Don't bother with the Ponce fight... It was awful.. Same with the Lacy vs Manfredo fight.
Wow,was it that bad! I had the mispleasure of seeing the Lacy and Manfredo "fight". Wish I hadnt!

Avoid that fight at all costs unless you're a big fan of Ponce De Leon. He looked dreadful... it was shocking how much he was missing his punches by, you would never think he is a world champion if that was your first glimpse of him. He looked like a journeyman upsetting a decent boxer at best.

back for earlier man.
I think you were hitting the nail on the head about Mayweather vs. De La Hoya. People rarely ever give Floyd credit, it is always "the other guys stamina faded/lost confidence/changed to the wrong tactics etc..." The reason it appears like that is a testament to Floyd's skill. Against Judah, he adjusted to the southpaw style and outboxed Zab. Against Oscar he also adjusted, and Oscar had no answer... against Ricky, he simply bided his time until he felt it was time to strike, much like a lion waiting in the high grass for its prey. It can't be coincidence that fighters keep "fading in the second half" of Mayweather fights only. Floyd simply overwhelms them to the point where they are almost paralyzed and unable to let their hands go! It has happened too many times now, I can no longer say that luck is just on Floyd's side.
That is my opinion anyway.
Totally agreed my man,excellent points again. It's always had Oscar done this,had Zab done that,whereas in actual fact,it's not what they hadn't done but more what Floyd had done, ie. adapted and upped the tempo. Also,about the Ponce fight,I'm a huge fan but he blows hot and cold and I guarantee,the day he goes in against a boxer with power and good defence,he is going to be RUTHLESSLY exposed! Keep him away from Molitor!

Everyone'll now start looking to Cotto to handle Floyd.

After he beats him....who's next?

It's annoying. Last night shoulda told everyone where & what Floyd is all about.
Whilst I agree with what you said,if you don't want to see Mayweather Cotto or don't think it would be a close fight,you're crazy! I'm not going to go overboard and start saying Cotto will KTFO Mayweather etc because I actually think Mayweather would win but it would be a great fight. If Floyd hasn't got long left,he needs to give us a fight v a natural powerful WW. I don't see any other fight out there for him.

Penalosafan(sorry I can't seem to be able to quote!), I don't agree with some of your points. Whilst Hatton did well early on,again,I have the feeling it was more Floyd getting a feel for Ricky.Seeing what he has to offer. I don't think the fight exposed any major weakness in Mayweather to be honest.If he doesn't fight Cotto,then you'll see me be the first to rip him for not fighting the best fighter at WW besides him. And yeah,Cotto and Margarito are the quintessential pressure fighters at 147 along with Williams,who no-one really wants to fight.

Totally agree with Pumafan and JesseJames. Mayweather should now fight the other best WW now and definitely needs more wins to be considered a really high ATG. He is on his way.
