Breakdown of Mayweather-Wright
The reason I created this is because very few are actually giving Floyd a shot.
If these two were to ever fight, who do you think would win and why?
Break down their styles.
It is ok to just say the size will make a difference, but give reasons and still break down the style matchup.
Re: Breakdown of Mayweather-Wright
Is no one giving Floyd a shot? Honestly, it wouldn't shock me if he pulled off a victory. I'd definitely say he should take the fight if it's an option.
Re: Breakdown of Mayweather-Wright
I'd say PBF has a good shot.But there is a weight difference.A big
question is what weight would they meet at.Other then that i see Winky
making it his usual boring fight by not allowing to much activity,and stealing
rounds from PBF.I'd say that Winky has the better defense.And that if
floyd really turned it on he could use his speed to make his own openings.
Its really a toss up in my book.How willing floyd is to make the fight would
probably determine it.Slow fight goes to Winky.Faster paced fight goes
to PBF.

it would be at 154.
too be honest i dont see any way that wright could win this fight.
I want someone to put up a good arguement and then ill tell you why i think floyd will win. this isnt to insult the poster here i just wanted someone to break down their style punch for punch, little tendancies that they have, how they block punches, etc. what i mean is a lot of detail.

Larry Merchant has to be the most uneducated commentator ever.

I dont know, those guys from showtime are pretty bad.But anyways you said
you wanted a good arguement and if anyone loves to argue its him.

yes but the thing about merchant is that he is just talking and never really says a damn thing, no matter how long he talks.
Re: Breakdown of Mayweather-Wright
Yeah i nicknamed him "the rambler" after the second HBO fight i saw with
him.Its gotta be getting close to time to usher in someone else.I mean
they ditched Foreman or whatever happened there and Jones has been
a pretty good fill in.But I still hate hearing that bitter old man complain
when the action even hints at slowing down.

Jones was there before Foreman too.
Foreman left to come back into boxing and get on with his life.. he didnt get ditched just so you know
Re: Breakdown of Mayweather-Wright
Well regardless i'd love to hear your thoughts on how PBF would beat Winky.
Since to be fair thats one of the hardest fights to predict.
Re: Breakdown of Mayweather-Wright
Good post Magnum. cool click.
Breakdown is simple. Â Wright is bigger and Mayweather is smaller.
Mayweather is going to have to win it by decision. Â Wright will have to muscle the Pretty Boy to get past his speed. Â It's not in Wright's nature to be aggressive, so Mayweather has that going for him.
The only way Floyd wins it, is not by a beat down, but by embarrasing Wright.
If this fight happens, I'm so rooting for Floyd. ;D Â I think Wright's defense has a serious fundamental flaw. Â Yeah I said it you boxing addicts! Â

wrights defense isnt as good as floyd for the most part because wright only blocks punches. he doesnt slip and avoid them with his feet like floyd does.

OH I LOOOOOVE it when HBO complains about a slow fight. Â NO OTHER SPORT HAS COMMENTATING LIKE THAT! Â
Be grateful, because boxing has character and it's character that draws me to boxing. :)

I already know some definite flaws in winky and will watch tapes to see if i can find any in floyd.
some things i already notice without seeing them fight for a while (seen mayweather vs. gatti, but that is in no way comparable to a fight with wright)
it depends a lot on the fact if floyd decides to use his legs.
but if he doesnt i still think he can beat wright standing right in front of him.
wright is as quick to the punch as floyd, but he isnt nearly as fast
wright is the bigger man but this wont be a physical fight and i seriously doubt wrights power
ok.. also wright tends to reach and push with his punches because of his stance.. and he mostly throw straight punches and a lot of times floyd lean back to avoid someone with short straight punches. so i can see floyd getting counter oppurtunities there
also floyd can move a lot better.. so even if they fight in front of each other, floyd will be able to turn and switch angles a lot better than wright
everything wright does works off of his jab and i just dont see him landing it that much here
i can see floyd breaking down wrights defense over the course of a couple of rounds
also if floyd moves around, turns right, makes wright follow him walkis him into punches and throws combos and flurries i dont see a damn thing wright can do about it.
