    Default Prime Joel Casamayor vs. Floyd Mayweather at 130

    My Dad has said many times he thinks Casamayor could have given Floyd a good fight 130 and a run for his money.

    Casamayor was a very good defensive boxer with a fighter's mentality and he was willing to do anything to win.

    I think he could have been competitive with Mayweather, but ultimately lost a decision.

    What say you ?

    Prime Casamayor was a great fighter and a southpaw to boot, but I have a hard time picking against Mayweather. To be honest, I have no idea who would win.

    Mayweather easy! I was a big fan of Casamayor & thought he deserved the decisions against Freitas, Corrales & Castillo, but at 130 Floyd was outstanding!

    Prime of late 90's/early 2000 Casa is also badass at 130-35 intriguing match up.

    IMO Mayweather would have stopped him late, Floyd was just as smart but more aggressive and had a lot more power at 130 (or was willing to commit a lot more to his punches), he would have probably broken Casamayor systematically, jabbing upstairs then shooting that straight right to the pit of his stomach, move out then potshot with another right or two up top, Casamayor had the tools to trouble him with his defense and counterpunching but I just don't think he would have been able to deal with the movement and all around diversity of Mayweather

    Floyd had alot more power at 130? Committed more to his punches? Maybe you should stick to Badminton Forums.

    I'm not sure what part your doubting of the previous post? Mayweather went 10 wins with 7 ko's starting with the Genaro Hernandez fight

    KOs dont signify power. Ali for example sliced up many an opponent with merely sharp punches-------stoppages from cuts, or just pure exhaustion----hardly KO power punches--- and got quite a few KO wins.

    Would of been a good fight for 4-5 rounds, but would end up like alot of Floyds fights after he figures you out he wins more or less every round imo Floyd stops him around the 9th. Plus at 130lbs he had more power and throw alot more combinations which made it ever harder to beat him.

    Floyd probably would have won in a very entertaining fight but he would not stop Joel.

    Where is VD ?

    I thought surely he would come in here and weigh in as Casa was his favorite fighter.

    I think Casamayor could have really troubled Mayweather.

    But, its hard to pick Joel, knowing he was outboxed by Acelino Freitas.

    At that time Frietas was good and very powerful puncher and the fight was very close. Floyd did not punch as hard but boxed way better.

    I too thought Casamayor won the Freitas, Corrales and Castillo fights. I think his craftyness would have made it a very game 6 rounds but like other posters I think Floyd would have made adjustments throughout the fight and win a comfortable 8 rounds to 4 decision. PBF might just be the best fighter I've ever seen at being able to adjust to his opponent during the fight add that to his multi-faceted abilities and I have a real hard time picking Joel.

    apparently you need to learn a bit about boxing or actually watch Mayweather's fights, he became safety first basically from 135 onward, Floyd was plenty aggressive at 130, hell at 147 he still has better power than what most think, the thing is the guy doesn't commit to his punches, he's basically like Jones in the aspect that he COULD have ko'd a lot more of his opponents but CHOSE TO go the easy route and get a white wash win, all i ever see you post is ridiculousness
