Rigondeaux can beat Donaire…… in his dreams. In reality he’s in for a nightmare. Rigondeaux may be a best amateur, but you can never compare an amateur to a great professional fighter. The level of competition is not even close.

Mr. Stretch

I remember when Floyd fought Shamba, Emmanuel Stewart (RIP) picked Sharmba because he was bigger, stronger, faster, a south paw and more experience, at the end of the fight stories changed to Floyd picked an easy victim. The same could be said for anyone he fights until the end of the fight. The guy has a will to win the is parallel to no other fighter of any era. And boxing doesn’t mean brawling, look at all the brawlers who no longer box, they all have mental illnesses, all.

” In my eyes to be considered the pound for pound best you have to beat the best and for countless years Floyd Mayweather hasn’t done that.”

STANDING OVATION. These are the EXACT words I’ve been waiting for someone other than myself, to say.

people dont understand that the bigger star you are in boxing the easier the business gets…………..becus youve earned it………..just like any other business………………..a strggling actor has to do commercials….small painful embaressing roles……………..but when you make it as a brad pitt …..you get to pick and choose your roles………….same with musicians………….

floyd mayweather has had plenty of 50 50 fights…….oscar.gatti.sharmba mitchell.castillo.corrales.manfreddy…………………….the reason we now know that they were not 50 50 fights is becus he is too dam good for any fighter………………….there isnt a man on the planet thats a 50 50 fight unless you bring him from the much higher weights which isnt how boxing goes

It’s a matter of Martinez’s team sitting down at the table and talking to Bob Arum directly if they really want this fight. It appears Arum has his sights set on a Martinez/Chavez 2, and Pacquiao to fight either Bradley or Rios if no fight with Marquez can be made. It’s still early in the year, maybe Marquez may re-consider when he finds out how much money can be made.

Because Martinez obviously changed his mind when he said he would fight Pacquiao @150lbs. Didn’t Pacquiao fight Margarita at that weight? So why not Martinez?

Why would you want Pacquiao to fight Martinez. Martinez said there is too much of a size difference, during the post in ring interview after the WIlliams 2 fight. Mayweather was the one who called out Martinez first.

Since Mayweather already has a fight scheduled and Pacquiao is looking for someone to fight in September, why won’t you start a campaign for Pacquiao to fight Martinez. Since Pacquiao likes to fight at catchweight and Martinez already has said he would be willing to fight him a 150 lbs, let Pacquiao step-up to the plate. And let’s quit with the Mayweather should fight Pacquiao nonsense, if $40 million couldn’t persuade Pacquiao, nothing will. But that was before Pacquiao lost to Bradley and Marquez. Being a loser with no title, Pacquiao’s stock has gone way down and no one wants to see that fight anyway.

This article was written as a cover-up just to try and trash Mayweather. His critique of each fight was about boxing with the exception of Mayweather which the writer turned into a personal attack against him. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but when it get’s off topic and becomes personal it really puts the focus back on the hater. This writer should take a lesson from the outcome of the last election.

To people who talk about the Ward , Sergio , Mayweather thing. SERGIO IS WILLING TO GO DOWN TO 154 TO FIGHT FLOYD. FLOYD FIGHTS AND HE IS A CHAMPION AT 154. WARD ON THE OTHER HAND WILL NOT GO DOWN TO 160 TO FIGHT SERGIO.

THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE.

FLOYD CLAIMS TO BE THE BEST AND HE IS. BUT HE WONT FIGHT REAL CHALLENGES SINCE HE BECAME A STAR BY BEATING OSCAR.

HE WONT FIGHT PACQUIO, NOR MARTINEZ . NOR EVEN BRADLEY , AND HE CAME OVER THE WEIGHT LIMIT TO FIGHT MARQUEZ.

HE SAID IT HIMSELF. ” I DONT CARE ABOUT LEGACY , I FIGHT FOR PAYCHECK”

ENOUGH SAID

This writer must be on dope. Maybe we don’t see Pacquiao as a big star anymore, but until Mayweather starts to diminish like Pacquiao his light will continue to shine. You don’t speak for us and ShowTime.

lol funny how that author a hater in disguise took his time to get to the mayweather fight to say he is not surprise and go on mention pacquio a ped user and sergio a guy 20 pounds heavier then floyd….and exactly why isnt floyd vs guerrero 50/50 guerrero is a champion, a number 1 challenger and ex champion in different weight classes…..the only problem is floyd is just too good..so how is that his fault..anyone he goes up against really will not have a 50/50 chance against floyd…so the hate continues.

This is a great article. I agree with all of the match predictions.

I just think that Guerrero is going to put a whooping on Mayweather.

ThatWork!!

@ dice…. The answer to your question about Canelo n Guerro having all these fights and you not knowing about them, it’s simple. They are all in the same boat as regular boxers who have a fight on Saturday night. Ok with Canelo, all of a sudden he has a million fans and everyone loves him, they post all kind of comments about people not wanting to fight him, how good he is and so on…… But you never hear them say why they like Canelo, or he does this/that, or did you see him fight so n so, or he has really good this, you never get passed his name. That’s b’cuz they are not true fans, only casual nut huggers. With the Ghost, you never hear them talk about his career, just his last fight with Berto, surely this guy has a career that was god before Berto, right? Everyone says he deserves this shot, but never defend their statement with why he deserves it!!!

@ knockout artist I don’t think he was hating on mayweather at all, he was just saying the obvious. It is a good and fair article there are other interesting fights coming up and looking forward to other then mayweather’s. Although I am interested to see who mayweather wants to fight come September time.

SERG

Canelo I commend for taking a huge fight early in his career. Its not really his fualt he hasnt had a big fight hes been trying for a year and a half. That pretty good for a then 20 year old.

Posted March 16, 2013  

SERG

The Writer is say what a lot of the fans are thinking. Its true why would he fight guerrero over manny pacquiou. If he really believes manny is that easy, fight him and make the biggest paycheck over your whole life and shut a lot of people up. Be he wont becuase I think he believes that manny is a threat to him. Canelo and Sergio Martinez are a threat to him. I bought one Mayweather fight it wasnt worth it, Im not going to pay for a fight the me and a lot of fans dont care for, but if he does record breaking numbers with guerrero he deserves some kind of respect.

Boxingmex

The hatered of some of the writers is comical!! So Mayweather is ducking Canelo? Let Canelo beat any legit 154lber first… As for Serigo that is not a good fight as of he fights him at 154 and wins Mayweather will be burned at the stake for catch weighting Sergio

And Pacquiao? Are you f’ing serious? Please biggest hype job ever

He fights all Maywethers leftovers after Mayweather is done with them

I have never seen a truly respected boxing person give Pacman a chance with Mayweather
