He got hit an aweful lot with clean shots vs Collazo and Hatton's face looked like he had just been in a car crash lucky Collazo was very light hitter.Quote:

Okay he had a bad night, there were things before the fight and hes never looked good against southpaws ever. I beleive them when they say hes been training for Mayweather for a number of years with the little things he does. Also he has aclimatized to the States now it always takes a little time to adjust to the travel and arrangements abroad he seemed more settled last time even though collazio was shot it was still a good job done. Plus I know he fancies it.
Did you mean Castillo Scrap?
I too think Rick will be so up for this its untrue. He always fights harder when he is the underdog and I think he has a good chance.
Thats him its late sorry
Do you reckon Rick will be up for this more so than the Tszyu fight Scrap?Quote:

After reading everyone’s post there is one name I have not seen listed, but then again I can see why.
What about the opponent back then that was almost about to get a bout against Floyd Mayweather Jr.? The guy who lost a very close decision to Bernard Hopkins this past month or two. The guy who beat Shane Mosley twice? That’s right! Winky Wright!
I mean if he can meet the weight of 147 or something do you think he can beat Floyd May weather Jr? I mean Mayweather talked some thrash when they were ready to make that fight happened. Floyd said he would be the first person to knock Winky Wright out. Floyd Mayweather has a beautiful defense, I mean beautiful but Winky Wright defense is the best as well! Winky has a great jab! Winky in the Bernard Hopkins fight seemed to be putting the pressure on in the early rounds before eventually getting tired. In the Jermain Taylor fight he was really really aggressive! Winky Wright has been there with big guys! real big guys now! So can Winky Wright actually beat Floyd Mayweather Jr? If he can even meet the weight lol but just giving an opinion here.
I think Winky could beat him, but I don't think he can make under 160 again and if the fight was at 160 it would not be a fair fight.
Yup true!Quote:

Then Tszyu would have lost in his prime? Its funny how many people on here thought that Hatton would beat Floyd, know why? BECAUSE HE WAS A CREDIBLE OPPONENT. That wasn't cap locks I was emphasizing my point.
I think Quintana has effectively shown that Paul Williams is putz when fighting to a good mover, MAyweather would totally negate Paul's height just like he did to Ndou, Corrales by either fight on the outside beyond his reach, or fighting in close where Paul will not be able to get off anything effective.
Mosley doesn't have enough boxing skills, and never did to convince me he could ever have beaten MAyweather, IF MOsley was the type of guy who would come forward through anything and bang up PBF I would give Mosley a chance at lightweight in his prime, but I think he would respect Floyd's speed and power enough not to fight like a brawler, and Mayweather's movement would effectively nullify Mosley's offense, and his straighter punches would reach Mosley first just like Winky's did, just like FOrest's did, where they had height and reach Mayweather has the speed to match Mosley's.
So that leaves Cotto, this would be interesting. I do think Mayweather could get Cotto's attention with his sneaky punching power. Hatton was rocked by Collazo who doens't hit hard, but Cotto was rocked by a lightwelterweight in Corley who didn't hit hard or was in his prime at all. That being said Cotto is very similar to Castillo in how he fights, but with a better defense, more speed, and better boxing skills, BUT he can't walk through what Castillo walked through I firmly believe if he tried to take the punishment Castillo did he would go down. There is a reason Floyd was able to stun Oscar, keep a 14 pounds heavier Baldomir in check. So Cotto is the closest guy to beating Mayweather, but I still don't think he would. Mayweather has evolved since his Castillo fights and knows how to beat that style effectively.
Cotto gets rocked, cut, etc. in almost all his fights anyways.Quote:
