Amir got smashed harder than that against Maidana and didnt get knocked out. That being said his chin isn't great but it's not the glass jaw some make out. Plus Mayweather isn't a hard hitter anyway so Amir's weakness would be negated.

Originally posted by Sam The Man View PostFloyd Mayweather has aged more than Manny Pacquiao and yet not only did he land more punches and control range and distance but he made the fight for the most part look like a walk in the park. Thats what he has been doing to most of his opponents his entire career. If thats not the mark of a great boxer then nothing is.
I remember so many of the british fans saying how Ricky Hatton was going to knock Mayweather out and for the first few rounds Hatton had some success but after that Mayweather took over with his boxing skills and timing and knocked him out.
I think if the Pacquiao v Mayweather fight had happened 5 years ago Manny would have been much more aggressive and as a result he would have got knocked out by a perfectly timed right hand from Floyd who 5 years ago was much faster himself with a higher work rate and better foot movement.
The only person i can see giving Mayweather problems is Amir Khan and thats because he ISN'T a fighter but a boxer that controls range and distance like Floyd that is also a bit faster than Mayweather now that Mayweather is in his late 30's

The world's top pound-for-pound boxer has been stripped of the WBO title he won from Manny Pacquiao.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. stripped of WBO title after failing to pay sanction fee
"Mayweather failed to pay the $200,000 sanction fee required by the World Boxing Organization for the belt he won on May 2 when he defeated Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas by the deadline, which was the end of the business day on Friday. So on Monday, the Puerto Rico-based organization stripped Mayweather of its title.
It elevated Timothy Bradley, who defeated Jessie Vargas on June 27 for the interim championship, to full champion status."
No news through yet if, after having his belt removed, Mayweather's trousers fell down.

Manny Pacquiao says his shoulder is all better and wants to seek another fight with Floyd next year.
I'll have two of whatever Manny is smoking.
I wonder what phantom injury excuse he'd come up with after getting comprehensively outboxed for a second time by Floyd? Would be enough to make PoTaito cry about it even more, I'd imagine.
All that said, it wouldn't surprise me if Floyd decided to make a Pac rematch his 50th fight. In all honesty, the sooner the pair of them hang their gloves up the better.Last edited by Nu-Eclipse; 23-02-2020, 19:47.

Astonishing performance from Tyson Fury. Bossed it from the opening bell. Amazing and gutsy. Huge respect for the guy and what he's achieved.
I only just watched it a few hours ago. Wilder was obliterated, no doubt about it. I honestly thought that Fury would attempt to dance for twelve rounds again but he totally controlled the fight, overpowered Wilder and made him look less-than-domestic level.
Not sure where Wilder goes from here. He's 35. It's either activate the rematch clause in the contract and have a third bout with Fury or retire - no point in going back to KOing bums for minor money, surely?
For Fury, the endgame is surely a megafight with AJ for all the belts? But I'm hearing talk of that being in Saudi Arabia - f**k off with that sh1t if it is true!
