Boxing: Too Pretty; Is Mayweather Too Cute to Get Hit?

Boxing's best:

The #1 pound 4 pound fighter in boxing, Pretty Boy’ Floyd Mayweather Jr. remains at the top of his game in the boxing world. Floyd, (36-0 24KOs) is regarded by many as the best pound for pound fighter of this boxing era. He’s captured gold at some of boxing's most glamorous divisions of super-featherweight (130lb), lightweight (135lb), junior-welterweight (140lb) and welterweight (147lb). Mayweather continues to display spectacular performances that make many question if there is anyone capable of giving Mayweather a run for his millions. At age 29, Mayweather is still very young in the sport of boxing. 

Floyd’s chances at Junior-middleweight (154lbs)

Junior middleweight offers plenty of risky opportunities for Mayweather. The fact that Floyd is making the jump north from 147-154lbs would call for extreme excitement. Fighters at 154lbs are switching from 8oz to 10oz gloves, a little bit bigger than welterweight and some of these boys can pop. Here are some of the names that have been mentioned against 
Mayweather at 154.

Ronald ‘Winky’ Wright (50-3-1 25 KOs) could give Mayweather problems. His defensive technique and lighting fast hands could challenge Floyd if he decided to be the aggressor. Winky is 2.5 inches taller, has a longer reach and always finds a way to make his style work. Not to mention, he is a very gifted southpaw who has already proven himself in the boxing world.

Oscar De La Hoya (38-4 30 KOs) presents a threat because of his strength. De La Hoya would possibly be the underdog but not by a long shot. The fact is that, although Oscar isn’t quite at his peak as he once was, if he catches Floyd flush, Mayweather will no longer be called, “Pretty Boy.”
