RAY MANCINI "i think the only fighter to beat FLOYD MAYWEATHER IS...."

[Sergio Mtz]

If I was Castillo I would be insulted if someone compared me to Margarito. Margarito aint no Castillo and thats fact. Castillo does everything better than Margarito and is more Technically sound. Also Castillo is proven in the ring against A level fighters. Marg has fought nobodies and prospects. 147lb Version of Castillo my ass. Margs slow hand speed, wide punches and lack of defense is going to reduce him to a punchers chance in this fight.

Then I guess it is really a good thing that you are not Castillo...

Please edit; Directing movies because he lost all of his last 4 fights, Mancini was'nt that good, he was brave ill give him that.

I know you will be saying Mancini is smart and all just because he said Tony can beat Floyd but come on.

Ray Mancini was very good. Un underrated boxer..not just a brawler. He was never the same after the Kim fight and retired early. Watch some of his fights..he was very good.

I still think Floyd can take him. Doesn't really matter what anyone says, they aren't fighting the fight.

Mmm. That Mancini/Kim fight was a nightmare all the way around. To me, that was the most tragic boxing match I have ever seen, what with all of the repercussions...

good way to defend your post

Ray Mancini and 12 rounds. That's how Boom Boom is remembered by many of those who have been into boxing for some time (as fan and as one truly involved with the sport).

In Nov. 1982, in Las Vegas, Ray Mancini faced Deu Koo Kim in his second title defense of the WBA Lightweight crown. Mancini mauled the obviously inferior Kim who was on his 20th pro fight, going in with a record of 17-1-1.

Less than a week later Kim died of injuries suffered from the fight. A few months later his mother committed suicide and so did the referee Richard Greene.

In the meantime, the mandatory length of world championship fights was reduced to 12 from the former 15 rounds as direct result of the incident. The WBC did it first and the WBA soon followed. Majority of regional and national championships were already at 12.

Mancini was a popular fighter though old-timers shall find it difficult to remember any fight where his face did not bleed.

Was he any good? Not good enough to beat Arguello but good enough to wrest the WBA crown from the very respectable Arturo Frias in the first round and to defend it from Bobby Chacon by TKO 3. He also lost by SD in another bid to bring home a belt (WBO) to Hector Camacho (the elder), after losing his WBA throne to Livingstone Bramble ( they met twice: in the first was TKO'd and the second he lost by UD).

So, whenvever one watches a 12-round championship fight, like the one Barrera and Juarez just had, one may well remember Ray Mancini, the fighter.

ray mancini said, he thinks the only fighter that can defeat floyd mayweather is "ANTONIO MARGARTIO!"

Tell Ray Ray to shut up and sit down somewhere...everyone knows Pretty Boy will retire unbeaten...

[ferocity]

Ray Mancini knew this all along, now lets get them in the ring and see Margarito beat Mayweather Jr.

[JoartCC]

I saw you being the author of the post and for some reason I expected it was going to be tony.

by the way leonard and hagler said it was going to be hatton.

I dont know I would like floyd to fight them all + cotto, with margarito last. do you know why?

Margarito could fight a couple of guys more impressive than usual in the meantime and build interest (for someone who is not into boxing) in the fight. I am pretty sure he can kick some higher level ass, maybe not looking as dominant as he usually does... how about margarito-collazo? maybe a rematch with cintron would look more interesting now, although kermit would still get his ass kicked.

Im not fighting to prove to the fans who's the best.

How idiotic can you be dude.

Gayweather already admitted he's a coward when it comes to Margarito.

Are you smoking crack? Your brains are messed up.

I would pick Floyd all day long i would.
Marg is my boy and all but Floyd is the Truth!
Marg got pot shotted at times and when Cotto gave him angles he didnt have
much of an answer
I give ****in major props to Marg for bursting Cotto's bubble
but i aint seen something in him that leads me to believe he'd beat Floyd
