Not me, this fight is all hype and he hasnt even scrathed the surafce at welter. He needs to take on what fans consider (not who he considers) to be the top welters right now and then if he wins, which there is a good chance of, he can start talking jr middle. But first he needs a couple of these names on his resume: Williams, Margarito, Cintro, Collazo, Cotto, Quintana

The best "boxer" is Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather, Undefeated and already attained the status of champion in 4 different weight classes, more to come stay tuned. I assumed you meant the "world" as in guys that are still fighting and still alive. If that was wrong, my apologies.\n\nIce Ice (let me guess Your Vote for Greatest Rap Artist Ever would go to Vanilla??) \n\nThe question states "the world's best" which should lead one to believe a fighter who is currently fighting. But then you get critical and say PBF doesn't match up to the greats like Sanchez, Leonard, Chavez etc The question isn't asking for comparison to legends. \n\nNow here is the tricky part why do you compare PBF to legends from boxing history, then turn around and pick PacMan. Do you mean to say that PacMan is on par with all those guys you mentioned?? It sure looks that way to me. PacMan is one of my favorites but not that great. I noticed that all you do is go around trying to put others opinions down. But its only a sign of your own inability to give props to your choices or your opinions that leads you to chastise others who don't share your views. \n\nAn opinion is unique to each person, it can't be judged as "right" or "wrong". If I asked, What's the best tasting ice cream? I'd get 100s of answers but none are wrong BUT, ALL ARE RIGHT to that person.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a huge favorite going into the fight. He's not only undefeated, he's the current pound-for pound champion. Mayweather surpasses Judah in speed, skill and power. I'm not sure what Judah could do to win, but if he does it'll be a huge upset in the boxing world.

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.

I just think that's De la Hoya's way of saying either you want to fight me or you don't. I don't think Floyd is a stupid man. He has to know that De la Hoya is a drawing power and he knows that Oscar holds the cards in his favor as far as negotiations go, but he has to also try to make the best deal possible for himself in the process. And i certainly agree with Lovely Lady Vette's assessment that Floyd needs De la Hoya more because Oscar's legacy is already intact, we already know that he is a great fighter who fought just about every significant fighter from 130 to 160 in his career. Floyd is trying to get where Oscar already is, but in terms of De la Hoya fighting one more fight as he has stated that he wants to do, he also needs Floyd because that's really the only fight left in his career that the public is hungry for and he knows that. Oscar is not a stupid man either. I'm not saying that a rematch with Felix Trinidad wouldn't sell, but which fight do you think the public would much rather see? I guarantee it would be against Floyd. As far as the fight itself goes, i've said all along on this forum that i think De la Hoya would be Floyd's biggest threat because he's naturally bigger and has the hand speed and ring savvy to give Floyd lots of trouble. Right now it's a pick-em fight in my opinion. And i understand that a lot of people just don't like Floyd and refuse to give him any credit for the good fighters he has already beaten, but i'll stick to my guns and say he's still the best in the sport.

I would like to see Hatton earn another quality win before I believe he can compete with Floyd.  The Collazo fight lowered Hatton's stock a bit.  If he can beat another good 147 lb fighter in the top 5 than I say give him a shot otherwise I haven't seen any thing that makes me think he can compete with Mayweather.

Although toney might be the best skilled hw boxer right now, and valuev may be the most physically imposing, i have to say my current favorite is lamon brewster. He has true heavyweight power (as evidenced by his comeback stoppage of klitchko and quick knock out of golota) and he clearly has a lot of heart (fighting sergei with a detached retina from round 1 and nearly pulling out a decision). The amazing thing is is even though he is an american heavy, he really has recieved very little pub and needed to win the fight he lost in part because of injury. Its pretty disappointing as he really could have launched if he won a few more fights consecutively.

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.

Man, that is a tough question, as a boxer enthusiast, and amateur boxer myself I am really excited about the Chris Byrd Wladimir Klitschko fight.  \n\nNow, about your question, I do think Klitschko is going to easily defeat Chris Byrd, by even more than he did their first fight, and I believe that James Toney will then be the Ring Magazine number one fighter, however I believe everyone will then consider Wladimir Klitschko the heavyweight to beat.  Klitschko looked great in his last fight, and will defeat Chris Byrd by unanimous decision.

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.

Pound-for-pound? This is a tough call. Yes, Mayweather is more technically savvy and a more complete fighter than Pacquiao. He is an excellent fighter and everyone knows that already, especially those who had the misfortune of facing him inside the ring. HIs last fight was a real clinic from start to finish, with the Pretty Boy simply outclassing his strong but slow opponent and as a result, the decision was never in doubt even from round 1. On the other hand, Pacquiao's last fight showed how much he has improved through the years, from a one-dimensional, power-punching lefty to a clever, shifty two-fisted bomber. And the scary thing is that he seems to be continuing to improve some more.  There is no denying Mayweather's skill in the same way that the PacMan's power is already a given. But between the two, I would have to choose Pacquiao because of his ability to IMPROVE his game and complement his power with some slick in-ring moves. I was particularly impressed with the way he defended against a barrage of Morales' punches by leaning on the ropes, sliding quietly to his left and then, BOOM, unleashing a crunching left hook as he moved away from a stunned El Terrible. That was the move that put fear in Morales' eyes, for he just found out how much the PacMan has improved.. and it's a whole painful lot (which also says a lot about the talent and discipline of the Filipino icon). Apart from that, and from a spectator's point of view, which one do I really want to watch: an informative, deliberate boxing documentary or an edge-of-your-seat boxing suspense-thriller? Im gonna go with Pacquiao's suspense thriller, where every second in the ring counts and you absolutely have no idea when, where or how the fight's gonna end.

DelaHoya vs. Mayweather.  Oscar is about done and wants to go out on top.  What a better way then beating the pound for pound best.  Mayweather has never been hit by a good left hook. Shoot, I don't think Mayweather has ever been hit hard.

Although Oscar De la Hoya hasn't been active recently, I'm sure he's done everything necessary to get in shape for this fight, and he's probably too smart to lose to a brawler like Mayorga. It's possible that if Oscar doesn't come in at 100% and is even the slightest bit off balance, Mayorga would find his way in and really punish De la Hoya, but it's never happened before. I see De la Hoya using his skill to keep Mayorga the perfect distance to land without getting hit for most of the fight.

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.

agreed. Floyd Mayweather is by far the best pound for pound boxer to step into the ring. The only rival to the crown might be Roy Jones Jr. 10 years ago. \nMost exciting class, that would probably be welterweight untill may, when mayweather fights Oscar at middleweight. Truth.
