If Mayweather opened up? Yeah ... I don't think Mayweather would though Sweet Pea beats your boy, too
Sweet Pea vs Mayweather is a pick'em by any objective measure. No reasonable man can say definitively who would win. It's not like pernell Whitaker has fought a guy with Floyd's style and abilities before and the reverse is also true.
Looked better getting jobbed against the prime Hoya than Floyd did tepidly decisioning the old, tired version
I can argue that Floyd had a bad night and yet still won 8 of 12 rounds in his first fight at jnr middle against the defending champion who had destroyed Mayorga and was in no way old or tired, in fact he was highly motivated. We can play these games all night, Mr Hunter, but I don't have the luxury of your presumptions . ;) Pea never fought quartey, lost to Trinidad ( I feel another excuse coming), lost to de la Hoya beat Chavez who was getting older and was moving up in weight anyway. Mayweather beat Judah, de la Hoya, hatton, cotto, Canelo, Mosley..... Gimme a break. Gimme a fucking break!
Hoya was old and way past his best... Realistically 1-3 in his previous 4 fights with one win against punching bag Mayorga WHITAKER was past prime against the prime Hoya There's zero comparison unless you are Floyd's authorized biographer
Whitaker was 33 when he fought de la Hoya . Yeah that's an old man abut to collapse from heart failure. How old was Floyd when he fought young hungry undefeated lion Canelo? 36? In conclusion: fuck your silly argument.
I'd stack up Floyd's 7 best defeated welterweight and above opponents against Whitaker's any day with the exception of Hurtado of course. That guy was the reincarnation of Ray Robinson.
I know you would and people would laugh like when you attempted to make Corrales into Hearns ... Your bias in favor of Floyd is comical
Please. I never said corrales was as good as Hearns . You know that and so does everyone else. I said Corrales being a co champion and undefeated and being seen as the next best in his division and his most formidable rival and being significantly taller, made corrales his Hearns equivalent in terms of taking on that challenge. I had brought this up in response to those moron who claim that Floyd always ducked the toughest opponents. The fact that you're trying to spin it into something else tells me that you're getting desperate now. Remember, you're dealing with the Sly One. You have to bring your A game when dealing with me. ;)
You were attempting to compare Mayweather facing Corrales to Leonard facing Hearns as if these things have the same value
I get sly's point. Although I don't think anyone ever accused floyd of cherry picking until at least 140 so it's kinda moot!
Hopefully broadwayjoe is indeed dead. He's a waste of space on this planet with his closet homosexual self.
See, I don't think moving up to 154lbs when you've barely gotten used to the 147lb limit and taking on De La Hoya in his first fight since destroying Mayorga can be classified as cherry picking. That's why some of you seemingly smart guys boggle my mind at times. Lol Undefeated Ricky Hatton at a time when he was a honafide top 5 pound for pounder is not cherry picking. Fighting undefeated Canelo Alvarez after the latter beat Trout, Lara and Mosley is not cherry picking. What, he should have fought Margarito and Cintron, waa waa waa? Some of you guys can be real ignorant cunts at times. Lol
Fighting Hatton, a fighter who relied almost entirely on being massively heavier and stronger than his opponents, at 147, where he basically lost by KO to Collazo in his only previous fight there, is a bit different to fighting him at 140, no? MTF
Exactly. Nobody can criticize PBF for what he did below 140. At 140 and upward, it's a whole different story
Didn't Hagler fight mugabi and Duran and Hearn and Leonard at weights they were notnoriginally in? Tyson fought spinks. Leonard fought Duran. Pryor fought arguello. Y'all acting like this is something new. Judge all the others the same way then.
