147 Pounds unification tournament - who is the man?

[Fenster]

I think that Pac v Floyd is too close to call really

Not really it isn't IMO i don't see why so many people are now thinking Manny Pacquiao, is a possible Floyd Mayweather Jr beater. Because he beat Ricky Hatton.

He is still the same Manny Pacquiao who had fits against JMM, in there 2nd fight a fight i think he lost. And Floyd Mayweather Jr is a better counter puncher than JMM, he is also faster with a better defense and he is also the bigger man.

Its funny almost no one on this forum thought Manny Pacquiao could even come close to beating Floyd Mayweather Jr last year, now most people think he has a legit chance its funny old game the boxing world.

As for people picking Shane Mosley over Floyd Mayweather Jr, i don't really get why Shane Mosley has always struggled against pure boxers. With a good jab and i haven't been impressed with him for along time.

Yes he beat Antonio Margarito but come on, how good was Antonio Margarito really without the loaded gloves ? i'd say he used it in the Miguel Cotto fight one of the Kermit Cintron fights, and for certain in the Sebastian Lujan fight.

Would he have got anywhere close to a title with his limited skills without cheating ? thats debatable other than that. Shane Mosley didn't look impressive against Ricardo Mayorga. Or against Miguel Cotto even though it was close, Shane Mosley didn't perform that well.

And his win over Luis Collazo has question marks over it, because Shane Mosley was losing until Luis Collazo broke his hand. So im wondering would Shane Mosley have won that easily without that incident ? i don't think so. And his fights against Fernando Vargas wern't that impressive by any means either.

Miguel Cotto and Paul Williams are the only fighters i think can beat Floyd Mayweather Jr, but now Paul Williams is doing his thing at the higher weightclasses. It looks like Miguel Cotto is the only one with a legit chance IMO.

That's because he has looked devastating against Oscar and Hatton. Hardly anyone thought he'd beat those two a year ago either.

That's the way boxing works. So now Pac-Floyd becomes a superfight.

So tough. Mosley I'm not at all convinced on. I doubt you would see him and Pac in the same ring, and I saw nothing in the first Cotto fight that makes me think Cotto won't beat him again. I think Floyd would be too quick for him.

As for Manny vs. Floyd, I still think that Floyd is too quick. I watched the Oscar fight again last night and I can't believe just how go Floyd Mayweather really is. That was a much better performance than I remember it being and I think his counter punching would end up being too good for Manny.

Floyd vs. Cotto is a quality fight and I used to believe Cotto was the only man to beat Floyd. I'm not so sure now, but I'll reserve my prediction till the fight is made.

I know its not the fight most want to see, but I think Pacquiao vs. Cotto is the closest fight of all of them. The both have the ability to adapt to the opponent during a fight and they both have their vunerabilities and both have skill in abundance. I think it would make for a cracking fight that would swing both ways. Hope it happens.

People forget that Floyd is on a whole other stratosphere. The mentioned fighters have all been shown to have flaws and weakness, where Floyd has ALWAYS showed he has the superior intellect and game plan to go with an outstanding virtuoso Boxing style than shows 0 chinks in its armor.

Not ALWAYS - he showed 'Chinks' against JLC, albeit a long time ago

Thats when he had a shoulder injury quite a bad one aswell. The rematch proved when he is 100 percent he is quite clearly better than JLC.
