will JMM-Floyd live up to the hype??

[P4PChamp]

Welter is Mayweathers weight and the fight is at that weight so for the so called best fighter p4p why not fight the best fighters and challengers at that weight.

Because when you are the best fighter you don't call people out, they call you out.

Marquez called Mayweather out and Mayweather responded. And he intends to fight Pacquiao.

You can dominate a weight division and get no credit whatsoever(example Klitschko in the heavyweights)

And Mayweather was undisputed welterweight champ and got no credit because of the names he did not fight.

Sometimes it's not about where you fight but also who you fight and at the time of their career. Fighting Marquez and Pacquiao would definately mean good for his p4p status. But as you've shown he wouldn't get any credit whatsoever.

Who would he fight at 147? Berto is inexperienced, Cotto is fighting Clottey, Williams vacated his title and has moved up to around middleweight apparently, who is left for Mayweather to fight at Welterweight? Shane Mosley is the only other name.

And yet if Mosley and Pacquiao fought no one would bash Mosley for fighting "the smaller guy" would they?

its selective criticism and hate when it comes to Mayweather

Agree with your post. A lot of people just want to see Mayweather lose or be in a toe
to toe fight, you could include me in wanting to see that in the past. You are correct
in stating that if a strong Welterweight like Mosley fought Pac everyone would be cool
with that.

You are also correct that JMM called out Mayweather after his last fight with Diaz,
it wasn't Mayweather calling out JMM.

Is it just me or can't everyone see what a fraud Mayweather is being in picking a lighter weight fighter to fight at Welterweight, when there are better fights for him like Shane and Cotto and yet people are thinking this is a competitive fight. JMM has nothing to loose, Floyd is trying to big JMM up, saying he beat Manny Pac twice and so on but no mention of fighting real challengers. Floyd is a Joke.

Here's the difference I see between Mayweather Jr. and Pacquiao. Before Margarito was ko'd by Mosley Pacquiao was setting the premise to fight Margarito. After that he set the Premise to fight Cotto or Mosley. Bigger fighters with bigger reps. The man has no fear of losing or damaging his rep. Pacquiao is a true fighter.

Mayweather leaves boxing is called out by every top rated boxer in is class and comes out to face a smaller man. Why? I think because Marquez is the most hungry fighter out there where Mayweather easily bargains a bigger cut of the money and has the least risk to his legacy. Mayweather jr. is managing his boxing career.

i think it will
i'll take floyd on a ud

One thing is certain here JMM always comes in to fight just look at his career video and you'll see that.


If the fight is on the dull side it'll be because PBF decides to put on his track suit and jogging shoes.

With many fans and boxing writers mentioning the fight might possibly come out a stinker then there's really that big possibility that it will turn out a boring fight... One counterpuncher against a counterpuncher - runner ...
.

Seems like lots a people are just writing JMM out. I think he's got a shot at it. If he can pressure Mayweather but also stay smart in his defense I think he's got a really good shot. Hatton had the pressure thing right but no defense. I am deffinitly in JMM's corner for this one, would love to see Floyd get knocked to the floor, its gonna be really tuff tho!

It would also be because Marquez had no way to stop him from doing that

They both are gonna wait on each other. If Marquez comes to fight or slug with Mayweather he will be picked off. His best shot is trying to out feint and out time Mayweather. will be boring if you like all out action but great in terms of the art of boxing by both of them

Spot on Mick, PBF will be on his bike all night and probably win a defensive UD, he won't want any damage in preparation for another huge pay that awaits at the end of the year. He doesn't want to take Marquez to lightly or that pay day might not happen at all. It will be more competitive than people think.

Sorry to include PAC to the duscussion. Both JMM and PBF's EGO are inflated in this fight, they're both trying to OUTDO Pac's latest fight with Hatton. They're going to make this fight EXPLOSIVE!!!

dont argue with that

JMM has traded in the centre of the ring with the very best of them and sure as hell wont be any different if floyd gives him the chance.

But when your as quick on your feet both front and back footed and as fast handed as PBF its hard to make a case for you to stand in the centre of the ring and trade with an out an out slugger.

If JMM can invoke something in floyd that nobody has yet been able to accomplish you have to make the heavier handed guy the fave. But that in itself is gonna be one hell of a tough task!!

I don't think many people like that style of getting on your bycicle but still, its not illegal in boxing. That style seems to have gotten Mayweather where he is and he keeps winning with not a single scratch to his face and many times even knocking out his opponents. Almost like a Whitaker style but with KO power.

he won't want any damage in preparation for another huge pay that awaits at the end of the year

Either that or he'll try to beat Marquez in a convincing way to send his message back to Pac "Yes, Pac beat Hatton in 2 rounds while it took me more than that...I beat the man (Marquez) who 'beat' Pac twice in a convincing way".
