighting style is so appeasing to the trained boxing eye, and not just because of his speed, but his adjustments in a fight and the little things he does defensively that are amazing. I'm not a fan of his personality, but no denying he is fun to watch, and there is a reason his PPV numbers are huge.

The people claiming Cotto gave the blueprint to beat him are kind of mislead, Cotto himself is one of the best fighters of this era, and has the perfect style to give Floyd problems. For one he is physically just a bigger guy than Floyd and he is a guy that can do many things in the ring, he can be that bully who can push a guy around, but he is also a solid boxer. I was rooting for Cotto because of my nationality, and knew Floyd would win, but it was going to be his toughest fight to date. In addition Cotto had his mojo back so to speak after beating Margacheto in the rematch. His size advantage over Floyd allowed him to control where the fight took place, against the ropes, and he was able to land shots on Floyd we haven't really seen in a while.

If Floyd-Pac doesn't happen, Floyd-Cotto 2 would be another great fight. As I said early Cotto has a style to give him problems, and I think Sergio Martinez would too, both are bigger guys who can bully him into a corner and control where the fight takes place for the most part, and have power. Put Canelo in that group as well once he gets some more experience over top level guys.

As far as Bob Arum goes, he is a moron and the scum of the earth, the quicker everyone he represents moves on from him the better. Seriously the guy just comes off as bitter and ignorant every time they let him speak into a microphone.

Agreed, but this time out I see Froch taking out Kessler. What can Bute do if he doesn't take the rematch? He basically has to if he wants to be relevant in this division. I would love to see Dirrell get back on track and rematch Froch. I definitely don't think Bute can change much since that chin isn't going to get any better. He showed lack of composure and when he gets hits...............
