Comments Thread For: Jaron Ennis targeting ?history? and the ghost of Floyd Mayweather

"...seen as a potential successor to Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao and Terence Crawford." The key word here is "POTENTIAL". In bold capital letters, it sort of gives it a bit more of a kind of maybe touch of semi realism.

Do you realize that Floyd started off at 126 and ended his career at welterweight?

Answer the question please how many natural welterweights did Floyd fight/beat

OK djtmal it looks as tho you're going to be my punching bag today. For one I don't know why you put a slashmark between "who did Floyd fight/beat" when everyone knows his record is 49-0 which obviously means he never lost to anyone....

[DClefthook]

Second, I answered your question. He beat Cotto and Canelo amongst others....

Cotto and Canelo aren't natural welterweights


How many natural welterweights did Floyd fight/beat

Thirdly, let me ask you a question. What is your definition of "natural welterweight"? I'm assuming you mean a fighter that starts his career at 147lbs because that's 'naturally' the weight his body comfortably settled into when he started his career. Floyd started off at 126lbs which means he naturally started off as a featherweight. So when you're dismissive of his early achievements at featherweight by implying that he was some sort of bytch because he picked on smaller (< than welterweight) his whole career. But if you truly are a boxing fan you would know his first fight at welterweight was in 2007 when he knocked out Ricky Hatton. By the way that was his 39th fight. After that he fought all "natural welterweights" with the likes of Canelo, Cotton, Guerrero. big ass Victor Ortiz, Maidana and Berto. So please when you get on here and challenge do some research first son. You better ask about ne!

All fighters start off in their natural weight class and then eventually move up to challenge themselves as they get older. The only one to stay in his weight class and not challenge himself was bytch ass Tiole G because he was scared to death of Andre Ward

I hate to bust your bubble but Floyd's first welterweight fight was against Sharmba Mitchell, a transplanted welterweight.

Without looking at boxrec he at least fought Zab, Baldymir @ welterweight before Hatton.

Zab and Hatton were transplanted welterweights, I would consider Baldymir a natural welterweight.

Is there a final presscon here? What time?

I would see Boots as being closer to Felix Trinidad than Floyd. Floyd was a slick boxer when he started out. Boots is more of an upgraded version of Felix than anything else. The problem that Boots has is that he is being avoided by everyone which is hard because no one can say that he beat Crawford or Spence or any of the big names to earn his welterweight titles. But Boots will start to carve his own path by fighting a real opponent this Saturday instead of some tomato can.
