Pancho ~\n               In my opinion, no matter how dysfunctional the Mayweather clan is (and they are) there's still that Father, son connection. What father in their right mind (not that Floyd is in the right mind) would want to train another man to hurt is arrogant son, because that's how you beat Floyd Jr. you hurt him, you beat him, you elbow him, you force your will on him and Sr, knows this.\n\n            Gilberto Reyes, the Mastermind behind Julio Cesar Chavez's destruction of Floyd's Uncle Roger has had a few meetings with the De La Hoya camp. Oscar should be a sponge at these meetings and absorb everything Gilberto has had to say. The one thing that Gilberto stresses at every meeting is "You must not be trained by Floyd Sr. for this fight."\n            \n\n      Some people would argue that Floyd Sr. is a professional and is above not training his fighter properly for the fight at hand and I say to those same people, "Have you ever watched a interview with Floyd Sr, or any of the Maywethers?" the verbal communication can not be expressed without using obscenities and there is nothing Professional about them.\n\n    Oscar needs to get rid of Floyd Sr. and if he doesn't whatever does or doesn't happen to Oscar is Oscar's fault.

Roger Mayweather isn't fighting Oscar. He's too old plus he's the trainer of Oscar!!!!!!!!

Good Question!\n\nWell Both fighters have varying fighting styles:\n\n Mayweather is lightning fast and systematic (as when he fought Zab Judah), \n\nWinky is methodical and a logic fighter ( as when he fought Jermaine Taylor).\n\n I think Winky has Mayweather beat in power, but Mayweather has much faster hand speed and just as good in stalking his opponent .\n\nI see it going down to a decision, with Mayweather winning.

Let's look at their careers extensively...\n\nFloyd really seems invincible with his boxing skills. Add to the fact that he had not suffered a loss. The closest fight he had was against Castillo, a great fighter in his own right. But a rematch with Castillo made clear that Mayweather is a much better boxer. Prettyboy had easily beaten very strong competition (Manfredy, Castillo, Gatti, Judah, Baldomir, Ndou, Corrales) mostly via landslide decisions but at his current weight, he lacks the KO power the fans want to watch. If you come to think about it, his opponents although very good pugilists in their own way, with all due respect, I wouldn't consider them "great" fighters yet. None of Floyd's opponents are that legendary. There are still many fighters (Hatton, Margarito, Cotto, De la Hoya, Mosely) left that will make you doubt Floyd could handle. Some of these fighters are quite inexperienced yet but very talented and capable. A couple is also undefeated! I know many would argue the point but many would also agree. Floyd needs a couple of VERY BIG names and still a couple of undefeated fighters to cement his #1 P4P status! He needs to erase all doubts! He needs to fight and defeat opponents he "allegedly" tries to avoid! He needs a little KO punch for fight fans! I respect Floyd's boxing skills, hey, I'm even trying emulate his defensive style... but in my opinion, he needs to be a little risky. He needs let his hands go a little and try to finish off his opponents even if it means some openings on his defense! Majority of fight fans wants that.\n\nManny Pacquiao is a sudden storm in the world of boxing. Before he dismantled Barrera, nobody knows who he was. Everyone thought he was just a push-over before that round 3 knockdown of Barrera. Before the Marco Antonio Barrera match, he had dominated almost everyone while climbing the boxing steps via sensational KnockOuts. He had faced good fighters (Ledwaba, Lucero, etc...) and made them kiss the canvas. The crowd loves the way he fights but forgets him afterwards. Boxing analysts/experts that time already had their one eye open for the PacMan but they find Manny a little too one-dimensional and fundamentally awkward. Most believed that he can't handle great tacticians like the mexican greats. All doubts were in a rollercoaster after every PacMan fight! After Barrera, people said wow!!! what power!!! what speed!!! After Marquez, a very controversial decision had transpired. Some would say Pacquiao should have won by obtaining that 3 knockdowns in a single round. Some are convinced that Marquez had schooled Pacquiao boxing skills. People had started to doubt pacquiao.\nThe trilogy of PacMan vs El Terible had been the very highlight of Pacquiao's career. The first fight, which PacMan lost, was controversial as well. He had been blood-blinded with a clear headbutt which the ref called a punch. But despite this, Eric Morales clearly won the fight. But a very close one! Now people really thought that Pacquiao can be managed by boxing tactics! When the rematch came, Pacquiao seemed to improve greatly. He is faster, stronger, and somewhat ring clever. He improved his defense with still tremendous agression and top-notch condition! He gave Morales a first KO loss which he also gave to Barrera! And the deciding third fight closed the deal!!! Pacquiao was a very dominating force. His speed, power, and conditioning can't be denied. He is improving everytime he steps into the ring, it's almost frightening. In summary, now, almost everyone can say that he can't be defeated in his weightclass. Although he lacks the belts, his past fights will make you realize that he will dominate anyone. He had defeated, or should I say, KOed the mexican legends. He seemed unstopabble at this point! Give me names of worthy opponents.... Only Barrera, Marquez, and Guzman pops into our minds. But two of these fighters had already tasted the raw power

Maybe, Morales' camp thinks that Eric has improved in the power department. Maybe they are thinking of a KO win too. Who knows.?\n\nBut personally, I think... Cleto Reyes gloves is also good for a boxer not only for a puncher. A defensive jab will sting greater with this gloves. If Eric will try to box Manny, the gloves will give PacMan trouble since Jabs and not that powerful punches of a boxing Morales will relatively hurt Pacquiao coming in since padding is not that thick. \n\nThe danger for Morales is that Pacquiao is also using the Reyes gloves. "Reyes Gloves" + "Manila Ice" = TOTAL DEVASTATION!!\n\nI believe "El Terible" doesn't really care that much about the gloves. If he boxes very well and avoid exchanges, he has a very good chance. BUT if Manny's speed and power tags him, he will suffer his 2nd KO loss. \n\nBy the way, Reyes gloves is not suitable for brittle hands. Mayweather avoid this type of gloves.

Two rough, tough and gutsy fighters. Great match up buddy! Both fighters have been through the wars and fought the best fighters in their weight class and of their generation. Jones defeated the likes of Emile Griffith, Ray Robinson. Tiger beat the likes of Fullmer, Griffith and Jose Torres. I see this fight being a mix of tactics at times in the fight and toe to toe slugging. Both guys weren't known for knockout power. Therefore I see this one going the distance with Tiger winning by a close but unanimous decision.

King Booker?? I wasn't aware that he was now a boxer, thought he was a wrestler in sports "entertainment'. But, my answer as to who beats him for the, heavyweight top of the heep, I'd have to say without question Ricky Steamboat. (glances over to make sure I'm still in the "boxing" forum, yep that's what it says)

I think it was a fair call but it was a bad fight. I personally watched the fight baldomir did not land more than 10 power punches in 1 round. Thats his way of fighting. But when he got floyd on the ropes he did damage i thought it was closer than wat the judges thought. but mayweather did deserve to win.37-0 not for long............DE LA HOYA yes they did

I agree with your assertion. Taylor won the fight. Taylor was clearly more "in-charge" throughout the fight. This is not to say Winky did not make it close the second half of the fight, because, indeed he did. Having said that, let me also point out the fact  that ever true fan/ student of boxing knows that you are rewarded for aggressiveness, and, ring generalship. Forget everything else, but, if we simply looked at two virtually unknown fighters and one displayed the ring generalship, and, (controlled) aggression that Taylor did in the fight, there is no doubt that that fighter would win. In closing let me simply say, Styles make fights---and judges/and politics ruin them. Well, atleast we get to see the rematch, this will most likely be a trilogy. I hope not, but, more likely than not. For the record, Jermain is a super fighter.

It should be Manny Pacquiao since he's beaten the best in his division and not pick his opponents like Mayweather does. However, Mayweather's undefeated and that may be the only reason why he's the #1 pound for pound guy. I disagree though. It should be Pacquiao.

Floyd Mayweather Jr is the opponent Oscar De la Hoya is looking at for his big September 16th pay-per-view. With the amount of cash he could make on that fight, who would turn it down? It'll be huge, as is most anything with Oscar's name on it.\n\nMayweather may or may not have enough respect for Antonio Margarito, but he does realize that Margarito is a dangerous opponent who could ruin his chances to get on that card. The Margarito fight itself would not be anywhere near as big an opportunity since his name is still well known only among devoted boxing fans.

Mayweather just couldn't take shots. He is the best pound-for-pound fighter because he punches well and he AVOIDS GETTING HIT. Baldomir could KO him but he just can't put together his shots. If Baldomir was like Pacquiao on welterweight, Pretty Boy will be KO'd badly.\n\nMatt Hughes is well rounded. He can takedown Floyd anytime. He could easily grab Floyds arms and finish it with a flying armbar or just toe-to-toe then ground and pound.

Cotto might need a bit more polish before he can handle the difficult style of fighting hatton brings to the table. This could be a really good fight, but i actually dont think cotto would necesarily win. Its at a weight ricky wants to be at, and cotto is not as technically skilled as some may need to be to keep hatton off of you. He certainly could be eventually but i dont know when this fight would take place. Cotto still needs a little work, its a little to easy for him right now.

Mayweather is a really fantastic technical fighter and he really knows how to defend himself well. He also does a pretty good job of getting himself fights against guys who he is much better than but will get a good payday outta. Still i dont think there are many guys who give him too much trouble. His problem will probably be that hes gonna venture up so high in weight because he keeps winning as he moves up that eventually he gets up to a weight where someone can wear him down like 160. If he makes the mistake to go that high then he could be in trouble. I suppose around where hes at right now guys like margarito or hatton could give him some problems.
