lool i love the way each fighter steers at the other when each think's he won that round, classic fights these men had RAY,DURAN,HANGLER,HEARNS...now who do we have? manny and floyd who dont want to fight great.
Yeah Ray would beat them both. Pacquiao would be a KO victim. He'd make it exciting and fun because of his style but ultimately he would meet his demise with Ray's left hook.
Mayweather would have a better chance but he'd be at a serious size and power disadvantage. For Mayweather to beat Leonard, he'd have to be aggressive and if he does that, he could meet the same fate that Benitez met. Leonard via unamimous decision.
Hearns started this fight moving in,attacking,and Leonard,in the second half,starts persueing as Hearns starts to get tired.And hit.Hearns really should have come in a couple of pounds heavier.This is the only fight film I own.30 years ago this happened.I was 19.
@wolfstyle68 Yup, Hearns coming in underweight really was a major blunder by Manny Stewart. Ray became the slugger because he could not outbox Tommy, Hearns with the wicked jab and fearful right hand, only way to beat him was attack him and make it a street fight. Watching this fight and the 2nd fight between them, they were almost mirrors of themselves, except for the weight and slowing down of reflexes. Ray was lucky he got this win, he was down on the cards and Tommy just needed to hold.
hearns was way too big as a welter..should have been a middleweight.never liked the whole cutting weight to fight smaller men idea.hed b a nightmare for any normal sized welter in any era becos of his size speed n power
@sugarnadf I agree, with his height he makes the perfect middleweight, he matches up better against Hagler. Unfortunate he broke his hand in the Hagler fight, trying 2 rush things, if he had took his time he would hav knocked hagler out in 6 i reckon.
No way dude, no one can knock out Hagler. And Hagler would of eventually got him anyways, would of broken him down. Marvin wasn't even hurt at all by Hearns.
@XxShindouxX i dont know... hearns didn't get leonard clean much, but he did with duran and hagler, he stunned him early. its a possibility, but i think hagler would win though
ray is running from hearns as if hearns ways 220, thts what i would do if fightin a way larger opponent, but some1 whom is the same weight, just go fight em', no runnin round like a school girl who just got felt up!
@nae8man87 lol thats not running...when ray fought hagler that was the definition of running!! how ppl thought he won that fight to this day is mind boggling
@youz1uglybish LOL...go back and watch the fight today. I watched it closely and I scored the first 6 Rounds 5-1 Leonard. No way in hell Hagler won that fight and the majority of people will say that even the comments on the Video. One Judge even scored it 118-110. If Sugar Ray was fighting some run of the mill fighter it would be no contraversy...
@ThePushBravo lol man i love sugar ray leonard to death but he seriously had the judges in his back pocket! he was shoe shining hagler the whole fight i thought hagler brought the fight to leonard and landed the harder more meaningful punches! if you dont think leonard had the judges in his back pocket watch leonard hearns II ...tommy hearns all but whooped his ass and some how that was a draw! that was one of the worst decisions ever!
Suger ray, Tommy hearns, and Marvin hagler was some over sized wealter weights and light middle weights. the'll probly beat the socks off of Mayweather and the pac man. Mayweathers defence may help him a little better but for pac it would just be a slugfest and you know who would win.
Oh yea your rite about that but Sugar Ray was 5"10 and Hearns was 6"1 so we dont have many wealterweights like that today. But your rite you know boxing though.
NOT really. I agree that his offense was superior to Pacquiao but defense was not his strong point. Not to say that Mayweather is better but he is a defensive genius whether u lyk him or not.
@betaboy10 I dunno, Sugar Ray Leonard was able to put his offense and defense together beautifully, same as most of the people who were given the "Sugar" title. So Mayweather's competition is a lot weaker these days too...Leonard had to fight, Hagler, Hearns, Duran, and on multiple occasions, most of Mayweather's big fights were against 33+ opponents, De La Hoya, Castillo, Mosely. Or he was simply bigger than his opponents, that does not characterize a defensive genius to me
@betaboy10 neither of these guys have superior offense to Pacquiao. Hearns hits harder though, has a size advantage as well. Leonard has better defense too. But Pacquiao is an offensive machine lets give him his props.
@suprapower101 Well, minus a jab u may have point when referring "stylistically", but both of these men (probably becuz of their PROPER use of jabs) have a superior offense to Pacquiao. The reason Pac's looks superior is becuz today's fighters r smaller, less mobile, and less defensively skilled.
What a fantastic fight! I was just a kid when I saw this match. Leonard and Hearns are on a superior level from the rest, they are the best welters of all time with no doubt. Some say that Ray Robinson was great, but I never saw him.
@victor3422 Ray Robinson looks like a wide punching amateur compared to Leonard. He hit harder, but was slower, didn't move as well, threw wide amateurish punches that made him off-balance, and had essentially no defense.
Leonard would beat him, although Robinson had a good chin and would lose an ugly decision.
Robinson/Duran would be a good fight. Robinson hit like a mule, so he'd probably KO Duran, but it would be a great fight to watch.
@carmodifire Robinson's defense was to take punches and like it. He threw very wide punches, and was off-balance very often after throwing. He also got hit a lot. You rarely see Leonard (pre-retirement) get hit very often, or cleanly. Robinson was constantly getting hit.
Obviously, Leonard would kill him the way he fought, but it would be interesting to see if Robinson would fight that way if he were fighting guys in the 70s/80s. I think he'd adjust and improve.
@carmodifire Well, seeing as how Leonard never even got knocked down before he retired, that's a bold prediction.
I think he'd knock Robinson out with a left hook. I could see the fight being very frustrating for Robinson because his wide punches couldn't get there, all the while getting out jabbed, and hit with the right. Then, loading up, and just taking a short, perfect left from Leonard, and going down, and with his heart, getting back up but having the fight called. Who knows though?
@TA152H01 Hearns knocked Leonard down twice in the rematch. Robinson only got knocked down once, and that was when he was KO'd, in extreme heat. It was so hot, the ref collapsed first. Robinson was leading on points.
@carmodifire Read what I wrote "Before he retired". Robinson got knocked down many times, please make an effort to say informed things, instead of making up crap that only discredits your arguments. It won't fly anyway, so why even try it?
Leonard never got knocked down in his prime. After it, with the drug abuse, he went down constantly. Although, Hearns could not have hit him harder, and he wasn't seriously hurt.
at everyone who is talking about mosley and floyd, when it is'nt his fight...personally i think the guys fighting would have beat both of them at all the weights they fought in...but hey thats just my opinion.
@yaiqab, watch your generalizations with Filipinos bro. I'm Filipino and I don't eat dog, nor do any members of my large family or our community. You go fuck yourself with your stereotypes and racist tags.
Heath5511.....Mayweather Chin has been tested a few times, Mosley fight is one fight to see he has a good chin and has great recovery. U haven't seen many Mayweather fights i can tell by making that comment. Don't think Hearns would just be doing the hitting. Mayweather is one of the best counter punchers in boxing. I'm not saying Mayweather would win, but it's very possible he could win with his skill set. The point of boxing is to box, not try to just KO people.
and on the floor from great knockouts received by great southpaw middleweights! I know Hagler is way better than Sergio but still giving some props to the Maravilla
@TheKingpelu I doubt it. Leonard who stands 5'10" had trouble with Tommy even with his speed. I don't think Floyd would stand a chance against Hearns.
Leonard don't have D like Mayweather. Hearns would not be able to land o Mayweather like Hearns did on Leonard. However, Hearns jab would be to his advantage against Mayweather. That would give Mayweather problems.
@pesante5 With Tommy's reach, boxing skills and handspeed, it's virtually impossible for Hearns NOT to nail Mayweather with his Right hand. And when it does, it's good night floydie!
No way Mayweather can beat Hearns. Forget about knocking tommy out. Floyd simply does not have the punching power to do it. Mayweather would also loose on points. He'd be backing off from tommy the whole night.
Trust, it wouldn't be easy for Hearns to land of Mayweather. Mayweather is much faster than Hearns and will cause Hearns problems in endure. Hearn biggest weakness was endurance. I can see Hearn being countered the whole fight because Mayweather won't be trying to exchange with Hearns. This fight can go both ways, but no KO from either fighters. Hearns has the power to put Mayweather to sleep, but Mayweather would use his D to his advantage. If Hearns win, by UD
@pesante5 It won't be easy but it will happen. NOBODY can dodge bullets for 12 rounds.Maybe a round at the most. Tommy is "6,1" with a 78" reach. Mix that up with with awesome hand speed and he will penetrate that overrated defense of Floyd. TH went 14 rounds w/ SRL & 15 with Benitez. He kept pressing on even during these later rounds. 12 rounds w/ Floyd is no problem if it goes that long. If Floyd's knees buckled under a Moseley Right hand. What do you think a TH sledgehammer will do to him?
Overrated defense? U crazy if u really think it's overrated. Suga and Benitez don't have defense like Mayweather. Suga was like Roy Jones when it came to defense...speed and reflexes. The difference here is, Hearns was dead tired in this fight, now imagine him chasing and swing on Mayweather for 15 rounds. Mayweather also has great endurance. I've never seen Mayweather winded after a fight.
@pesante5 You really believe that defense of his will help him dodge Tommy's punches for 12 rounds? BS! Floyd doesn't have an iron chin either nor has it been tested.
Are you blind? watch the ENTIRE fight again. Hearns was NEVER tired in this fight. He was stopped because he was hurt NOT tired. So your little fantasy of mayweather wining the fight in the latter rounds just won't happen.
The point of boxing is not making it to the final round but to win..
@heath5511 lol hell ya!! mayweather doesn't ever fade in fights!!!! he always outlasts his opponent and his own jab is better than hearns. and his left hook! and mayweather can take a shot, he just rarely does cuz nobody can catch him with a shot! sure mosley knocked him off balance a little. but mayweather took a pounding from jose luis castillo in the first fight and he stood his ground.
@Vinnygil amatuer! floyd's jab is good but not great enough to control the tempo of fights or inflict facial damage.It's not fast enough, stiff enough & hard enough. Tommy has the best jab ever!He'd have tons of trouble getting inside Hearns.
Watch the fight & you'll see that mosely actually hurt floyd so being off balanced id BS! and this is from a 38 yo man! wow castillo? I'm sure his puches hurt like hell LOL!
truth is mayweather will stay off Leonard or Hearns like he avoids Pacquiao.
@Vinnygil Mayweather likes to talk to the cameras about how he can and will defeat this fighter and the next one blah blah. When you think about it, it's Pacquiao who's been doing what Floyd should have been doing 3 years ago. and that's cleaning up the welterwight division. "oh yeah i'll fight moseley now he's 38 yrs old"
If Floyd fought in the 80's he'd tell himself, "I'll stay at lightweight. I'd have a better chance against Arguello than get my ass kicked by Pryor, Duran, Leonard or Hearns"
@Vinnygil cleared the division of what? His sissy ass? How is it that mayweather-cotto or mayweather-margarito never happened? Why didn't he fight Moseley when he was younger? what about Mayweather-Pacquiao? Floyd was never really intent on taking on the best. It was all about the money and keeping his "undefeated" record clean.
Leonard & Hearns NEVER ducked anybody. That's the reason this fight happened.Floyd's lost his balls.and his heart
If you knew boxing as much as you claim you do, you'd know why Floyd vs. Cotto or Floyd vs. Margarito never happened. Floyd wanted to fight both Cotto &Hatton at 140lbs. back in '05 &Arum turned Floyd down from the Cotto fight because he did not want Floyd to ruin Cotto's young career. In the case of Hatton, Hatton's father stated that Ricky was not ready for Floyd after watching the Gatti fight. Floyd wanted to fight Margarito after Baldomir &Arum said "no". Know before you speak.
@yaiqab So why didn;t he fight both of them later genius? Why didn't he fight Moseley when he was still dangerous? hell he could have rumbled with Cotto and Margarito ass back in '07. Why didn't he unify the welterweight division. Floyd was protecting not himself but his "precious" undefeated record. Pathetic! There is still something he can do to preserve his legacy; that is if he chooses to attach his balls again.
for now he he's the chump who whimped out of his greatest challenge
When was Mosley dangerous after Forrest whooped his ass in 2001 you idiot? His career was in ruins until he beat a washed up Vargas and beat on that heavy bag Margarito. Watch the end interview of Floyd's fight against Mithcell in '06 when he calls out Mosley. Mosley responded by saying that his tooth was loose lmao. Look it up. Floyd will not fight Arum fighters because he & Arum have personal and financial issues. You know nothing about the business of boxing.
and wtf??? saying things that aren't even possible make u look pretty stupid. and when floy'd was fighting, he fought the best that was out there. opposite of pacquiao, its not manny's fault but bob arum only picks the fights that make the most money, not the best fighters. martinez and williams would have made waay better opponents than washed up margarito. he only took that easy fight to win an 8th title.pacquiao has been fighting sloppy seconds and getting way too much credit.
@primeboxers well mayweather fought hatton when he was undefeated. and before that he beat legends like genaro hernandez, diego corralez, arturo gatti, angel manfreddy (who was considered the most feared wen mayweather fought him) mayweather tore all those guys up. and the best isnt gauged by how big the other guy is. alright here this buy is one of my friends on youtube and he made a video stating our points just look up MrMBABOXING on youtube, go to his channel and the vid will explan my point
And if you need a video to convince you about something, then usually it's not true.
I see this with my own eyes, and as much as I love Mayweather; he has not deserved the P4P. He has not been P4P since 2007. Since then it was Pacquiao.
Pacquiao can be outboxed, as he was once by Morales (I) and once by Marquez (II)
Mayweather can be outpressured as he was twice against Castillo
@primeboxers well yes. you're saying that when mayweather was fighting that he was pound for pound. and now that he's left he's not. I agree. But I pick mayweather if they fight. And I do think they will fight. In late 2011 or early 2012.
@Vinnygil I would love too see him fight Martinez, but it is too soon for him to move away, he still has plenty to do at Welterweight. Most likely, he will fight Mosley in May, then perhaps Berto, and then hopefully Mayweather.
I see no way how to predict on this fight, because as you say; they haven't fought anybody like each other before.
But guys with similar skill, has given them trouble in the past, so it cannot be one-sided, nomatter who wins.
@Vinnygil I would have to pick Pacquiao though, he is definetely going to be the betting favourite.
I think he is stronger, more powerful, and faster than Floyd. I think Manny is gonna chase him around and land now and then, Floyd will land much less and try to win rounds at the end with combinations.
Pretty much like Hagler-Leonard, but Floyd has a much better defens than Leonard.
I cannot imagine Floyd hitting Manny without getting hit himself, and then the stronger guy wins.
ehhhh i think Castillo won the first fight but I have mayweather winning the second fight. And also pacquiao has never fought a defensive slick fighter in his life!!! Besides marquez who is somewhat slick, but nowhere near as slick as fighters like mayweather or even as slick as Sergio Martinez. I really want Martinez to fight Pacquiao!!! What about you??
@Vinnygil I don't even know if you understand what the hell it is you're saying.The best? who? Why did you think Pacquiao fought Margarito? Cause there was no one else to fight at welterweight The only one left is Mayweather and he's been making these silly excuses not to get it on.
These legends you're talking about; genaro hernandez, diego corralez, arturo gatti, angel manfreddy. Let's compare notes after 20 years and gatti is the only one with a remote chance of making it to the HOF.
@heath5511 what the hell ever!!!! margarito was NOT all there was to fight. Paul Williams even beat Margarito a while back. And Sergio Martinez would have made a better adversary also. dude whatever. I guess u only know boxing for the last 5 or 6 years. I've watched all of both fighters fights and I know who they've fought. and mayweather has had the tougher record. He was WBC champion a year after his pro debut also when he was 20! and he fought manfreddy when he was most feared, and hatton!
@Vinnygil Hey rookie! I've known boxing since the late 70's and I've seen them all. I've also watched the legends before that. One thing is for sure, they don't make fighters nowadays like they used to.
The greatest & toughest era in the welterweight division was the early 80's. That was when Leonard, Duran, Benitez , Pipino Cuevas & Hearns were killing each other. Compared to these fighters, Mayweather's record is a walk in the park.
@yaiqab "lol" "imao". For you think that you understand mentality as whole shows you got the brain of a stegosaurus (you know what that is?).lol?
Here's the thing dumbass: I DON'T like both Mayweather & Pacquio.As an objective boxing fan, Pacquiao has been conducting himself more like a real champ lately than Mayweather and he's proven it where it matters; inside the ring.
Inside the ring, SRL,Hearns & Duran would beat Pacman. But at least PAC has the balls of a champion like these 3 guys
Yes, a stegosaurus is what Filipinos eat, with an entree of dog. I don't understand why so-called "boxing fans" try to make what they perceive as Mayweather's and Pacquiao's conduct outside the ring as a relevant point. I don't know if SRL, Hearns, or Duran would beat Pacquiao if Pacquiao was allowed to juice like he is now. I don't think Pacquiao gets past Arguello at lightweight if he's clean, much less Aaron Pryor at 140lbs. What is all this talk about "balls"?
@yaiqab no. a stegosaurus is something you fucked last night thug. I do know your boyfriend Mayweather wouldn't beat SRL, Hearns and Duran if they were around. Oh and balls is something that's sorely missing from your body
Why are you getting so emotional lmao? I thought you was a "boxing historian"? You've shown NO KNOWLEDGE or understanding of the business of boxing, nor how fights are made. Just for you to compare Mayweather to SRL or Hearns is a great compliment to Mayweather, because Floyd is a natural 130lber. The comparison to Duran is better, and Duran never fought well against smart fighters who boxed him. He gets frustrated very easily. Floyd would outbox him.
@yaiqab You're talking to Burt Sugar Jr. here dumbass. lol. lol. Floyd would beat Duran? Floyd has good defensive skills sure but it won't be enough to save him from a beast like Duran. It's funny how Floyd's knees buckled with Mosleys right hand. That alone makes me wonder how he would have held up against Duran, Pryor & Hearns. He just doesn;t have the heart or the ability to take punches to make it a real tough fight.
You know what Wikipedia is bitch? read & learn.Oh & I don't eat dogs
It's funny how Pacquiao's knees buckled when he fought Marquez.....&Margarito.....&Morales.....etc. etc. The reason why people make such a big deal about the Floyd vs. Mosley fight is because people are not used to seeing Floyd hurt. It's a backhanded compliment again. Anytime Pac faces a fighter who can &will fight him, he gets hurt & busted up lol. Everyone knows Floyd has a great chin, and taking punches is not a show of "heart" lol. You don't eat dogs ANYMORE you mean lol.....
@yaiqab all I remember was Marquez bouncing all over the ring, Morales looking like a washed up champ & Margarito's face looking like a busted Pinata.lol lol!. A great chin? I still can't get over a 38 yo man shaking him up like that. It's too bad Moseley is old & slow to finish him off.. Pacquiao though isn't slow. lol lol!
A person who will fight PAC? Floyd's gotta prove that he want;s to Pacquiao first. lol lol! Oh & the important thing is winning not getting hurt or busted up. lol lol!
Well, when Pac-Roids signs the contract we'll see lol. Mosley knocked out Margarito, and Pacquiao got hurt against Margarito, but because Pacquiao can go 15 rounds with Margarito, it was a "great victory". Maybe you should get the dog head off the dinner table and re-watch that first fight between Pac & Morales. He was bouncing Pacquiao off the ropes. All this was pre-roids of course. Now, when Mayweather beats on a steroid free Pacquiao, I don't want to hear any excuses.
@yaiqab I'm more of a Moseley fan but honestly I think this fight with Pacquiao will end up badly for him. The nigger head is on the dinner table right now and I don;t see Pacquiao getting knocked down the way Marquez was, you seems to fond of dogs. you've sleeped with & fucked one too. Are you Michael Vick or what?
@heath5511 dude EVERYBODY talks about how shane "buckled mayweathers knees" dude!!!! Go back watch the fight and he simply got knocked off balance, it wasn't even that great. It was like for a split second and then it was over! People bring that up all the time!!!! but its a stupid point and that kind of thing happens all the time in boxing. I mean look at marquez!!!!! He falls down it ALOT of his fights and people don't talk about it as much as when shane shook floyd a tiny bit!!!!
@Vinnygil You really are an amateur vincent! Moseley hurt him TWICE in the 2nd rnd (@ 2:06 & 1:15 remaining). You know how I know he was hurt? he wasn't throwing punches when he got nailed and he was obviously locking Moseley's arms to stop him from punching. You can tell from his legs. Watch in slow motion!
It's a big deal because a) FM wasn't suppose to get nailed by slow 39YO fighter & b) If he had a great chin, he should have shrugged it off. How'd you think he'd stand up to a Hearns right?
@heath5511 -slow 39 year old?first off he was actually 38 n the guy mayweather supposedly ducked but when he actually fights him then the excuse of oh hes old no wonder mayweather beat him,typical bias comment.n r u telling me the punches mosley landed in 2nd round wer slow,mosley is known for his speed n power? u shud stop watching slow motion replays n watch it real time.n obvioulsy he did shrug it off if he won evry other round after that lol..n also mosley ko ratio is as good as hearns
Mosley wasn't slow by any means but compared to the Mosley of 10 years ago, yes he was very slow. Many people were saying that Mosley would whoop Floyd then they said he was old when he lost. I have been saying that I though Shane was old for the past few years. Not that he is so old and past his prime that he should retire but he is visably slower to me than he was back in the day both in hand speed and reaction. The only way SM beats FM is by ko and I didn't think he would land enough.
@JcLeopard - i agree,mosley wud never have beat may on points if he ever did it wud b by ko of some sort n yes mosley at light weight was faster but no welter or light middle version of mosley wud have beaten floyd imo.
also mayweather was faster back then and through combos better
@FIGHTFANNERD3 There were talking about how people said that Floyd was ducking Shane and when Floyd won people used the excuse that he was old. I was stating that I personally though that Mosley was past his prime before that fight. I felt that Mosleys only chance of winning was to land a big punch and then finish Floyd but he was unable to pull the trigger once he had hurt Mayweather. I was saying that I didn't think he would be able to at his age but a younger Shane would have a better chance.
dude you are filipino and small so obviously you have a little man concept. calling me "rookie" u don't argue like a man, with respect, u argue like a child, throwing in name calling when someone else starts to make good points that knock yours out of the air.
@Vinnygil have you ever been anywhere outside the barrio or ghetto? not all filipinos are small dork! But there are some filipinos who can keep up an argument with morons like you forever. In English
you're points don't make sense. That's all right but stop pretending you know a lot about boxing..
@Vinnygil manfreddy may been the most feared during the time he faced mayweather but it's floyd's nature to take fights he knows he can win.
If hatton did not fight pacquiao, we can all conclude that he was a tough fight for Floyd. I really DID thought hatton was tough. But seriously, a KO in the 2nd rnd against pacquio? wtf?
There's a book "4 kings" about duran, leonard, hearns & hagler. about last great era in boxing. floyd's "tough" records fails to qualify as even a footnote to this book.
@heath5511 dude hatton didn't follow his game in his fight against pacquiao. AND pacquiao really has only taken fights he knows he can win since de la hoya.
@Vinnygil what's his gameplan? not get hit? BS! He and Floyd Sr. knew he was going to get tagged one way or another. What surprised me is how he could NOT take Pacquiao's punches. And this wasn;t a lucky punch either. He knocked down twice. Pacquiao exposed him as a dud.
What's funny is Mayweather thought beating hatton was like climbing Mount Everest
Pacquiao beat the best competition of his generation.Those who are willing to fight him anyway & not content w/ just talking about it
@heath5511 mayweather did it first. And if u call Clottey and Margarito the competition of this generation then u have a weird point of view. dude I like all fighters I like boxing. I think Mayweather is better than Pacquiao and that's that. I think pacquiao is 2nd best and I think that He should fight sergio martinez who just KO'd Paul Williams. I think that's the opponent who's best for him, maybe not money wise but skill and power wise. And pacquiao's record isn't as good as mayweathers.
@Vinnygil I'm not a Pacquiao fan but to his credit, when it's all said & done; he can say "i beat cotto, margarito, hatton dela hoya etc.& but floyd kept ducking me". while FH will keep saying " I would have beaten pacquiao , Cotto, etc" Looser.
To mention Mayweather's name along with Leonard or Hearns is stupid. SRL & TH NEVER ducked anybody.& both had skill levels way above him. There's a difference between liking boxing & knowing boxing. you obviously don't know jackshit
@heath5511 lol ok. then i guess u don't know jack shit either. Pacquiao and Mayweather will fight. and then u'll have nothing to say. Mayweather fought more champions than Pacquiao. Mayweather: Genaro Hernandez, Corallez, Gatti, Hatton, Marquez, De la hoya, Judah, Mosley. He defended the WBC super featherweight title 9x!! He was fighting the best out there when he was out there and the competition ran out so he retired. Now this pac shit comes along and gets all these sloppy seconds.
@Vinnygil hey faggot the point is Mayweather's best competition is till out there and ready to fight him. But for some reason he just keep coming up with these excuses how he would beat pacquiao but never let's his gloves do the talking.
I do know "jackshit" dumb fuck!! And i'm tired of arguing with you. And Cotto said before the Gatti fight that he wanted the winner. After Mayweather destroyed Gatti, there was only silence from camp Cotto!!!! Cotto had his chance, he got scared.
@Vinnygil Yes butt pirate you DON't know jack ass shit. Why'd Floyd retire instead of fighting Margarito and COtto back in '07? Cause they got better that's why! Why'd he fight Moseley when he was old? Cause he was still dangerous when he was younger! I used to like FLoyd more so than Pacquiao. But he acting like a pussy instead of being a fighter is pissingly irritating!
@heath5511 well now pacquiao is fighting mosley!!!! wow now what??? I do know jack shit man. why didn't pacquiao fight marquez a 3rd time after their 2nd fight? And Mayweather tried to fight mosley back in like 04 or 05. And as ive said. Cotto said he wanted the winner of the gatti vs mayweather fight and then he fucking chickened out when mayweather destroyed gatti. I'm pissed at both mayweather and pacquiao. They're both fucking chumps.
@Vinnygil Yes you still don't know jackshit pussy.Pacman is fighting Moseley because Mayweather won't! I I'm sure cotto won't refuse money on the table to fight somebody who can beat you but not hurt you.
I'm NOT a fan of both Mayweather & Pacquiao but Pacman been the one acting like the champ inside the ring & out.
Leonard & Hearns are the 2 best welterweights of all time! to think that Mayweather can beat either of them is just plain stupid. He's just not in the same league
@Vinnygil hey cretino, stupido! pac is fighting Moseley because mayweather doesn't want to fight him (pacquiao). Do you understand english? I thought you lived in the US?
@heath5511 Who said I live in the U.S. And if Americans act like you do they're fucking childish dicks!! Try to have an adult argument and you call me a butt pirate! Fuck you man! Go to hell. You don't know shit. This is your master signing out. lol I feel sorry for anyone who marry's you.
@Vinnygil well stupid, your profile says you are from the US. But judging from your speech pattern you're either not living in the US or staying there illegally. Your English trips a lot.
master? right. way to go amateur. Go Fuck yourself! HARD. I'm sorry for the people who even know you
@heath5511 That's all u got??? lol english is my first and only language and it doesn't "trip" or "blow" I'll even send u a video of me making fun of your dumb ass if u like. well come to think of it , that would be a complete waste of time and since i won the argument about boxing,u being a subject-changing coward and not having anything else to say, u resorted to making fun of my "english" which is the only language that i speak. so it would be a compete waste of time since i already won. cunt
Most of these Filipino males are bisexual or the products of pedophilia. Southeast Asia is reknowned as a place that pedophiles go to. Within a few verbal exchanges, these Filipino "fight fans" are always mentioning balls and penises.
@yaiqab hhmm i'm trying to get a fix on you and it seems you are some street thug who like hip hop which explains why he you are angry all the time. I am definitely about one thing; your knowledge about boxing is absolutely worth DICK. Oh and balls is another word for Guts.
No sir, you are using the words" dick" and "balls" in your vernacular because you have latent homosexual tendencies, which I've noticed amongst the vast majority of you Filipino males since Pacquiao has risen to prominence. Once he goes away, you all will go away. Deep down, you guys don't want Floyd to fight Pacquiao. It's all an act. Pacquiao makes you guys feel tougher than a black man lol. Don't worry. We all know it's internet thuggery.
@yaiqab it's obvious that everything you know comes from the same group of THUGS you hang out with. Try and do some research or try and get out of the ghetto and travel, NIGGER! Dogs are rarely served as meals in Philippine homes so yo won't find them in restaurants either. I haven;t eaten dogs in spite of your stupid subconcious telling you that I do.
Put yourself on the line. What's your race faggot? Let's play bashing each others heritage. If you can handle it BITCH.
@yaiqab lol lol! it takes one to know one, Since you think you've "exposed" me. then it's safe to say that a transvestite like you can smell your own kind lol lol! BUSTED!
Deep down,we love the best fight out there & we can't wait for Pacquiao-Mayweather to happen.That is if a "tough" black man like Floyd stops being a PUSSY like you.lol lol!
Internet thuggery starts whenever YOU, your brotha Kanye West or any member of the Mayweather family is online. BITCH. lol lol!
Lol, what are you talking about "Sugar Ray never ducked anybody"?? He "ducked" Aaron Pryor, he "ducked" Hagler for 6 years, he "ducked" Hearns for the rematch, and he "ducked" Duran for the rematch. I put "ducked" in quotes because for simple-minded fans, they forget that boxing is a BUSINESS. Businessmen like Sugar Ray & Floyd know that you DO NOT step in the ring and put your life on the line for a single penny less than what you're worth. That's why Pac will be broke in the end.
@yaiqab Here are some facts junior. It's Pryor who has to move up to welterweight & challenge SRL. He fought Hagler when he was still dangerous & INACTIVE for 2 years. He fought HEarns again in 1989 stupid.He fought Duran 2 more times dumbass.
Hagler, Hearns, Duran & Pacquiao=warriors;
SRL=fighter/ bussinessman;
FLoyd Mayweather=bussinessman/ celebirty
SRL fought the great fighters of his era at least once. These fights are now legends which boxing fans still continue to watch & talk about
Pryor was ready to move up to 147 to fight SRL you idiot lol. SRL fought Hagler after he believed that Hagler was slowing down &weakening after his wars with Hearns &Mugabi. Those are Ray's words, not mine. Duran gave SRL the rematch in 1980, not Leonard lmao. SRL gave Hearns &Duran rematches in '89 because those were money fights. Pacquiao has avoided every fighter with a slick style, even ducking Foreman for the 154lb title, while accepting the fight with Margarito. I wonder why?
@yaiqab Being ready to move up to 147 & actually doing it are 2 different things pea brain! If you know boxing; the heavier fighter does not go down one division and challenge the champion. I agree w/ you on the Hagler fight & the outcome but STILL SRL had the BALLS to rumble with the champ even w/ 3 years off. That makes them EVEN. Who gave who the rematch is pointless moron! the point is that you fought the best competition of your generation before you retire. Then you have nothing to prove.
For the last time you idiot, Pryor chased SRL around and was ready to move to 147 to fight Ray for a big payday. He didn't do so because Ray DID NOT ACCEPT. SRL had to fight Hagler because he wanted the middleweight belt and it was a BIG MONEY FIGHT. Who gave who the rematch is the point because SRL WOULD NOT give rematches to any great fighters unless it was an absolute last resort and for a big payday. I see you dropped your uninformed Shane Mosley argument lol. Idiot....
@yaiqab Oh hell faggot, ready?. You gotta negotiate for the fight first pea brain.Pryor was already messed up after the Arguello rematch he didn't bother moving up to 147. He still fought Hagler even with the odds against him. period.
Real fight fans (excluding you) talk about Leonard-Duran 1-3, Leonard-Hearns 1 & 2 and Leonard Hagler. Mayweather-Pacquiao will happen when Floyd stops being a PUSSY. He's to afraid to loose. Real fighter put themselves on the line even when the chips are down.
Ther could be no negotiation for the fight when Leonard would no accept Pryor's challenge lol. Aaron was literally chasing him from press conference to press conference. I don't understand why you cannot understand this. Mind you, I have no problem with Ray not fighting him. The risk was not worth the reward. Mayweather has signed the contract to fight Pacquiao since September you idiot. Manny is the one who will not sign because he does not want to take the $30mil drug/blood test.
@pesante5 Geez, there is no comparison between the punching power of hearns & mosely. Tommy's power is badass enough to knockout middleweights & light heavyweights. As a welterweight; it was terrifying. Box? Watch & learn from this fight. NOBODY outboxed Ray Leonard the way Hearns did. Ray Leonard! Tommy only got hurt in round 14 which us why he lost but he totally dominated SRL on the scorecards. But you know what? this fight won't happen. Floyd will have too many excuses to avoid Hearns.
the commenters made a statement saying that sugar wasnt returning punches, sugar is trying to pick hearns apart by staying on the outside and opening him up with jabs, but is having a hard time because hearns has a substantial reach advantage and he is using the hitman style which creates a even longer jab, this must have been a frustrating fight for leonard
@ChillPill365 I agree, as Larry merchant would say "this is world class stuff", I couldnt imagine seeing this live, even now watchin this in 2010 this shit is intense

Yeah Ray would beat them both. Pacquiao would be a KO victim. He'd make it exciting and fun because of his style but ultimately he would meet his demise with Ray's left hook.
Mayweather would have a better chance but he'd be at a serious size and power disadvantage. For Mayweather to beat Leonard, he'd have to be aggressive and if he does that, he could meet the same fate that Benitez met. Leonard via unamimous decision.

@wolfstyle68 Yup, Hearns coming in underweight really was a major blunder by Manny Stewart. Ray became the slugger because he could not outbox Tommy, Hearns with the wicked jab and fearful right hand, only way to beat him was attack him and make it a street fight. Watching this fight and the 2nd fight between them, they were almost mirrors of themselves, except for the weight and slowing down of reflexes. Ray was lucky he got this win, he was down on the cards and Tommy just needed to hold.

betaboy10 8 months ago
@betaboy10 I dunno, Sugar Ray Leonard was able to put his offense and defense together beautifully, same as most of the people who were given the "Sugar" title. So Mayweather's competition is a lot weaker these days too...Leonard had to fight, Hagler, Hearns, Duran, and on multiple occasions, most of Mayweather's big fights were against 33+ opponents, De La Hoya, Castillo, Mosely. Or he was simply bigger than his opponents, that does not characterize a defensive genius to me

@betaboy10 neither of these guys have superior offense to Pacquiao. Hearns hits harder though, has a size advantage as well. Leonard has better defense too. But Pacquiao is an offensive machine lets give him his props.
suprapower101 4 months ago
@suprapower101 Well, minus a jab u may have point when referring "stylistically", but both of these men (probably becuz of their PROPER use of jabs) have a superior offense to Pacquiao. The reason Pac's looks superior is becuz today's fighters r smaller, less mobile, and less defensively skilled.
JDezi4 4 months ago in playlist Leonard vs Hearns
What a fantastic fight! I was just a kid when I saw this match. Leonard and Hearns are on a superior level from the rest, they are the best welters of all time with no doubt. Some say that Ray Robinson was great, but I never saw him.
victor3422 8 months ago
@victor3422 Ray Robinson looks like a wide punching amateur compared to Leonard. He hit harder, but was slower, didn't move as well, threw wide amateurish punches that made him off-balance, and had essentially no defense.
Leonard would beat him, although Robinson had a good chin and would lose an ugly decision.
Robinson/Duran would be a good fight. Robinson hit like a mule, so he'd probably KO Duran, but it would be a great fight to watch.
TA152H01 7 months ago
@TA152H01 robinson's movement when he attacked was defense. he attacked and could dodge counters.

carmodifire 6 months ago
@carmodifire Robinson's defense was to take punches and like it. He threw very wide punches, and was off-balance very often after throwing. He also got hit a lot. You rarely see Leonard (pre-retirement) get hit very often, or cleanly. Robinson was constantly getting hit.
Obviously, Leonard would kill him the way he fought, but it would be interesting to see if Robinson would fight that way if he were fighting guys in the 70s/80s. I think he'd adjust and improve.
TA152H01 6 months ago
@TA152H01 It depends on which version of robinson it was. I think that Robinson vs LaMotta 6 version would KO Leonard
carmodifire 6 months ago
@carmodifire Well, seeing as how Leonard never even got knocked down before he retired, that's a bold prediction.
I think he'd knock Robinson out with a left hook. I could see the fight being very frustrating for Robinson because his wide punches couldn't get there, all the while getting out jabbed, and hit with the right. Then, loading up, and just taking a short, perfect left from Leonard, and going down, and with his heart, getting back up but having the fight called. Who knows though?
TA152H01 6 months ago
@TA152H01 Hearns knocked Leonard down twice in the rematch. Robinson only got knocked down once, and that was when he was KO'd, in extreme heat. It was so hot, the ref collapsed first. Robinson was leading on points.
carmodifire 6 months ago
@carmodifire Read what I wrote "Before he retired". Robinson got knocked down many times, please make an effort to say informed things, instead of making up crap that only discredits your arguments. It won't fly anyway, so why even try it?
Leonard never got knocked down in his prime. After it, with the drug abuse, he went down constantly. Although, Hearns could not have hit him harder, and he wasn't seriously hurt.

I'm not saying Mayweather would win, but it's very possible he could win with his skill set. The point of boxing is to box, not try to just KO people.

@pesante5 With Tommy's reach, boxing skills and handspeed, it's virtually impossible for Hearns NOT to nail Mayweather with his Right hand. And when it does, it's good night floydie!
No way Mayweather can beat Hearns. Forget about knocking tommy out. Floyd simply does not have the punching power to do it. Mayweather would also loose on points. He'd be backing off from tommy the whole night.
heath5511 1 year ago
Trust, it wouldn't be easy for Hearns to land of Mayweather. Mayweather is much faster than Hearns and will cause Hearns problems in endure. Hearn biggest weakness was endurance. I can see Hearn being countered the whole fight because Mayweather won't be trying to exchange with Hearns. This fight can go both ways, but no KO from either fighters. Hearns has the power to put Mayweather to sleep, but Mayweather would use his D to his advantage. If Hearns win, by UD
pesante5 1 year ago
@pesante5 It won't be easy but it will happen. NOBODY can dodge bullets for 12 rounds.Maybe a round at the most. Tommy is "6,1" with a 78" reach. Mix that up with with awesome hand speed and he will penetrate that overrated defense of Floyd. TH went 14 rounds w/ SRL & 15 with Benitez. He kept pressing on even during these later rounds. 12 rounds w/ Floyd is no problem if it goes that long. If Floyd's knees buckled under a Moseley Right hand. What do you think a TH sledgehammer will do to him?
heath5511 1 year ago
Overrated defense? U crazy if u really think it's overrated. Suga and Benitez don't have defense like Mayweather. Suga was like Roy Jones when it came to defense...speed and reflexes. The difference here is, Hearns was dead tired in this fight, now imagine him chasing and swing on Mayweather for 15 rounds. Mayweather also has great endurance. I've never seen Mayweather winded after a fight.
pesante5 1 year ago
@pesante5 You really believe that defense of his will help him dodge Tommy's punches for 12 rounds? BS! Floyd doesn't have an iron chin either nor has it been tested.
Are you blind? watch the ENTIRE fight again. Hearns was NEVER tired in this fight. He was stopped because he was hurt NOT tired. So your little fantasy of mayweather wining the fight in the latter rounds just won't happen.
The point of boxing is not making it to the final round but to win..
heath5511 1 year ago
@heath5511 lol hell ya!! mayweather doesn't ever fade in fights!!!! he always outlasts his opponent and his own jab is better than hearns. and his left hook! and mayweather can take a shot, he just rarely does cuz nobody can catch him with a shot! sure mosley knocked him off balance a little. but mayweather took a pounding from jose luis castillo in the first fight and he stood his ground.
Vinnygil 1 year ago
@Vinnygil amatuer! floyd's jab is good but not great enough to control the tempo of fights or inflict facial damage.It's not fast enough, stiff enough & hard enough. Tommy has the best jab ever!He'd have tons of trouble getting inside Hearns.
Watch the fight & you'll see that mosely actually hurt floyd so being off balanced id BS! and this is from a 38 yo man! wow castillo? I'm sure his puches hurt like hell LOL!
truth is mayweather will stay off Leonard or Hearns like he avoids Pacquiao.
heath5511 1 year ago
@Vinnygil Mayweather likes to talk to the cameras about how he can and will defeat this fighter and the next one blah blah. When you think about it, it's Pacquiao who's been doing what Floyd should have been doing 3 years ago. and that's cleaning up the welterwight division. "oh yeah i'll fight moseley now he's 38 yrs old"
If Floyd fought in the 80's he'd tell himself, "I'll stay at lightweight. I'd have a better chance against Arguello than get my ass kicked by Pryor, Duran, Leonard or Hearns"
heath5511 1 year ago
@heath5511 well u see. when mayweather left the division had been cleared by mayweather. that's why he retired in the first place.

Why didn't he fight Moseley when he was younger? what about Mayweather-Pacquiao? Floyd was never really intent on taking on the best. It was all about the money and keeping his "undefeated" record clean.
Leonard & Hearns NEVER ducked anybody. That's the reason this fight happened.Floyd's lost his balls.and his heart
heath5511 1 year ago
@heath5511
If you knew boxing as much as you claim you do, you'd know why Floyd vs. Cotto or Floyd vs. Margarito never happened. Floyd wanted to fight both Cotto &Hatton at 140lbs. back in '05 &Arum turned Floyd down from the Cotto fight because he did not want Floyd to ruin Cotto's young career. In the case of Hatton, Hatton's father stated that Ricky was not ready for Floyd after watching the Gatti fight. Floyd wanted to fight Margarito after Baldomir &Arum said "no". Know before you speak.

@yaiqab So why didn;t he fight both of them later genius? Why didn't he fight Moseley when he was still dangerous? hell he could have rumbled with Cotto and Margarito ass back in '07. Why didn't he unify the welterweight division. Floyd was protecting not himself but his "precious" undefeated record. Pathetic! There is still something he can do to preserve his legacy; that is if he chooses to attach his balls again.
for now he he's the chump who whimped out of his greatest challenge

When was Mosley dangerous after Forrest whooped his ass in 2001 you idiot? His career was in ruins until he beat a washed up Vargas and beat on that heavy bag Margarito. Watch the end interview of Floyd's fight against Mithcell in '06 when he calls out Mosley. Mosley responded by saying that his tooth was loose lmao. Look it up. Floyd will not fight Arum fighters because he & Arum have personal and financial issues. You know nothing about the business of boxing.

@Vinnygil Hatton was never any good!
And if you need a video to convince you about something, then usually it's not true.
I see this with my own eyes, and as much as I love Mayweather; he has not deserved the P4P. He has not been P4P since 2007. Since then it was Pacquiao.
Pacquiao can be outboxed, as he was once by Morales (I) and once by Marquez (II)
Mayweather can be outpressured as he was twice against Castillo
Win or loose, they showed weaknesses
Both have improved since then though

@primeboxers well yes. you're saying that when mayweather was fighting that he was pound for pound. and now that he's left he's not. I agree. But I pick mayweather if they fight. And I do think they will fight. In late 2011 or early 2012.

@Vinnygil I would love too see him fight Martinez, but it is too soon for him to move away, he still has plenty to do at Welterweight. Most likely, he will fight Mosley in May, then perhaps Berto, and then hopefully Mayweather.
I see no way how to predict on this fight, because as you say; they haven't fought anybody like each other before.
But guys with similar skill, has given them trouble in the past, so it cannot be one-sided, nomatter who wins.
primeboxers 1 year ago
@Vinnygil I would have to pick Pacquiao though, he is definetely going to be the betting favourite.
I think he is stronger, more powerful, and faster than Floyd. I think Manny is gonna chase him around and land now and then, Floyd will land much less and try to win rounds at the end with combinations.
Pretty much like Hagler-Leonard, but Floyd has a much better defens than Leonard.
I cannot imagine Floyd hitting Manny without getting hit himself, and then the stronger guy wins.
UD Pacquiao

ehhhh i think Castillo won the first fight but I have mayweather winning the second fight. And also pacquiao has never fought a defensive slick fighter in his life!!!

@Vinnygil I don't even know if you understand what the hell it is you're saying.The best? who? Why did you think Pacquiao fought Margarito? Cause there was no one else to fight at welterweight The only one left is Mayweather and he's been making these silly excuses not to get it on.
These legends you're talking about; genaro hernandez, diego corralez, arturo gatti, angel manfreddy. Let's compare notes after 20 years and gatti is the only one with a remote chance of making it to the HOF.

@heath5511 what the hell ever!!!! margarito was NOT all there was to fight. Paul Williams even beat Margarito a while back. And Sergio Martinez would have made a better adversary also. dude whatever.

The greatest & toughest era in the welterweight division was the early 80's. That was when Leonard, Duran, Benitez , Pipino Cuevas & Hearns were killing each other. Compared to these fighters, Mayweather's record is a walk in the park.
You're talking to Burt Sugar Jr. here rookie.

@yaiqab "lol" "imao". For you think that you understand mentality as whole shows you got the brain of a stegosaurus (you know what that is?).lol?
Here's the thing dumbass: I DON'T like both Mayweather & Pacquio.As an objective boxing fan, Pacquiao has been conducting himself more like a real champ lately than Mayweather and he's proven it where it matters; inside the ring.
Inside the ring, SRL,Hearns & Duran would beat Pacman. But at least PAC has the balls of a champion like these 3 guys
heath5511 1 year ago
@heath5511
Yes, a stegosaurus is what Filipinos eat, with an entree of dog. I don't understand why so-called "boxing fans" try to make what they perceive as Mayweather's and Pacquiao's conduct outside the ring as a relevant point. I don't know if SRL, Hearns, or Duran would beat Pacquiao if Pacquiao was allowed to juice like he is now. I don't think Pacquiao gets past Arguello at lightweight if he's clean, much less Aaron Pryor at 140lbs. What is all this talk about "balls"?

@yaiqab no. a stegosaurus is something you fucked last night thug. I do know your boyfriend Mayweather wouldn't beat SRL, Hearns and Duran if they were around. Oh and balls is something that's sorely missing from your body

@heath5511
Why are you getting so emotional lmao? I thought you was a "boxing historian"? You've shown NO KNOWLEDGE or understanding of the business of boxing, nor how fights are made. Just for you to compare Mayweather to SRL or Hearns is a great compliment to Mayweather, because Floyd is a natural 130lber. The comparison to Duran is better, and Duran never fought well against smart fighters who boxed him. He gets frustrated very easily. Floyd would outbox him.
yaiqab 1 year ago
@yaiqab You're talking to Burt Sugar Jr. here dumbass. lol. lol. Floyd would beat Duran? Floyd has good defensive skills sure but it won't be enough to save him from a beast like Duran. It's funny how Floyd's knees buckled with Mosleys right hand. That alone makes me wonder how he would have held up against Duran, Pryor & Hearns. He just doesn;t have the heart or the ability to take punches to make it a real tough fight.
You know what Wikipedia is bitch? read & learn.Oh & I don't eat dogs
heath5511 1 year ago
@heath5511
It's funny how Pacquiao's knees buckled when he fought Marquez.....&Margarito.....&Morales.....etc. etc. The reason why people make such a big deal about the Floyd vs. Mosley fight is because people are not used to seeing Floyd hurt. It's a backhanded compliment again. Anytime Pac faces a fighter who can &will fight him, he gets hurt & busted up lol. Everyone knows Floyd has a great chin, and taking punches is not a show of "heart" lol. You don't eat dogs ANYMORE you mean lol.....
yaiqab 1 year ago
@yaiqab all I remember was Marquez bouncing all over the ring, Morales looking like a washed up champ & Margarito's face looking like a busted Pinata.lol lol!. A great chin? I still can't get over a 38 yo man shaking him up like that. It's too bad Moseley is old & slow to finish him off.. Pacquiao though isn't slow. lol lol!
A person who will fight PAC? Floyd's gotta prove that he want;s to Pacquiao first. lol lol! Oh & the important thing is winning not getting hurt or busted up. lol lol!
heath5511 1 year ago
@heath5511
Well, when Pac-Roids signs the contract we'll see lol. Mosley knocked out Margarito, and Pacquiao got hurt against Margarito, but because Pacquiao can go 15 rounds with Margarito, it was a "great victory". Maybe you should get the dog head off the dinner table and re-watch that first fight between Pac & Morales. He was bouncing Pacquiao off the ropes. All this was pre-roids of course. Now, when Mayweather beats on a steroid free Pacquiao, I don't want to hear any excuses.
yaiqab 1 year ago
@yaiqab I'm more of a Moseley fan but honestly I think this fight with Pacquiao will end up badly for him. The nigger head is on the dinner table right now and I don;t see Pacquiao getting knocked down the way Marquez was, you seems to fond of dogs. you've sleeped with & fucked one too. Are you Michael Vick or what?
heath5511 1 year ago
@heath5511 dude EVERYBODY talks about how shane "buckled mayweathers knees" dude!!!! Go back watch the fight and he simply got knocked off balance, it wasn't even that great. It was like for a split second and then it was over! People bring that up all the time!!!! but its a stupid point and that kind of thing happens all the time in boxing. I mean look at marquez!!!!! He falls down it ALOT of his fights and people don't talk about it as much as when shane shook floyd a tiny bit!!!!
Vinnygil 1 year ago
@Vinnygil You really are an amateur vincent! Moseley hurt him TWICE in the 2nd rnd (@ 2:06 & 1:15 remaining). You know how I know he was hurt? he wasn't throwing punches when he got nailed and he was obviously locking Moseley's arms to stop him from punching. You can tell from his legs. Watch in slow motion!
It's a big deal because a) FM wasn't suppose to get nailed by slow 39YO fighter & b) If he had a great chin, he should have shrugged it off. How'd you think he'd stand up to a Hearns right?
heath5511 1 year ago
@heath5511 -slow 39 year old?first off he was actually 38 n the guy mayweather supposedly ducked but when he actually fights him then the excuse of oh hes old no wonder mayweather beat him,typical bias comment.n r u telling me the punches mosley landed in 2nd round wer slow,mosley is known for his speed n power? u shud stop watching slow motion replays n watch it real time.n obvioulsy he did shrug it off if he won evry other round after that lol..n also mosley ko ratio is as good as hearns
sugarnadf 1 year ago
Mosley wasn't slow by any means but compared to the Mosley of 10 years ago, yes he was very slow. Many people were saying that Mosley would whoop Floyd then they said he was old when he lost. I have been saying that I though Shane was old for the past few years. Not that he is so old and past his prime that he should retire but he is visably slower to me than he was back in the day both in hand speed and reaction. The only way SM beats FM is by ko and I didn't think he would land enough.
JcLeopard 11 months ago
@JcLeopard - i agree,mosley wud never have beat may on points if he ever did it wud b by ko of some sort n yes mosley at light weight was faster but no welter or light middle version of mosley wud have beaten floyd imo.
also mayweather was faster back then and through combos better

@FIGHTFANNERD3 There were talking about how people said that Floyd was ducking Shane and when Floyd won people used the excuse that he was old. I was stating that I personally though that Mosley was past his prime before that fight. I felt that Mosleys only chance of winning was to land a big punch and then finish Floyd but he was unable to pull the trigger once he had hurt Mayweather. I was saying that I didn't think he would be able to at his age but a younger Shane would have a better chance.

@Vinnygil manfreddy may been the most feared during the time he faced mayweather but it's floyd's nature to take fights he knows he can win.
If hatton did not fight pacquiao, we can all conclude that he was a tough fight for Floyd. I really DID thought hatton was tough. But seriously, a KO in the 2nd rnd against pacquio? wtf?
There's a book "4 kings" about duran, leonard, hearns & hagler. about last great era in boxing. floyd's "tough" records fails to qualify as even a footnote to this book.

@heath5511 dude hatton didn't follow his game in his fight against pacquiao. AND pacquiao really has only taken fights he knows he can win since de la hoya.

@Vinnygil what's his gameplan? not get hit? BS! He and Floyd Sr. knew he was going to get tagged one way or another. What surprised me is how he could NOT take Pacquiao's punches. And this wasn;t a lucky punch either. He knocked down twice. Pacquiao exposed him as a dud.
What's funny is Mayweather thought beating hatton was like climbing Mount Everest
Pacquiao beat the best competition of his generation.Those who are willing to fight him anyway & not content w/ just talking about it
heath5511 1 year ago
@heath5511 mayweather did it first. And if u call Clottey and Margarito the competition of this generation then u have a weird point of view. dude I like all fighters I like boxing. I think Mayweather is better than Pacquiao and that's that. I think pacquiao is 2nd best and I think that He should fight sergio martinez who just KO'd Paul Williams. I think that's the opponent who's best for him, maybe not money wise but skill and power wise. And pacquiao's record isn't as good as mayweathers.
Vinnygil 1 year ago
@Vinnygil I'm not a Pacquiao fan but to his credit, when it's all said & done; he can say "i beat cotto, margarito, hatton dela hoya etc.& but floyd kept ducking me". while FH will keep saying " I would have beaten pacquiao , Cotto, etc" Looser.
To mention Mayweather's name along with Leonard or Hearns is stupid. SRL & TH NEVER ducked anybody.& both had skill levels way above him. There's a difference between liking boxing & knowing boxing. you obviously don't know jackshit
heath5511 1 year ago
@heath5511 lol ok. then i guess u don't know jack shit either. Pacquiao and Mayweather will fight. and then u'll have nothing to say. Mayweather fought more champions than Pacquiao. Mayweather: Genaro Hernandez, Corallez, Gatti, Hatton, Marquez, De la hoya, Judah, Mosley. He defended the WBC super featherweight title 9x!! He was fighting the best out there when he was out there and the competition ran out so he retired. Now this pac shit comes along and gets all these sloppy seconds.

@Vinnygil Yes butt pirate you DON't know jack ass shit. Why'd Floyd retire instead of fighting Margarito and COtto back in '07? Cause they got better that's why! Why'd he fight Moseley when he was old? Cause he was still dangerous when he was younger! I used to like FLoyd more so than Pacquiao. But he acting like a pussy instead of being a fighter is pissingly irritating!
heath5511 1 year ago
@heath5511 well now pacquiao is fighting mosley!!!! wow now what??? I do know jack shit man. why didn't pacquiao fight marquez a 3rd time after their 2nd fight? And Mayweather tried to fight mosley back in like 04 or 05. And as ive said. Cotto said he wanted the winner of the gatti vs mayweather fight and then he fucking chickened out when mayweather destroyed gatti. I'm pissed at both mayweather and pacquiao. They're both fucking chumps.

Lol, what are you talking about "Sugar Ray never ducked anybody"?? He "ducked" Aaron Pryor, he "ducked" Hagler for 6 years, he "ducked" Hearns for the rematch, and he "ducked" Duran for the rematch. I put "ducked" in quotes because for simple-minded fans, they forget that boxing is a BUSINESS. Businessmen like Sugar Ray & Floyd know that you DO NOT step in the ring and put your life on the line for a single penny less than what you're worth. That's why Pac will be broke in the end.
yaiqab 1 year ago
@yaiqab Here are some facts junior. It's Pryor who has to move up to welterweight & challenge SRL. He fought Hagler when he was still dangerous & INACTIVE for 2 years. He fought HEarns again in 1989 stupid.He fought Duran 2 more times dumbass.
Hagler, Hearns, Duran & Pacquiao=warriors;
SRL=fighter/ bussinessman;
FLoyd Mayweather=bussinessman/ celebirty
SRL fought the great fighters of his era at least once. These fights are now legends which boxing fans still continue to watch & talk about
heath5511 1 year ago
@heath5511
Pryor was ready to move up to 147 to fight SRL you idiot lol. SRL fought Hagler after he believed that Hagler was slowing down &weakening after his wars with Hearns &Mugabi. Those are Ray's words, not mine. Duran gave SRL the rematch in 1980, not Leonard lmao. SRL gave Hearns &Duran rematches in '89 because those were money fights. Pacquiao has avoided every fighter with a slick style, even ducking Foreman for the 154lb title, while accepting the fight with Margarito. I wonder why?
yaiqab 1 year ago
@yaiqab Being ready to move up to 147 & actually doing it are 2 different things pea brain! If you know boxing; the heavier fighter does not go down one division and challenge the champion. I agree w/ you on the Hagler fight & the outcome but STILL SRL had the BALLS to rumble with the champ even w/ 3 years off. That makes them EVEN. Who gave who the rematch is pointless moron! the point is that you fought the best competition of your generation before you retire. Then you have nothing to prove.
heath5511 1 year ago
@heath5511
For the last time you idiot, Pryor chased SRL around and was ready to move to 147 to fight Ray for a big payday. He didn't do so because Ray DID NOT ACCEPT. SRL had to fight Hagler because he wanted the middleweight belt and it was a BIG MONEY FIGHT. Who gave who the rematch is the point because SRL WOULD NOT give rematches to any great fighters unless it was an absolute last resort and for a big payday. I see you dropped your uninformed Shane Mosley argument lol. Idiot....

@yaiqab Oh hell faggot, ready?. You gotta negotiate for the fight first pea brain.Pryor was already messed up after the Arguello rematch he didn't bother moving up to 147. He still fought Hagler even with the odds against him. period.
Real fight fans (excluding you) talk about Leonard-Duran 1-3, Leonard-Hearns 1 & 2 and Leonard Hagler. Mayweather-Pacquiao will happen when Floyd stops being a PUSSY. He's to afraid to loose. Real fighter put themselves on the line even when the chips are down.

Ther could be no negotiation for the fight when Leonard would no accept Pryor's challenge lol. Aaron was literally chasing him from press conference to press conference. I don't understand why you cannot understand this. Mind you, I have no problem with Ray not fighting him. The risk was not worth the reward. Mayweather has signed the contract to fight Pacquiao since September you idiot. Manny is the one who will not sign because he does not want to take the $30mil drug/blood test.

@pesante5 Geez, there is no comparison between the punching power of hearns & mosely. Tommy's power is badass enough to knockout middleweights & light heavyweights. As a welterweight; it was terrifying. Box? Watch & learn from this fight. NOBODY outboxed Ray Leonard the way Hearns did. Ray Leonard! Tommy only got hurt in round 14 which us why he lost but he totally dominated SRL on the scorecards. But you know what? this fight won't happen. Floyd will have too many excuses to avoid Hearns.
