Maybe in a year or so.....I see it as a good fight...Paul is still coming into his own...Mayweather just too seasoned for him
I really like Pauli. He's not ready for the likes of Mayweather or the other 147 badboys but he's a handful for anyone at 140 lbs.
He'd give Hatton nightmares with his speed.
paulie not bad
but late tko pbf
Not a chance imo..Quote:

As of now it would be a one sided win for Mayweather..
But in a years time who knows how it could go down..
Paulie is getting the experiance and the named fighters right now.. He showed that his power is improving now under McGirt and He might not have reached his peak just yet..
Paulie isn't exactly easy to hit but Mayweather's speed and accuracy will change that. True, Mayweather doesn't bang as hard as Cotto but speed and some power can be just as effective. If you don't see it coming you can't brace yourself for the punch.Quote:

They are not so bad these days..Quote:

Everybody is so in love with punchers that they must have forgotten about what boxing is about..
Hit and not get hit.. He doesnt run either like people Bs about him..
Hes a nutural backfoot fighter..Draws his opponents too him and a smart fighter..
He doesnt use the type of footwork that a running fighter would use.. He steps fairly flat footed but uses great range and movement whilst moving the upper body..
I found last nights fight very entertaining
PBF via UD. Paulie is good,but to put him up there with Floyd because he schooled Ndou,I don't think so. Paulie should stay at 140 because at 147,he would get mauled by most of the guys there. I'd like to see Paulie v Zab at 140,that would be a good fight and would generate well too.
I remember zab bieng a guest on espn 2 and you know how they text in questions..Quote:

Which is a fair point..
Then after a little bit of banter he said..Well yeaa i would fight him, if someone wanted the fight to happen i would but..Yada yada
I dunno..I think they go in different directions and dont really need eachother
Since when did Mayweather become a bad@ss?

magalini DOESNT KNOW HOW TO BLOCK PUNCHES, HE ISNT FAST ON HIS FEET, AND HE DOESNT HIT HARD ENOUGH TO STOP MAYWEATHER FROM COMING IN
lets not forget the man was OUTBOXED by a slow weight drained cotto
on top of that he DOESNT KNOW HOW TO BLOCK, he just tries to move and he doesnt even do that well
magalini would land maybe 5 jabs a round vs mayweather and those are the early rounds that mayweather is less active, mayweather would KTFO magalini the first round he started throwing shots
He's a belt holder from a Mayorga fight, and a good champion, but by no means a "bad@ss."Quote:

Pacquiao is BAD@SS.
You gotta finish them by KO or at least take on fighters with a win coming into a fight.
Haha haQuote:

Paulie just had a great fight against a not so great opponent like N'Dou, had the heart to last 12 rounds against stronger but slower Cotto and everyone is jumping on his bandwagon. He is not even a welter, Paulie is a good boxer but he has a long way to go, there is no chance in hell that he can outbox Floyd. Like I said before if N'Dou would had attacked his body non stop from the first round instead of head hunting it would had been a different story.Quote:

both guys are very hard to hit. Mallinagi got hit when he got hurt with Cotto. But man did he look very good last night. Almost unhittable at times. I think it would be a good fight of boxing skill.It wont be a death match that we saw on may 19th with Pavlik and Miranda. Personally I like a slugfest but I also like to see guys with mad skills like these two have.
As impressed as i was last night from malignaggi.. at 147 floyd has a similar style as malignaggi yet floyd is simply bigger and better..
I think hatton would have a better chance against floyd because of his work rate but i would still give pbf a 70-30 shot at winning
so are you saying that paulie would give PBF a hard time.Quote:

I've said lots of good things about Paulie's performance but wouldn't suspect him able to take Floyd.
Be more than happy to watch the fight, though!
Who's saying that Floyd is a badass?? I can't recall posting something like that. I just said that Floyd is too good for Paulie and everyone knows that. Floyd is more versatile and will figure his style in a heart beat , anyways man don't get pissed , all I said is that Floyd is too good for Paulie. Putting all bias and hatred aside just tell me if that is wrong.Quote:

Gatti is a supreme example.
The only fighter who was on a one fight winning streak was Olden Boy.
So what I'm saying is... I wouldn't be surprised if Floyd DID fight Paulie, since Floyd doesn't really fight the best. Fighting the best would mean a matchup with Cotto or Margarito. Those bad bast@rds can FIGHT and have a young Pulse. A fighter Floyd hasn't faced in Years upon years! heh
I don't think much of Paulie.... I have hope for him... but there's something very wrong about his power, haha.
So, I wouldn't be surprised of Floyd faced him in the near future.
And actually, Floyd looked horrible against Oscar. Floyd really didn't do anything for what seemed to go on forever, then he finally started to pick it up in the last rounds. You see..... "the last rounds" that's not cool. And it wasn't THAT much of a fireworks display either. You don't have to be a warrior to make fireworks as Sugar Ray Leonard proved. I saw MAJOR weaknesses in the cross-block defense of Floyd. Easy to hit, if you have a powerful jab, because he won't answer it. A powerful jab THAT Cotto actually Owns.
So unless Floyd takes on a LIVE opponent, I'm sticking to my guns.
Floyd takes on old, losing, fighters.
I shockingly agree with everything you said except Cotto's jab. He does posess a mean stiff jab but he doesn't have DLH's speed or reach.Quote:
