Match  Floyd Mayweather Jr. against these two mid to late 80's?

Both are interesting match ups. Curry was a good fighter who was quick and had a good left hook, but i don't think he had the best footwork and he would probably be the aggressor in this fight and i can see Floyd feinting and out maneuvering Curry and countering him in winning a close decision. Floyd vs Starling would be a different type of fight because Starling was a good defensive fighter who kept his hands high and had a tight defense and was more of a counter puncher like Floyd. So this might be a bit of a boring fight but Floyd's hand speed would be the difference as he would hit Starling just enough for a very close decision.

Way to Early for a rematch either man can KTFO of the other i think a rematch with Ricco Rodriguez or Frank Mir would have been a better match-up for these guys maybe even a match with Tank Abbott would be fun to watch and a easy match for either opponent. Why Pedro Rizzo hasn't had a shot at the gold is hard to understand he is a counter fighter which would be a good fight with either of these guys who love to push the pace. I don't think it was luck that Tim KO Andrei he has 260 pounds behind those gloves and loves to throw them. All that aside come UFC 61 i think Andrei will take the fight to the ground and try to submit Tim quickly but Pat and Jeremy Horn will be working him over on that every day cant wait what a fight hope it ends in a KO.

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.

Brent ~\n           In my opinion, every fighter that moves up in weight is slower regardless if it is something significant or something so minute that nobody even that fighter doesn't realize. Floyd has already proven that he has no punch the bigger he gets so this will not be a issue. The one thing that Floyd will have going against him is his physical size, usually the bigger man can push the smaller guy around once the smaller guy is caught.\n          One thing that will come into play will be what size ring this "fight" will take place in. The bigger the ring, the better off it will be for Floyd.\n          Look for Floyd to come in at 150 pounds no heavier, no lighter.

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

All these fighters have one thing in common they don't have very good footwork.  Hagler would beat Hopkins.  Hagler was too tough and his boxing skills were more advanced.  Hopkins is a good gym fighter nothing more and Marvin fought alot of good tough bruising middleweights on his way to the title as well as when he was champion.  Alexis would have no problem with Julio.  They were both great lighter weight fighters, I just think that Alexis height and reach advantage would prevail.

I have a P4P favorite in each weight class.  But I have to go with my boy; Miguel Cotto!  Winky Wright is also a strong candidate.  And no doubt in my mind that Bernard 'The Executioner' Hopkins is on top of the boxing world right now.  Floyd?  He gotta beat Oscar De La Hoya if he wants to be recognized as one of the top P4P at least in my mind.

It's a little more interesting, but I think the fight would play out very similar to the first two. Hopkins dominating Tarver doesn't in any way mean that he would dominate Taylor if they were to meat again. After all, Taylor is a much more agressive fighter who won't lay off. Hopkins has already solidified his place in the boxing hall of fame. I personally think it's great for him to step down and leave an open space for some of the up-and-coming fighters out there.

It should have been a draw. The knockdown in the first round proved to be costly for Collazo. Needless to say, Hatton is still undefeated, but would absolutely get killed by Mayweather, De La Hoya or Cotto. He does put on a good show though.

its a tought call. both are very good fighters. its a 50/50 match and 1 punch can turn the match either way. i am going w/ tim. he tasted what its like to be a champ.

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.

Pancho - I gotta think about that one. I will add more details later. A damn good question........ I'm leaving the Mayweather/De La Hoya fight off the list, got enough buzz going already. My card consists of one fight that may be already made. Here they are:\n1) Mosley/MayweatherJr.\n2) Castillo/ Hatton (I believe this is scheduled for spring '07)\n3) Calzaghe/Taylor\n4) Wright/Abraham\n5) Pacquiao/Marquez II\nMaybe not the ultimate fight card but matches I'd like to see. I want to see some of those Euros fight here against top rank competition.

Brent me and you both know that this is a joke match up Roy Jones Jr was probably best P4P for the last 10 years before Tarver and Johnson I wont even speak the other boxers name in the same sentance as Roy Jones.\n\nRibafish i will check out his next fight but i still think putting Adamek in a dream match up with Roy Jones is a bit of a joke, Adamek has fought absolutely nobody and Jones has been in the ring with greats like Hopkins, McCallum and Toney. Maybe this question should be posted again in 5 years or so, when Adamek has had some kind of career.

Mike Suarez (25-2, 13 KOs) had six straight knockout wins before fighting an IBF Welterweight title elimination bout against James Webb on the Judah - Baldomir undercard this January. He stopped Webb in just 44 seconds and is currently #1 in the IBF Welterweight rankings.\n\nThere are some recognizable names on Suarez's record but none that really stand out. He's never been stopped in a fight, though he has two decision losses, so he should be a pretty good opponent for PBF. Unfortunately, you only hear a few names discussed in the boxing media, so it's hard to keep track of who the other good opponents are.\n\nHowever, if Mayweather gets another big money fight (such as Oscar De la Hoya), I'm pretty sure he'll have no trouble giving up his IBF belt to take it.\n\nBy the way, "pound-for-pound" is better than "in his division." :D

This is a fascinating bout. Two guys with arguably the best jabs in boxing today, one orthodox, one southpaw.\nWhoever lands his jab first and keeps the other guy turning, wins the fight.\nMy pick is Winky.

Mayweather? yeah, 118-108, with Mayweather landing 43%, and Boldomir hitting just 12% of his punches. HBO will replay the fight next Saturday night (10 ET)
