zab beat lmm? damn. I missed it.

It was a couple years back before Zab fought Khan. Decent fight, shows how raw LMM was then, and how much he has improved.

Devon beat him too

Another robbery, I was there live. Devon ran scared after the first knockdown just to avoid being ko'd, and won a hometown decision. Again, very raw LMM, he would hurt that version of Devon now.

Yeah he should have a zero just like FMJ then

Yes. Commonly recognized as a n awful decision. LMM is arguably undefeated.

Agreed on the Devon fight. Argentines won't get the decision in the states. It's that plain and simple. I was 50.50 on the Judah fight.

I hate Mayweather but Canelo is extremely overrated and isn't good enough to beat May.

Can't wait to see this fight, I believe this will be the end of Mayweather era. Canelo will take over.
Thoughts?

Did you watch the Canelo v trout fight
Trout is a boring no power fighter and Canelo couldn't take him out in fact that fight in my opinion could have gone either way... Judging wise
This is an easy bum fight for Floyd

I wouldn't call Canelo a bum. But all this is FMJ collecting another alphabet tittle by fighting a guy with a huge fan base, inflated record and limited skillset.

Next fight is May 5th if Canelo goes well. Oh Brother, the B E A N E R tour continues. What's the odds on Garcia in a SD in 12? I doubt he'll bang with Lucas, and Argentines don't win when it goes to the cards in the states.

1. Floyd Mayweather Jr.

2. Timothy Bradley Jr.

3. Juan Manuel Marquez

4. Manny Pacquiao

5. Devon Alexander

6. Robert Guerrero

7. Adrien Broner

8. Paulie Malignaggi

9. Kell Brook

10. Marcos Maidana

If Danny beats LMM, Floyd will most def meet him at 147. If LMM wins, you can scratch that. Depending on how the fight goes, their could be big money in a rematch with Canelo. The Guerrero fight flopped big time for Showtime, so I think you can scratch a few of those lesser name guys(Alexander, Brook, Maidana) off that list . Marquez won't fight Floyd again IMO, and Floyd wont waste a PPV on Paulie. Bradley still has one more fight(I think) after JMM left on his Top Rank deal, so you can scratch him and PAC off too. Would be a solid match up with Bradley though. Broner probably has more potential to happen than people think.

Ok, what's the odds on Maidana and close SD on Broner, who is into too much shit instead of his craft, based on the PM fight? I get the idea FMW, the friend, wants Broner to win but "the boxer and businessman" has no issue with Broner taking a defeat now, so he doesn't have to hear about the match and his unwillingness to take it. For sure FMW fights a Mexican on May 5th. I can't think of an 154. He won't mess with an 160 like GGG or a shot Martinez coming down, which isn't worth messing up his retirement tour money.

no one in todays era can beat mayweather

no one has the skill heart power stamina

family taught him the sweet science since age of 3

only one person has a slight chance of winning if he takes off 2 years and trains in isolation

focusing on his fukn footwork and stamina and thats amir khan

if khans trainer had any knowledge of boxing he wouldnt even let him start punching

till he got his footwork right

has zab taken a tougher road at jr W - 147 than FMW

Mayweather is a smooth fighter.Floyd is the best at getting out of any kind of bad situation,even though he dosn't go for knockouts he is a insane skilled boxer watching that guerrero fight floyd had Robert missing all night. Floyd is so good at avoiding being hit. Robert couldn't touch Floyd. I can't count the times I saw Floyd slip away from Roberts punches. Floyd made Robert look like a real shitty fighter wich is what floyd does best. Floyd is one slippery fighter and knows how to win and he plays it smart Floyd does not care if he gets a KO he just wants any kind of win.
