mlong23 said:Thats funny, that he could knock out a 300 lb'er with 3 punches. Do you not understand why little guys don't fight big guys? Its because their punching power isn't that great, and if they get caught by a punch from the bigger guy, its usually lights out for the little guy. I wasn't referring to a bodybuilder, because most are flexible or quick enough to actually fight. If it was a street fight and Maywhether tried whopping someone that was about 220-230, I don't think he could. He may be fast, but the power he has doesn't mean a lot when your hitting a bigger target.
He is not striving to be the biggest, thats because he most likely can't. Not a lot of boxers can move up through the weight ranges and do well. Some do, but most can't, because they lack the natural hitting power that the heavier people have naturally. Look at Maywether, he probably doesn't have to lose a lot of weight to get into his division anyway. He is structurally small. If he tried moving up he wouldn't do well. Maybe 1 division, but probably not anymore than that.
Boxing as a sport is no more. There are way too many titles out there, and the promoters have ruined the sport. How many heavyweight champs are there, like 10 or something. What do they have 3 main ones, the IBF, WBC, and one other. Why??? There should be 1 champion per division. This is why boxing is suffering and it will never reclaim its glory that it once had in the 50's - 80's.
The Punisher is the man reminds of Hearns. I think Oscar beats Mayweather.bruce410 said:i'll tell you who floyd needs to fight and its paul williams. the 6 2 welter weight with a 7 foot arm span. that dude is a beast. that will be a good fight. oscar is gonna get tko'd just like gatti did. and gjohnson don't get so upset, jones tested hot for nandrolone so its relevant to roids lol
Lighter division are the best to watch Heavyweights are to boring.mlong23 said:Plus, not a lot of people really give a shit about seeing some welterweights, cruiser's, or bantam's fighting each other.

justinjones1963 said:To reply to everything:
1) Fighters in the 140 +/- range are fun to watch. Pac-Man, Mayweather, Cotto are all fun to watch. The action is with the lighter guys - they hammer each other for 12 straiht rounds.
2) The HW division is heating up. The Boxing Banker just cashed his last check and got KTFO. There are some exciting figthers to watch. Peter has a chin of steel and the powder to back it up. Wvlad is making waves again. James Toney, despite all of the hype, has a good chin and can box.
3) Look at Mayweather's KO record - it sucks. DLH has speed and powder. Mayweather is probably faster but his chin has not been tested. If DLH comes in at top form he is going to give Maweather a run for his money. Gatti is a very limited fighter, so is Baldomir. DLH is a class A fighter and the fight with Mayweather is not going to be a cake walk for Maywether.
4) RJJ, IMHO, did go up against some decent fighters but he backs down from a ton too. Beating Ruiz at the HW level was a joke. Huggy Bear simply didn't have the speed or skills. You look at the fighters he fought in the 160-170's and RJJ should have stepped up to better competition. He dodged fighters like Calzaghe. Gimmie a break. A good comparison is Toney. I am not a big Toney fan but I give him tons of credit for stepping up to every word that comes out of his big mouth. The man went at it with Peter and took those hits and IMO won that fight. He also stepped up to the best fighters at the time from the 160's all the way up to his curent weight.
On a final note Winky Wright should be getting a hell of a lot more credit than he gets. The way he beat the hell out of Tito was superb. IMO he beat Taylor too. He is also another fighter that step up to the plate when the time comes. Too bad Mayweather and RJJ couldn't follow in his footsteps. Mayweather is a very good fighter. Definitely top 5 P4P out there today but if he wants to go down in history as a great, or the greatest fighter, he needs to clean the floor with DLH, then go after Cotto (who Mayweather would beat I believe), Margarito and most importantly Hatton.

bruce410 said:i will tell you right now, i agree about winky. i think winky is the most underated fighter there is. but he does not have the flash and willingness to gamble to get his credit. i disagree about floyds jaw, it was tested against gatti, baldomir who knocked out gatti, and zab judah. i love ricky hatton as well. roy jones destroyed bernard hopkins with a broken right hand, he destroyed james toney, he beat down ruiz and called out tyson and lewis neither of whom would fight him. roy fought every undefeated champ they threw at him and didn't want to fight bernard at 160 again, he happily would have fought him at light heavy. now with bernard coming back maybe they will go again but it would have been better earlier. roy jones is the most talented fighter ever and though he did not have the competition that ali, leonard, hagler had, but you have to think to yourself, put roy jones in the ring with ray leonard, he kills ray, put him in the ring with hagler he wins, anyone you name it young roy tears them a new asshole. so just cause he made everyone he fought look like nothing doesn't mean they were nothing. why would he fight bernard or toney again when he beat them so badly and then moved up in weight for more of a challenge. floyd mayweather, cotto, hatton, paul willliams, and shane mosley all have to fight eachother. roy is getting to old now but had ne never come down for tarver he would still be taking names. just can't drop 40lbs in a month when you are 36
definitley, i think we all know winky wright would have beaten hopkins a long time ago but no one ever gave bernard shit for not fighting wink. holyfield came too late for the good tyson, and bernard blossomed as an older fighter when roy was way past that weight class.JumpBallWinner said:Dead on. A friend of mine who I always discuss boxing with talks about guys you are unlucky enough to come during a time where there isn't any competition. He always talks about young Tyson being one of those guys. My response to him is always this. I think a guy can also be unlucky enough to be so good, that no matter how good his competition actually is compared to other fights of all time, he made them look as if though they weren't competition. I believe that was the case with Roy in his prime, and I believe it would've been the point even to a greater degree with Tyson if his life and career would've taken the right path.
I like Winky but lets not get crazy he wouldn't have beaten Hopkins. Also Jones didn't destroy Hopkinks it was a very boring fight with both fighters admitting they gave to much repect for each other. Bernard ducked no one he took the Taylor fight instead of Winky or he would have fought him.bruce410 said:definitley, i think we all know winky wright would have beaten hopkins a long time ago but no one ever gave bernard shit for not fighting wink. holyfield came too late for the good tyson, and bernard blossomed as an older fighter when roy was way past that weight class.
mook you are the one guy that i love talking boxing with. you made me a grip in the hopkins tarver match. i disagree i have the hopkins jones fight roy has a broken right hand and he beats bernard pretty well, would have liked to see it again. i think winky would beat bernard. the way winky handled taylor who beat hopkins twice, granted i think it was a draw, i think bernard would get real frustratedmookie said:I like Winky but lets not get crazy he wouldn't have beaten Hopkins.

You know I am bias toward Hopkins he is my 5th favorite fighter of all time. 1: Sugar Ray Robinson 2: Marvin Hagler 3: Pernell Whitaker 4: Gerald McClellan who beat Roy twice in the ameteurs by the way.bruce410 said:mook you are the one guy that i love talking boxing with. you made me a grip in the hopkins tarver match. i disagree i have the hopkins jones fight roy has a broken right hand and he beats bernard pretty well, would have liked to see it again. i think winky would beat bernard. the way winky handled taylor who beat hopkins twice, granted i think it was a draw, i think bernard would get real frustrated
its sad about gerald. that is the reason that roy was a bit reluctant when he grew up. he saw mcclellan get beat down and ruined. they were good friends. too bad they never were able to fight in the pros. who was it that beat Mc Benn? or someone like thatmookie said:You know I am bias toward Hopkins he is my 5th favorite fighter of all time. 1: Sugar Ray Robinson 2: Marvin Hagler 3: Pernell Whitaker 4: Gerald McClellan who beat Roy twice in the ameteurs by the way.

exactly. there is a reason boxers make millions and mma don't. i have nothing but respect for mma and i realize there is a lot of talent involved but boxers are the elite, the best. the fastest and hardest hitting. whoever said floyd would break his hand is a moron. even when he breaks his hand he fights on and still dominates. good luck wrestling a guy you can't even touch. roy jones has fought rounds where he was untouched in the whole round. floyd went a round with gatti, a guy i doubt you would fight on the street, and was touched twice. how are you gonna take him downkickboxer195 said:don't underestimate the power of a boxers punch.......no matter what weight class. You're forgetting that boxing is ALL they train, so of course they will sap every little bit of power possible to each punch.
And what good is strength, takedowns, etc if you cannot even get close enough to land a shot??? I'm not talking MMA here, I strictly mean the street.

my friend think of how much easier it would be for a champion boxer say mayweather, you roy jones or tyson, to get at the elite level in mma. teach them some bjj and some kicking and they will do very well. the same can not be said for mma fighters. they cannot jump into boxing and win belts. its a different level of speed and skill. mma is amazing i love it but they simply just don't have the hand speed of the top boxers.Anthony Starks said:Because the sport is more mainstream and popular and all the $ that comes along with that, pure and simple.

i am just saying that elite boxers if they chose too could do very well in mma but i doubt most of the mma champions have the talent to fight in pro boxing. i take nothing away from mma, it is unbelievable and its different. i am not saying floyd mayweather is tougher than mma fighters i am just saying in my opinion he is a more elite athlete then they are. the same goes for roy jones and many others. matt hughes could not decide to fight at 205 and win the heavyweight belt, but i bet you that young tyson could have been taught a month of mma and dominatedAnthony Starks said:I don't know what you're basing this on since its never happened. I do know plenty of gold glove caliber boxers that have gotten their asses kicked in MMA, so I think its a more difficult transition than you think.
