Custom Opponent For Mayweather (2008 version)

The beefster hit the nail on the head in the other thread in saying that there isn't anyone with the skillset to beat mayweather and Guerrero will probably have to rely on Floyds (possibly) deteriorating engine to have any chance of winning. So let have a go a creating a fighter specifically for the purpose of beating FMJ after his DLH and Hatton wins in 2007. Please choose from post 2007 lightwelters/welters

Height and reach are same, the fight is at welterweight.

Start off with

Margos Chin ..

Just put in the 2009 version of manny pacquio and he beats mayweather. A super fast hard hitting southpaw like manny would cause floyd all kinds of problems.

I should have seen that coming

One of Floyds advantages is is reach, so give him Paul Williams height. and Manny's speed and power.

That said, A 6'2 welterweight who hits like Manny and has Margaritos chin would be nigh on invincible

Give Ricky Hatton another go but with Ian John Lewis reffing this time and Richie Woodhall judging.

LOL @ RANJIT!!

Think a lot of people are seeing Williams height and reach and forgetting how limited the guy was...........

Williams was a poor man's Breland and an experienced technician like Starling neutralized him easily enough......

Bit of clutching at straws about Williams chances............

Marg's chin..........Hatton's tenacity...........Manny's engine......

Marg's wraps.

A guy who can only attack in straight lines and can't handle someone who nullifies his straight left hand is gonna walk into super sharp counters all night from Floyd, have his moments no doubt and push Floyd due to his speed and combination punching but ultimately will be outboxed. Marquez and Morales showed you how to do it and Floyd is bigger, quicker and just all round better than them.

I stopped reading after you said 2009 Manny attacked in straight lines. Cotto admitted the angles Manny came in at were insane. Or the angles that left ODLH quitting on his stool.

The angle he fell when JMM slapped him.

He slapped him at least 3/4....

manny's angles would lead him on to counter after counter.
if agree if anyone would stand a chance it'd be manny but mayweathr is too smart for him. he would have picked him apart all night.

I think the version of mosely that faught Oscar dela hoya could have beaten a 2008 version of mayweather.

Not if he had a toothache

The juiced version of SSM?

The Manny that got KO'd by JMM, didnt listen to Freddy, had a movie, album, election and basketball game coming up, as well as a Jimmy Kimmel interview. Post 2009, Pacquiao started taking on too many extra-curricular activities.

I knew there was a reason Manny lost..

So nothing to do with JMM's right hand then?

Well that is his own fault then. Marquez had his number and landed a peach of a right hand managed to stop him. Nothing to do with his extra curricular activities.

Mayweather circa 2008 - the only person who beats Floyd is Floyd but unless Floyd isn't paying attention Floyd is unlikely to win, therefore I believe it would be a draw

No of course the right hand got him, I said so on a previous thread. I cant be expected to asterisk every comment I make with a reference to past comments.

Even Floyd said as much when he was asked about the Manny KO. His exact words:
. "I wish Pacquiao nothing but the
best. I wish that he can bounce back and he can
recoup from this. In the sport of boxing, you have
to really dedicate yourself to your craft. You have
to really, really dedicate yourself to your craft. I
think he's got so many different things on the
outside that he worries about, you know. But it
was a good thing that he was able to come into
the sport, you know, piggyback off my name, and
get a bunch of endorsement deals and make a
good living. That's a great thing."


I wanted to edit the last part. but the truth shall set you free!!
