Pipino Cuevas vs Floyd Mayweather Jnr

I'm pretty certain Corrales did that exactly one time and had to use illegal stalling tactics to get there in the first place

Cuevas was a devastating puncher. Period.

 

He changed the fight against Freitas and Garcia with one punch , and hurted and put down Cassamayor with one punch. Anyway, I'm not debating that Cuevas is not a hard puncher, I'm disputing the assumption that he's in a different league than chico.

 

I never said he was, personally

But he'd be the biggest puncher Mayweather faced because he was a devastating welterweight while Chico was a devastating lightweight

 

Cuevas @ 147lb - 50 fights 62% KO
Corrales @ 130-135lb 45 fights 73% KO

 

Your trolling is fucking stupid

Vitali Klitschko - greatest KO artist of our time

 

Trolling?
Just putting up a KO % :dunno:

 

On this, we agree. Anyway, as I said, I think Cuevas has a great chance of winning this one. I think I would actually pick him.

 

which you know to be a highly misleading stat, quit bullshitting

 

It would definitely be intriguing

 

Some were. WTF do those guys have to do with anything?

 

Cuevas is a 'banger' but a 'devastating puncher'? :scratcher:
I'd say that guy was the one who handed him his 7th loss in 25 or so fights...

If Andy Price can outpoint a prime Cuevas...then Mayweather pretty much does the same ala Maidana.....

Thats Marcos Maidana....the wreckless, wild punching-machine from Argentina, yeah?

 

I'm not sure how you can look at Cuevas fights and not say he was a devastating puncher. He wasn't fighting HOF'ers but most of them were solid pros that went to pieces when he landed clean.

And mentioning his record over and over is silly. Are you a 13 year old "money team hat weaver"? Lol.

 

Terp, I'm anything but a TMT'er....Im more of a historian....but I don't get dewy-eyed about the 1940s-1980s or whatever.

I recognize boxing skill when I see it as I do massive punchers: Mayweather has the former but Cuevas never struck me as being the latter.

And I just think Mayweather times Cuevas all night long....

 

Cuevas definitely struck his opponents as the latter

Andy Price also outpointed Carlos Palomino before he was champ... He was a talented boxer

 

And that's my point.

 

I agree Floyd probably schools him but I don't see what else Cuevas could've done to prove himself a puncher short of knocking out Duran or Hearns. You must have dew in your eyes to question his power.

 

Cuevas power is overrated in the sense that some consider him to be among the best puncher ever. He wasn't. And the Duran fight proved it. Even the commentators were saying that even if he landed a lot, he didn't seem to be able to hurt Duran.

Again that doesn't makes him featherfisted, but proved that he was a few class below the like of Hearns, Foster, Jackson and Tyson

 

He clearly couldn't hurt Andy Price in his 15th fight either.

So for someone like Mayweather - who rarely gers tagged unless - it's a piece-of-piss victory really.

 

well that wasn't the real Cuevas cause everyone knows that he was only in his prime from the 1st Espada fight till the Hearns fight (even if the price fight was barely a month before the 1st Espada fight)

 

So, what sets Klitschko´s KOs apart from someone like George Foreman´s?
Frazier and Norton....at a push.

Ali said it best when he read out some of Foreman´s opponents, pre-Zaire:
¨He ain´t fought no-one.....who´s he fought? Pass me that list: Boone Kirkman - never heard of him....Charley Polite - who´s he? Lou Bailey....no....Stamford Harris? No. Vernon Clay - he might be good¨

 

It's absurd

The one thing the guy had was power, it's the entire reason he was a champion for four years

 

yeah let's just ignore Frazier and Norton::

 

No, what I mean is.....the discrepancy between Foreman´s KO % and Klitschko´s shouldnt be just those two guys.
Hypothetically, Vitali gets those two out of there just as fast, right?

 

Vitali never got people out fast, that's my whole point... His stops were almost always accumulation... Yet his "KO percentage" taken out of context makes him seem like some huge banger

 

´Technique´ :dunno:

 

Just to reiterate in case there's still some confusion around here on this matchup : Floyd absolutely schools and embarrasses this caveman

 

Unless he gets ktfo.

 

Yeah but you can say that about any matchup.
