    The only X factor I can think of that could help Tito is the idea that Roy might be hurting himself to make 170.

    Yeah, although I think Roy was bragging more about his handspeed and he is still pretty fast for his weight and age.

    But to me that's a silly thing to brag about. If Roy did that against Dawson than it would be something to brag about.

    Roy is faster than Mayweather, easily. Even at his age and his weight AND he's slowed down....andSTILL the fastest :clap:

    All I know is that the combo he through in the 11th round against Hanshaw was fast as fuk and that came in the 11th round and at the age of 38. Now if his hands aren't as fast as PBF's they are pretty damn close. The question is will PBF's hands be as fast as Roy's at 38-39. I'll Holla 5000

    jones is fast, true. he's also fighting a guy who could not beat mayweather right now. what does that say for a guy who has been fighting at least 30lbs heavier than mayweather has for about a decade.

    I'd pick mayweather over trinidad right now, even at 170lbs. no hesitation.

    How the hell would Floyd hit a guy as big as Tito :notallthere: Get inside? :laughing:

    yes how would mayweather ever get past that rapier jab of trinidad . 12-0 shutout.

    Ridiculous.

    trinidad has nothing. he wouldn't be a suitable sparring partner for mayweather at this point.

    actually maybe he would, since baldomir was used in that capacity. he'd do as well as baldomir did, under the lights.

    Its not like Titos arms have gotten longer or hes grown taller since he was at welter?

    If Oscar can stagger Mayweather and break his nose @ 150's, Tito could decapitate him.

    It's not like Mayweather is fighting guys as big as Tito....wtf?

    So Floyd will get inside of Tito's short left? :lol: Yeah, Floyd gets inside of fighters because that's the fighter he is, mixing it up :laughing:

    Short left :laughing:

    Andrew "Twinkle Toes" McJack

    lol and why does money have to get on the inside? sticking the jab from the outside would work fine. Oh nearly forgot about Trinidads spectacular footwork, hed be able to force money inside right :laughing:
     
  15. Tyler Durden

    Tyler Durden WBC Silver Diamond Emeritus Champ

    Money will stay on the outside and hit him at will with his lenky jab :eek:

    All fighters have become Winky now, basicly the same build and defense ya know.

    now mayweather got his nose broken vs delahoya.
     
  17. Tyler Durden

    He did, it's a fact. Watch the 12th round :bears:

    No I dont know?

    Andrew "Twinkle Toes" McJack

    Come on Neil, didnt you know this. Floyd was also out on his feet, I dont know how he survived.

    Trust me, everyone is southpaw and keeps their arms out in front of their face.

    mayweather beats up light heavy weight statues in the gym quite often. trinidad would be no different. when was the last time trinidad won a round against a guy who could box?

    better yet I'm curious to know who here would actually pick trinidad over mayweather @ 170lbs

    sorry for not clarifying
     
  23. Tyler Durden

    Tyler Durden WBC Silver Diamond Emeritus Champ

    When was the last time Mayweather went 12-0 against a guy over 20 pounds heavier than him that has tremendous power? If you are curious to getting "money" groupies to side with you, take it to mythical matchup because that is as close to a fight these two will get in.

    Yeah, like Tarver countering with a strong left!

    :bears: :bears: :bears:

    Atleast someone here understands that PBF is fast but , he isn't close to being that fastest ...
    Speed is speed ... If you don't have anything else , you might not be that good of a fighter. There are probably guys with shit records that are faster then PBF. They just don't bring anything else to the table ...

    PRIME Roy SHITS on Floyd's Handspeed...TODAY's Version just MIGHT Still B a Tad FASTER...

    Floyd has VERY GOOD Handspeed, but N a Historic Sense, there's PLENTY of Fighters who had Quicker Hands...

    Roy, Sugar Shane, Zab, Meldrick Taylor, Bernard Taylor & Others...REED Doubts Floyd would Make ANY "Top 10 Handspeed EVER" Lists


    REED:cool:

    Roy says a lot of crap.... He would fight Lennox or Mike Tyson, He's never ducked anyone....Superman is Back.... etc.... People are acting as if he hasn't talked out his anus before.

    Roy seems to have most advantages:

    speed: Roy
    size: Roy
    power: equal
    chin: equal
    skill: Roy
    youth: Tito
