[Boxing] Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Juan Manuel Marquez

Nobody can beat Floyd right now. Not Shane, not Pac, not even Paul Williams. I used to think Williams could do it, but not anymore.

Out of those 3 though, Shane has the smallest chance.

 

Williams has a great work rate, but he isn't skilled enough to beat Floyd. The only way to beat Floyd is to be faster and smarter than him. As of right now, there isn't a single boxer that can do that.

Paul is a good volume puncher, as we saw in the Winky fight. But he never really broke down Winky's defense. He just out-worked him. Floyd can easily outbox Williams and he is faster. The power at WW will probably be the same considering Williams isn't considered a power puncher.

Anything can happen, but I doubt a fight with Williams will even happen. The likely fight will be with either Shane or Cotto. A fight with Pac probably won't happen because of the money. I also am not too sure that Pac will beat Cotto in November.

But we will see.

 

Well at this point he has no choice but to hit up one of those fighters. His next fight has to be against an elite fighter. No tune up, or BS fight. He has to fight Shane/Cotto/Pac/Williams.. Shane and Cotto are the only real WWs in that list.

Only other Welterweights out there are Berto, Clottey, and Margarito. None of which will help Mayweather gain anything. I say, beat Shane, then Cotto, then Pac and retire. Even if he moves up to fight at jr.middelweight again, the only opponents are Williams and Kirkland, neither of which are a real threat.

Hell even if he fought Williams, nobody would care because the casual fan doesn't know who he is.

 

Yeah well Shane should have thought of that before. They offered him 8 million a while back to fight Floyd. He didn't want it. Nobody is ducking anyone. Floyd hasn't ever ducked a fighter. But remember, it is a business first, and if the money isn't right, nobody wants to fight.

Regardless nobody will beat him. If I was Floyd, and I was looking at the Welterweight division. I wouldn't even want to fight. There aren't any challenges. And sorry but anyone who thinks Pacquiao is a challenge doesn't know **** about boxing.


Name one other fighter out that can counter like that? He saw the punch before Marquez even threw it.

 

Yeah if I remember correctly, it was after Floyd's fight with Baldomir. Shane didn't want to fight, instead he opted to take a vacation and get some dental work done. So I don't see how Floyd ducked Shane, if he was offered a fight straight up and didn't take it.

Now that he is old and can't get anyone important to fight him and hes gone through a divorce; He wants to fight. Hey now that Oscar is gone, you gotta either call out Floyd or Manny to get a big payday. Shane is 36 years old, I don't blame him for trying to push for a big fight, but I don't want to hear this **** about Floyd ducking him.

Like I said, Shane knows he can't beat Floyd, he is doing it for the payday. Same with Marquez, I am sure he challenged Floyd mostly for the payday. He is too smart to think he could beat a welterweight that is faster than him.

A lot of people jumped on the Shane bandwagon as soon as he destroyed Margarito. But Margarito is basically a statue when it comes to defense. He stands in front of you and absorbs your punches. He can make any boxer look like a freaking marksman. Floyd isn't going to stand there and absorb a damn thing. UD or late round KO for Floyd. I already got 2 people to put money on it with.

 

I seriously doubt that Floyd is really an arrogant *******. He just embraces that personality to sell fights and make people watch 24/7.

That is one of the main reasons he is hated by so many casual boxing fans.
