Floyd Mayweather, Jr: Last 5 Fights (part 1)

Many have tried to fight Floyd Mayweather and hand him his first defeat, all of them failed. Nobody ever succeeded in bringing down PBF, forty wins with no defeat. In here we are going to discuss Mayweather's last five fights, obviously Floyd Jr. was victorious in all of them. So who do you think will be the underdog for the Pacquiao-Mayweather mega-fight?

Here are the last 5 fights of Mayweather [starting from recent]:

- Juan Manuel Marquez | Unanimous Decision @ 142lbs
- Ricky Hatton | TKO in Rd 10 @ 145lbs
- Oscar De La Hoya | Split Decision @ 154lbs
- Carlos Manuel Baldomir | Unanimous Decision @ 147lbs
- Zab Judah | Unanimous Decision @ 145½lbs

Four of those fights went to the score cards, the win against Ricky Hatton reached the distance as well (round 10). Let's take a look.

Mayweather vs. Judah: Sworn Enemies

This event was a boxing IBF welterweight championship which took place on April 8, 2006, at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada between IBF Welterweight Champion Zab Judah (34-3, 25 KO) and undefeated four-division champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (35-0, 24 KO).

Mayweather defeated Judah for the IBF and vacant IBO world welterweight titles by unanimous decision. Beforehand, the fight had been jeopardized after Judah lost the WBA, WBC and Ring Magazine welterweight titles to Carlos Manuel Baldomir on January 7, 2006, but Mayweather's and Judah's camps reworked the contract and decided that the fight would go on. In the fight, Mayweather stayed calm during Judah's aggressive early rounds. Mayweather began to dominate Judah in round 5, and Judah eventually bled. Near the conclusion of the tenth round, Judah hit Mayweather with a left hand that was clearly below the belt and followed up with a right-handed rabbit punch. After referee Richard Steele called time with five seconds remaining in the round, Roger Mayweather entered the ring and approached Judah, but Steele restrained him. Judah's father and trainer, Yoel Judah, entered the ring as well. Floyd remained in the neutral corner while both Yoel and Zab scuffled with Roger (and others who had entered the ring) until police and security managed to restore order. Roger was thrown out, but the fight continued and went the scheduled 12 rounds. Mayweather won by the official scores of 116-112, 117-111, and 119-109. Compubox statistics showed Mayweather as landing 188 punches to 82 for Judah.

Mayweather-Baldomir|'NO' to Margarito

Mayweather rejected an offer of US$8 million to fight Antonio Margarito and split with promoter Bob Arum. Oscar De la Hoya, however, postponed his decision until 2007, leaving Mayweather in the awkward position of choosing his next opponent. Mayweather considered moving up in weight again to fight junior middleweight champion Cory Spinks, but because of negative publicity and Spinks' impending mandatory defense of his title, he finally decided to face WBC and The Ring welterweight champion Carlos Baldomir on November 4, 2006 in Las Vegas.

Mayweather would ultimately defeat Baldomir by unanimous decision for both titles. Ringside punch statistics showed Mayweather landing 199 of 458 punches, while Baldomir landed just 79 of 670. Mayweather earned $8 million for the fight, while Baldomir was paid $1.6 million. Both were career highs in earnings for each fighter at the time.

During the fight, Baldomir chased Mayweather sluggishly, unable to land any meaningful shots but trying to remain the busier fighter, while Mayweather picked away with sharp jabs and hooks, even managing to cut Baldomir over his left eye in the first round. This pattern continued throughout the fight. The defensive-minded Mayweather put on what many witnesses and Mayweather himself called a "boxing clinic" to take Baldomir's WBC and Ring welterweight titles in a lopsided 12 round decision. Two judges had Mayweather winning all 12 rounds, with the other giving all but two rounds to Mayweather. After the fight Mayweather called out for a fight with Oscar De la Hoya.

Floyd "Money" Mayweather, Jr.

We've talked about Manny Pacquiao on the previous posts; his last five fights and achievements. Now, it's time for us to talk about Floyd Mayweather, Jr.


-full name: Floyd Mayweather Jr.(born Floyd Sinclair)
-born: February 24, 1977
-age: 32
-birth place: Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
-division: Welterweight
-height: 5′8″(173cm)
-weight: 72″(183cm)

Floyd Joy Mayweather, Jr. (born Floyd Sinclair on February 24, 1977), is an American professional boxer. He is the son of Floyd Mayweather, Sr., a former welterweight boxing contender.

From July 18, 2005 through June 2, 2008 he was rated by The Ring magazine as the number-one pound for pound boxer in the world. Mayweather has won six world boxing championships in five different weight classes; he is the former WBC welterweight champion, a title he vacated upon his retirement. He was named Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year in 1998 and 2007. He is currently ranked number 2 pound for pound fighter.

Mayweather is undefeated with 40 wins including 25 by knockout.


BACKGROUND

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with his mother's last name. His last name would change to Mayweather shortly thereafter. His father, Floyd Mayweather, Sr., is a former welterweight contender, while two of his uncles, Jeff Mayweather and Roger Mayweather, won championship titles.

Mayweather fought his first professional bout on October 11, 1996 against fellow newcomer Roberto Apodaca who was knocked out in round 2. Mayweather's trainer at the time was his uncle, Roger Mayweather, because Floyd Mayweather, Sr. was still imprisoned after having been convicted of illegal drug trafficking in 1993. Mayweather, Sr. took over as Mayweather, Jr.'s trainer when he was released from prison (after Mayweather, Jr.'s fourteenth fight—a second-round knockout of Sam Girard). From 1996 to early 1998, Mayweather won most of his fights by knockout or TKO.

Manny Pacquiao: Last 5 Fights (part 2)

This is the follow-up for Manny Pacquiao: Last 5 Fights (part 1) where the Pacman had defeated Juan Manuel Marquez, David Diaz, and Oscar De La Hoya... so read on.

The Battle of the East and West|How Hatton Went Down

On May 2, 2009, Pacquiao defeated Ricky Hatton to claim the IBO and Ring Magazine light welterweight titles (as well as the lineal light welterweight title), at the MGM Grand Las Vegas, in a fight billed as "The Battle of the East and West".

The fight was originally placed in jeopardy due to disputes with both camps over the fight purse money. Eventually, the money issue was settled and the fight went on as scheduled. HBO aired the contest.

Pacquiao started the fight strong, knocking down a sluggish Hatton twice in the first round. A somewhat shaken Hatton beat the count, only to be saved by the bell seconds later. In the second round Hatton seemed to have recovered, as he stalked Pacquiao for most of the round. However, with less than ten seconds remaining in the second round, Hatton was knocked out cold by a sharp left hook, prompting the referee to award Pacquiao the win by knockout (at 2:59 of the round).


Fire Power|Record-breaking 7 Titles

On November 14, 2009, Manny Pacquiao defeated former WBO welterweight world champion Miguel Cotto, by technical knockout in the twelfth round, at the MGM Grand Las Vegas, in a fight billed as "Firepower". The fight was sanctioned as a world title fight in the welterweight division, where the weight limit is 147 pounds, however Cotto's camp agreed to fight at a catchweight of 145 pounds to accommodate Pacquiao's smaller physique. Cotto's camp also conceded the larger share of the purse to Pacquiao, who received a 65% share of pay-per-view buys, compared to Cotto's 35% share.

In the opening round Cotto appeared to have the edge, as he connected with solid jabs and managed to pin Pacquiao against the ropes. However, Pacquiao later admitted that he had allowed this to happen, as he wanted to test Cotto's power. From the second round onwards Pacquiao picked up the pace, knocking Cotto down in the third and fourth round, and going on to dominate the later rounds. After a heavily one-sided ninth round in favor of Pacquiao, wherein Cotto received significant punishment, many people thought that Cotto's corner should have stopped the fight. Cotto's wife even left the arena. However, Cotto decided to continue the fight, but could not evade Pacquiao's onslaught, prompting the referee to stop the fight fifty-five seconds into the twelfth round.

With this victory, Pacquiao took the WBO welterweight title, his seventh world championship, and became the first boxer in history to win seven world titles in seven different weight divisions. After the fight, promoter Bob Arum stated that: "Pacquiao is the greatest boxer I've ever seen, and I've seen them all, including Ali, Hagler and Sugar Ray Leonard."

The fight generated 1.25 million buys and 70 million dollars in domestic pay-per-view revenue (preliminary figures), making it the most watched boxing match of 2009.

Manny Pacquiao: Last 5 Fights (part 1)

Manny Pacquiao has been very successful for his past 11 fights that came after the Unanimous Decision lost to the great Eric Morales of Mexico (that was their first meeting for their trilogy that won by Pacquiao). Here I'm going to present, or re-present, the Pacman's last 5 fights; maybe from here we can come up to a conclusion on who is going to be the underdog (and who's not) if/when the mega-fight Pacquiao-Mayweather will take place.

Here are the last 5 fights of Pacquiao [starting from recent]:
- Miguel Angel Cotto | TKO in Rd 12 @ 145lbs
- Ricky Hatton | KO in Rd 2 @ 140lbs
- Oscar De La Hoya | RTD in Rd 8 @ 145lbs
- David Diaz | TKO in Rd 9 @ 135lbs
- Juan Manuel Marquez | Split Decision @ 130lbs

All those fights had graced the resume of Manny as he had climbed up the weights, more than enough for him to be the pound-for-pound king of boxing. Now, what happened to those fights, let's take a look:


Unfinished Business|Rematch with Marquez

On March 15, 2008, in a rematch against Juan Manuel Márquez called "Unfinished Business", Pacquiao won via a disputed split decision. The fight was held at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. With victory, Pacquiao won the WBC and Ring Magazine super featherweight belts (as well as the lineal junior lightweight title), making him the first Filipino to win three major world titles in three different weight divisions (Pacquiao was a former WBC flyweight champion and former IBF super bantamweight champion). However, with his Ring Magazine featherweight belt, Pacquiao had de facto won four world titles in four different weight classes at this point.

The fight was a close hard fought battle, during which both fighters received cuts. Throughout the fight Márquez landed the most punches at a higher percentage; however, the decisive factor proved to be a third round knockdown, wherein Márquez was floored by a Pacquiao left hook. At the end of the fight, the judges' scores were 115-112 for Pacquiao, 115-112 for Márquez, and 114-113 for Pacquiao.

In the post-fight press conference, Márquez’s camp called for an immediate rematch. In addition, Richard Schaefer, Golden Boy Promotions CEO, offered a 6 million dollar guarantee to Pacquiao for a rematch. However, Pacquiao ruled out a third clash with Márquez, stating: "I don't think so. This business is over." The reason that Pacquiao did not want a rematch was because he intended to move up to the lightweight division, in order to challenge David Díaz, the reigning WBC lightweight world champion at that time. Díaz won the majority decision over Ramón Montano that night as an undercard of the "Unfinished Business" fight.


Lethal Combination|WBC Lightweight Title

On June 28, 2008, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Pacquiao defeated David Díaz via ninth round knockout, to become the WBC lightweight world champion. With the victory, Pacquiao became the only Filipino and Asian boxer to win five world titles in five different weight classes, and also became the first Filipino fighter to ever win a world title at lightweight.[30] During the fight, which Pacquiao dominated, Díaz was cut badly on his right eye in the fourth round. After the bout, Díaz acknowledged Pacquiao's superior hand speed, stating: "It was his speed. It was all his speed. I could see the punches perfectly, but he was just too fast."

Bob Arum reported that the fight had made 12.5 million dollars (250,000 pay-per-view subscriptions at $49.95 each), earning Díaz his best payday of 850,000 dollars, whilst Pacquiao earned at least 3 million dollars. Official records revealed an attendance of 8,362 (out of a maximum capacity of 12,000).

Holding both the WBC super featherweight and lightweight titles following the win, Pacquiao decided to vacate his super featherweight title in July 2008.


The Dream Match|Against a Legend

On December 6, 2008, Pacquiao faced Oscar De La Hoya at the MGM Grand Las Vegas, in a fight called "The Dream Match". Pacquiao dominated the fight for eight rounds, forcing De La Hoya's corner to throw in the towel before the start of the ninth round, awarding Pacquiao the win via technical knockout. Pacquiao was ahead on all three judges' scorecards before the stoppage, with two judges scoring the fight at 80-71 and one scoring it at 79-72. Moreover, Pacquiao landed 224 out of 585 punches, whilst De La Hoya landed only 83 out of 402 punches. After the bout, trainer Freddie Roach stated: "We knew we had him after the first round. He had no legs, he was hesitant and he was shot." The fight would be De La Hoya's last, as he announced his retirement from boxing shortly after.

Presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank, Inc., the bout was scheduled as a twelve round, non-title fight contested at the 147 pound welterweight limit. Although Pacquiao went into the fight widely recognized as the leading pound-for-pound boxer in the world, some boxing pundits had speculated that 147 pounds could be too far above his natural weight against the larger De La Hoya.

Pacquiao received 15 to 30 million dollars (share of the pay-per-view), plus a guaranteed amount.

Tickets reportedly sold out just hours after they went on sale. Moreover, the total gate revenue for the fight was said to be nearly 17 million dollars, making it the second largest gate revenue in boxing history.

Pacquiao vs Mayweather blog posts update

My internet connection was down for 2 days, so sad I was not able to put some updates here in the blog. Net is OK and now. So let me try to assert some things regarding the two great boxers, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr., and regarding their possible mega-fight.

First of all I'm going to post bio infos for these two fighters.

Floyd Mayweather Sr: Manny Pacquiao 'can't fight at all'

Floyd Mayweather Sr. has issued a scathing assessment of Manny Pacquiao's boxing technique, claiming that the Filipino "can't fight at all". Pacquiao became a seven-weight world champion by defeating Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas this month, but Mayweather Sr said he had been unimpressed by the performance.

"You know what I took away from the Cotto fight? Pacquiao can't fight at all, man," Mayweather Sr said. "That man don't move his head … when Cotto still had his wits and was ducking underneath and moving his head, Pacquiao couldn't touch him.

"Pacquiao couldn't hit me if I was asleep. He is strong and fast, but that man can't fight. He throws the same combination."

Pacquiao's victory over Cotto has prompted calls for a showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr, and Mayweather Sr says his son would have nothing to fear.

"Lil' Floyd is miles ahead of Pacquiao in the skills department," he said. "If they make that fight, Lil' Floyd got something for him.

"Man, let me tell you something, man. [Pacquiao's trainer] Freddie Roach hasn't taught Pacquiao shit. That man still don't move his damn head and he's till drops his hands after he throws combinations.

"He can try that Superman shit of putting his hands in the air if he wants to; he would be flying all right. Pacquiao can't fight man, I'm telling you."

US cities fighting over Pacquiao-Mayweather

By Dino Maragay (philstar.com)
Updated November 26, 2009 03:54 PM


MANILA, Philippines – The biggest fight in boxing has yet to be made, but some key US cities have already waged a virtual tug-of-war to earn the rights to host it.

The proposed showdown between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. is such a massive and historic sporting event that a handful of cities want a piece of it.

Even Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum, who earlier vowed to keep mum on the fight details after negotiations reportedly started the other day, can’t help it but reveal the desire by some US cities and sports personalities to host the event.

"A lot of places want to host," Arum was quoted as saying by The Las Vegas
Review Journal.

Arum said among those who have voiced out their interest in the staging fight was Dallas Cowboys
owner Jerry Jones, who offered his newly constructed 80,000-seat stadium in Arlington, Texas. The venue reportedly cost $1.3 billion to build.

New Orleans has also joined the fray, flaunting its Louisiana Superdome, which can seat 70,000 rabid spectators. The city is so eager to clinch the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight’s hosting rights that it is willing to waive taxes for the bout. Read more...

Is New Orleans ready for the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather fight?

The buzz for the unofficial HBO Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao super fight is so high that representatives from different sports arenas/stadiums have shown serious interest in hosting the event.

Las Vegas usually lands all the big fights especially because of the money to be made at the casinos.

Places like the Dallas Cowboys Stadium, Yankee Stadium, Staples Center have all been mentioned. Recently Bill Clinton’s former political adviser James Carville, a big boxing fan, has been very outspoken on his campaign to get the fight to Louisiana at the New Orleans Superdome. He’s even willing to talk to Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal about getting a tax waiver for the fight.

James Carville loves boxing and his intentions to bring the sports biggest event to his beloved hometown of New Orleans makes a lot of sense.

“There is an incredible narrative here,” Carville said. “This fight could signal a rebirth for boxing and the city of New Orleans. We could have one together.”

Rebirth and recovery is what New Orleans is going through, after enduring the 2005 Hurricane Katrina disaster which destroyed most of the city. Boxing is going through it’s own rebirth and recovery, once a top viewed sport in the United States, it has dwindled in the past couple of years with very little media coverage.

Boxing is far from dead. It’s just that the great amazing fights never really get any mainstream media attention. Only the die hard fans of the sport got to truly enjoy the epic battles and thrillers of recent history such as the Raphael Marquez vs. Israel Vasquez Trilogy, Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Juan Diaz, Diego Corrales vs Jose Luis Castillo 1, Shane Mosley vs. Antonio Margarito, Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Rogers Mtagwa, the list goes on and on.

Boxing on an international scale is still very much alive and well. Boxing has suffered some knockdowns, but they are not ready to be counted out and just like New Orleans both are ready to rise again.

Pacman is negative for steroid use... again.

What can you say now Floyd Mayweather Sr.? How about you Pauli Malignaggi? Or you Kermit Cintron?

Manny Pacquiao is simply a great boxer, it's obvious that there are always people who are jealous, or might as well envious, of what the Pacman has achieved [and going to achieve]. There are always people who wants to pull him down with their failures, they never appreciate. As a means, these people are accusing the pound-for-pound king for using illegal drugs in keeping himself stronger and dominant against all his opponents. As Pacquiao is writing history by his record-breaking achievement, seven titles in seven weight divisions, the number of people accusing him of illegal usage of things to enhance his performance on his fights grows by number everyday. They might be wondering why Manny is capable of doing things that he had just done.

The accusations are often based on the fact that Pacquiao struggled with lighter fighters in the past, such as Juan Manuel Marquez, and is now running through world champions at a higher weight than he started at. The flaw with this argument would be that it implies that Pacquiao is a tiny fighter who bloats up like Marquez did against Mayweather.

Although he is small compared to some of his recent opponents, he isn't too small to carry the weight the right way, and has looked ripped and lean rather than bulky and sluggish as he has moved up. It may also be the case that as he has started to earn more and more money, he has simply been able to improve his training and diet, the end result of which being what he looks like now.

The biggest explanation of all these accusations however is simply jealousy by people who could not achieve what Pacquiao has in their own careers. Note how the accusers are all boxers or former boxers, all of which who have struggled with success. Pauli Malignaggi was outclassed and embarrassed against both Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto who Pacquiao beat easily. Mayweather Sr. was Hatton's trainer for his fight against Pacquiao, where an elementary error not corrected by his coaching was exploited by Freddie Roach. Kermit Cintron has no real motive to try to badmouth Pacquiao, other than that he is of course far less successful.

Vegas wants Pacquiao-Mayweather event

While big-time boxing promoters Bob Arum and Richard Schaefer had come up to some negotiations in ironing out a deal for a 2010 mega-fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr., officials in Las Vegas, Nevada are scrambling to keep the showdown in their state. A possible Pacquiao-Mayweather event would likely be the largest-grossing boxing match in history. Predictions for the pay-per-view sales alone have reached as high as 5 million.

The pride of the Philippines, Pacquiao, is the top-ranked fighter in most sports rating of the world's best boxers with Mayweather, of course, in 2nd. Both fighters are in their prime, Pacman is 30 and Pretty Boy is 31, and both fights at welterweight.

Pacquiao, who is 50-3-2 with 38 knockouts and holds the World Boxing Organization welterweight title, has been named the Fighter of the Year by the Boxing Writers Association of America in 2006 and 2008 and is almost certain to win it in 2009. Mayweather, who is 40-0 with 25 knockouts, was the BWAA’s Fighter of the Year in 2007.

Arum, who promotes Pacquiao, and Schaefer, on behalf of Mayweather, met in Las Vegas on Monday and agreed not to speak to the media.

The majority of the most lucrative boxing matches in the past 15 years have been held in Las Vegas either at the MGM Grand Garden Arena or the Mandalay Bay Events Center, both of which are owned by MGM Mirage. Officials of MGM Mirage would be interested in the fight and would likely be the frontrunner to land it for the MGM Grand if the bout is made.

Though Las Vegas has landed the majority of the major boxing shows in recent years, interest from venues outside Las Vegas in acquiring a Mayweather-Pacquiao megafight is very high. Arum has received inquiries from many venues, including New Orleans, and Democratic political strategist James Carville has phoned Arum about trying to broker a deal to bring the fight to the Superdome in New Orleans.

One advantage Las Vegas officials will have in landing the bout is that Mayweather resides in the city and Pacquiao has fought his last six fights, and nine of his last 12, there.

Richard Schaefer, Bob Arum won't comment on status of Mayweather-Pacquiao negotiations

Richard Schaefer and Bob Arum engaged a day of negotiations this week, related to a potential Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight next year, but don’t expect either one to divulge much about talks that could extend for several weeks. Read more...

Here is the banner for this blog that I've just created last night. Hope this will catch attention.

May 2010 is the target of HBO for Pacquiao-Mayweather

Nine days after Manny Pacquiao's epic victory over the Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto, camps of Pacman and Floyd Mayweather had a meeting to negotiate for the two boxers to meet for the much anticipated fight of the century in the world of boxing. HBO's target date of the potential blockbuster between the two welterweights would be sometime in May 2010.

Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, is representing Mayweather in talks with Bob Arum, founder of Top Rank Inc. and Pacquiao's promoter, sources confirmed.

Intro: Pacquiao vs Mayweather

I've been trying to write something about Manny Pacquiao fighting Floyd Mayweather ever since the title 'pound-for-pound king' is just floating around, I mean back when the boxing world is somewhat confuse if who is really boxing's pound-for-pound king.

We all know now that the Pacman is the pound-for-pound champion; a record breaking seven titles in seven weight divisions, that is simply extra-ordinary. Mayweather, on the other hand, used to be the one who held the pound-for-pound title and yet still undefeated; and still claims that he is 'the one'. With the talks and claims of Pretty Boy Floyd, many boxing fans would really want to see a fight between this two great fighters.

In this blog I am going to discuss things regarding these two boxers' road to their 'fight of the century' meeting. If it is really going to happen or not. Also, in this blog I'm going to re-post articles from other sites, bloggers or feeds about these two great people. Your opinions, thoughts and ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
