First: Marquez and Judah are not what I would consider slow fighters..as a matter of fact Marquez hung with Pacquiao twice. Mayweather just has exceptional speed.

Second: Only recently has Mayweather been the larger guy in the ring but if you look at most of his fights he is not the larger guy. As a matter of fact he was the same size as Judah for that fight and smaller than De La Hoya(poosy).

Third: Cotto and Mosley(lol). You can't be serious ! Cotto is a good fighter and I LOVE to watch his fights because they are always good but he would be destroyed by Mayweather due to his speed and precision. Cotto would not be quick enough to counter Mayweather's punches and due to his poor fighting stance he would get rocked. Also he's been knocked down by lesser fighters than Mayweather.
Mosley is just an over the hill guy with no jab and not quick enough reflexes to hang with Mayweather. Mosley just needs to stop. His fight against Cotto was terri-bad !
love it!!! actually an argument that has boxing sense!!! here are MY opinions:

on First: judah is not known to be slow because he can neutralize an opponents speed with his boxing... however, you cant say that he was fast enough to give mayweather a harder time locating him.. in their fight i actually think that judah was just letting floyd hit him first and punish him by countering... in the end mayweather was still faster and was connecting more, which wore out judah... hmmm... come to think about it, both judah and marquez are similar ... the reason they do not seem slow is because they counter so well and can take the initial punches of the opponents.. see the diaz fight... so compared to pac i think they are still slower

on second: i was really highlighting the speed of pac not size.. all am saying is that pac's speed and style sets him apart from other opponents that mayweather has faced.. thats why it would not be a blow out as much as some people think it would be for either pac or floyd... which is why it would be a classic fight... if it ever happens

on third: yeah, i personally don't think mosley has shown me enough to say that he will beat mayweather... all i know is that mayweather has dodge those two guys because it will be difficult fights for floyd... for mosley, the fact that he can pretty much take a lot of punches and still has an above average speed will make it harder for mayweather... but i will still pick floyd over mosley... in contrary, i whole heartedly think cotto can whoop floyd if he gets a better trainer or go back with his uncle or something... simply because cotto has a punishing jab which he connects (which he was actually landing on pac but just did not know what to do with it after that)... at this point though he also need to get his head straight and go back to the mindset he had prior to the margarito fight.. which is more reason why he needs a better trainer...

also, ROACH knows something about mayweather... and when Roach has identified a weakness of the opponent... he knows how to expose them... i believe after training de la hoya for his fight against mayweather, he exactly knows how to defeat him and he was his target all along... this is because, if you look at all the fights that pacquiao has taken... they are all fights that puts mayweather in a position to fight pac... de la hoya, hatton, and the guy that mayweather dodges the most... cotto...its essentially making a statement "i fought who ever u fought and did not want to fight, so come fight me"... with that thought, pac will expose this weakness and has the best chance of putting an L on mayweather's record...
I NEVER SAID I LIKED MAYWEATHER , but that doesn't take away from his skills wether i'm a fan boy or man boy ??? fail to see your point. it's always the same story. see you made my point , all the others were very different each fighter and each time the same reason was givin for may to loose. now your new reason is no more different than all the rest, now that you dress it up and try and sound like some fight investigator. in the end same results !!!
just where did you get this scientific evidence"pac will expose him" etc..etc.. my friend you have an opinion as i do that is all. So and So did this so and so did that. Put up or shut up.
On the streets they race cars for big money, only thing is other crew gets to inspect your ride. Almost like the pros do it each car in inspected all the way to the gasoline !!! now here you come refusing inspection. (smells fishy) then on top of that try and call may scared because of it!!!I will defend that to no end. You make the all , all the excuses you want. i just an't justify it(neither can you) that's my argument from day 1(look it up).
now that we are past the hoopla , who you got your money on?? are you just here to convince??

either high on drugs , has a crystal ball , or can predict the future.
If this fighter had this trainer , if this fighter was a little quicker , if this fighter had trained harder ???? This guy needs to change his style etc.. etc.. etc..
dude what the hell are you talking about? Are you trying for reality show or what??
Each fighter is an individual that his his or her own style, in the words of the famous commercial "they are who we thought they were" You can't take a little of this guy a little of that guy , a little from this guy to try and beat may. It's not an all star vs. may..
Man I thought you were bringing some serious boxing knowledge here. But in reality you are into "BUILD A BOXER" to beat may !!!

It sucks that things didn't work out for pac v may...oh well. I laughed when may jr. stated that the philippines has the best enhancement drugs ....like he would know. I guess us filipinos make pretty sucky enhancement drugs since there are not alot of well known filipino athletes.
