Im hearing alot of people either picking Bruseles or think it will be a very tough or close fight. All Im sayin is when Floyd dominates this guy, dont try to downplay it like he didnt beat anybody because this board is famous for doing that. I say Floyd KO's him in 5 and no later then 7

Floyd will easily beat him. Who tipped the other guy?

You said alot of people are picking Bruseles to win or think it will be a tough close fight. I just wanted to know how many on here. Bruseles is a simple warm up for bigger things in my opinion. People always wanna see a great fighter lose but that won't happen with Floyd.

I agree but I think alot of people just dont like Floyd anyway and would love to see him get KO but that wont happened so they need to give it up

I can't understand why people dislike Floyd. He has amazing talent and is showing his greatness by progressing through the weights beating people down.

I think its gonna be easy fight for PBF. Bookies just hyping Bruseles to even the odds. Remember how many people picked Williams to stop Vitaly. Same scenario

Nobody on here is picking Bruseles to win, with the exception of his HOMEBOYS.

DLT......
You're just going to have to accept that Floyd is not that popular.
Whatever the reason, he just doesn't have a very broad appeal.

I know how great he is....how skilled....how difficult to beat.
But, I really don't get very juiced for his fights.

How does Floyd-Tszyu grab you if it happens in the future?

How does Floyd-Tszyu grab you if it happens in the future?



One of the best fights that could be made.
But....that doesn't go against what I said. Without a quality foe, I can take or leave Floyd.

Trinidad, Hopkins, Tszyu, Pac......I'd want to see them beating up nuns.

Quiet frankly I dont like Floyd either. But if Tszyu-PBF fight happens it will have a wide appeal because 2 pound for pound best fighters are gonna go at it not cause Floyd is so damn loved by people.

I know how great he is....how skilled....how difficult to beat.
But, I really don't get very juiced for his fights.


I feel the same way.Out of all the 140pounders,Mayweather still manages to fight a unknown fighter in Bruseles.It's quite obvious that PBF is gonna win every round,and dominate a lopsided boring fight.I'l be LMFAO if PBF doesn't dominate a fighter named Bruseles.

he can still make it exciting even if he dominates. Remember hopkins vs tito? that wasn't even competitive, but it was still fun to watch

Where do you get all that from off of what I said. I dont care if people dont like him, I was just stateing that they dont. That doesnt bother me one bit. It does bother me that people try to downplay his skills and accomplishments. Most dont like him because he is ranked so high on the #4# and over Zoo. They also assume that young fighters like Cotto and Hatton will beat him when they havent faced anyone. Everytime theres a thread about Mayweather against almost anyone the majority thinks that he will lose. There's even some who think that Chico would beat him the next time around. I think his last 2 fights have been exciting since he has become more offensive and I think this one will be too

The reason people downplay his skills is because he doesn't appeal to them....they WANT him to lose.


That was what I was trying to say....& that you'll have to understand you won't get many to change their tune.

This is simply a mismatch. I cant wait for Gatti VS Floyd that will be a great fight. Altough i think Gatti is to slow and will get used like a punching bag. (He does have one punch knockout power that is his one thing he has going for him)

"I cant wait for Gatti VS Floyd that will be a great fight. Altough i think Gatti is to slow and will get used like a punching bag. "


That certainly doesn't sound anything like a great fight.

All Im saying is that I know this and I dont want them to change their tune because when the fighter wins it makes it even more satisfying

If you don't want them to change their tune....why do you get into such heated debates with them on the subject ?

I have to defend these guys if no one else will. These boards are heavly populated with Cotto, Zoo, and Hatton fans. When it's a topic about Floyd it's usally just me and a couple of others against hundreds and I like the challange even know at the end of the day I will be outnumbered and I just move on

I feel for ya bro.
I've been in several forums over the years, & Floyd is generally disliked & doubted.

This may sound bold but I think people dont like floyd because he never lost.

People don't like Mayweather because he's boring simple as that. But for people to ignore the fact he has skills would be stupid. Also, it's how Mayweather dominates fighters kind of like RJJ did, makes for no drama in the fight. The guy is a very smart fighter in that he plays it safe but not making any silly mistakes. Just get the W, that's what really matters. That's why people didn't like Lennox Lewis as well, he could of took more risks in fights to get the KO, but unlike Wlad a big heavyweight like Lewis, Lennox stayed within himself. The guy knew his limitations, smart man.

mayweather has alot of skills but i think rjj was much more entertaining, floyd wont be able to jump up weight classes like rjj, 140 is already too much for him, everyone will see that when he fights a top 5 guy there

your right sweet alot of people dont like pbf because he is considered to some people as a boring fighter. and maybe all that stuff with sr left a bad taste in peoples mouth.

He was boring but he is more offensive now and his last 2 fights were exciting. I dont think he will ever have a boring fight again because he is more offensive

How can you say that 140 is to big for him? Just because he was stunned by a top 5, leftie, who caught him while he was swinging. Did you say that 140 was to big for Zoo when he got KO by Phillips?

Also give credit to bruseles if he wins...don't go then and say that Floyd isn't a real 140 pounder...

Even if Bruseles doesn't win but last the full 12rds he should be given some credit...I'll be rooting for Bruseles, but i'm betting on Floyd...

I'll definatly give him credit no matter what. There's nothing wrong with losing to a top #4# guy and if he wins then I will give him his props. Im real man and I dont make excuses espically dumb ones because Ive been saying the whole time that not only is he a real 140 pounder but he's the best one

Cotto: Bruseles by KO!
By Karl Freitag

WBO jr welterweight champion Miguel Cotto spoke to ********* moments ago about Saturday's Mayweather-Bruseles fight and more:

What's your prediction for Mayweather-Bruseles?
Bruseles I think. I trained with Bruseles for three or four weeks. He trained very hard.

What are Bruseles advantages?
He's a real 140-pounder. Mayweather goes all the way down to 126. His best is at 130, 135.

Knockout or decision?
If Mayweather stays in and fights with Henry, it's a knockout.
Tell us about your next fight March 26 against Demarcus Corley?
I know he's a good boxer, but I'm working very hard to retain my championship.

Do you want to fight Mayweather?
That's not my job. My job is train and fight. That's the company's work.

I've only seen floyd fight once, in the ndou fight, and that was really exciting, so i'm interested. how can he be boring? He was really kicking ass in that fight.

I don't like him because he is a ****y arrogant little cunt. He is also a hypocrite to boot. That is why I like Tszyu, the man is all business, he doesn't need to tell people how great he is in the third person ala Judah, Lewis, Mayweather, Jones and many more. Sure they are all great fighters, but they suck as people. I guess I'm the type of guy that doesn't care for endzone dances while I watch football or **** talking fighters while I watch boxing.

Thats Bull ****. Everyone tries to make Zoo sound innocent. He talks more **** then anyone. He always talks about how he will destroy people

I've never heard him do that. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. One thing is for sure, the rest of those guys never pass up the opportunity to do it.

So, they all do it. I know Floyd is a littile ****y but this is the fight business and alot of them are. Look at Ali. I think you should think that your the best. That goes for life in general. Everyone is different and I dont want everyone to be humble all the time. This world would be boring if we didnt have different characters to talk about

I want to see Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight Cory Spinks..

I have a question for anyone who knows anything about floyd, how good is his chin?

ali was a ****y boxer also, nothing wrong with him

I have a question for anyone who knows anything about floyd, how good is his chin?
He's never been KO or even knocked down in a fight and he was never hurt until his last fight but I think that was because Chop was a leftie who caught him while he was swinging which alot of fighters have been KO that way

Every fighter has been shook up before. What do you do after that is what sets you apart.

The only time he's ever had to take a count was when his left glove touched the canvas, but that was from the extreme pain he was in from injuring his hands during the fight...he paused for a moment and his hands touched the floor, he has brittle hands..

I understand your point, I just disagree. Boxing is a business, if all these guys truly felt the way they say they do about their opponents their wouldn't be any fights. Two people that genuinely hate each other wouldn't make concessions to each other allowing a contracted fight. My point is this isn't the WWF, boxing fans are attracted to the violence and the sweet science itself, the other bs isn't neccessary.

What does that have to do with Floyd. Thats what we were talking about and I havent heard him say anything just ouright nasty about someone. Most of the times he's just bragging on himself. He might say that he can beat this guy or this guy wouldnt have any chance against him but nothing too bad

Then why are sites like **********.net so popular?

your right sweet alot of people dont like pbf because he is considered to some people as a boring fighter. and maybe all that stuff with sr left a bad taste in peoples mouth.

your an idiot, giving me bad karma on a post you didnt even understand. floyd hasnt fought a top 5 guy in the 140 division, that is fact not opinion, you cant disagree with a fact moron

i dont think floyd with knock him out....he can win a decision but i dont see no knockout coming.....

you give him all the credit you want BROTHA! :o

Bruseles is gonna get beat decisively. All that Cotto helped him prepare stuff is bull crap. No one outside of of hard core boxing fans even know who bruseles is. Its a hand-picked tune-up fight for a well managed fighter. Dont get me wrong I know Floyd is good and very skilled. But what i'm saying is it seems more like people are trying to hype his foe then actually downplay floyd's skills. The business plan has always been and still is for Cotto and Mayweather to meet after gaining the belts. They wouldnt put Mayweather against a fighter they actually think is dangerous if there is no "real" money and fame involved.

Bruseles will be to strong 4 PBF.............UPSET OF THE YEAR.


By KO in 9.

If Mayweather loses, there's going to be a riot here. Haha

If Mayweather loses, there's going to be a riot here. Haha
count me in, I'll be pissed if floyd lets me down

Bruseles will be to strong 4 PBF.............UPSET OF THE YEAR.

Ok, im not a big Floyd fan, and even I know that this is not going to happen.

Be ready Floyd will loss by KO saturday. :D

Be ready Floyd will loss by KO saturday. :D


I'm afraid that's nearly impossible. I give Floyd credit for his skills, but not for the opponents he's been facing. You can't claim to be the p4p king like he does and then NOT face top opposition. Hopefully it will at least be entertaining until Floyd butchers that poor boy.

What about Roy Vs Jhonson everybody was saying that was imposible........and what happend Roy was KO.......

So Floyd will b KO saturday.



"Nitro"

You're a ****ing idiot, and you disrespect a fine boxer in Miguel Cotto by having his name as your own. Put permanent posting priveleges on this board on Bruceles, or shut the **** up.

Are you man enough?

OOPS! You're not.

something on the line always makes people find out where their real feelings lie.

Mayweather is going to spank this guy like a baby.

Hard to believe people actually think Bruseles can win his record is peppered with nobodies. Cotto is pumping his head for a brutal beating. I think he is just using Bruseles to scout out Floyd for a future fight anyway. Bruseles = Lamb to the slaughter

I hate it when the best fighters fight nobodys damnit. I like Floyed but I guess hes just waiting for Gatti (should Gatti get by Leija). I'm looking forward to the undercard more then the main event. Big young heavyweights, hell yeah.

I bet 1 million on Floyd by KO. I see this happening no later than rd. 5

Only a complete idiot would pick Bruseles to win, so I don't know what you're talking about.

Hey he hasnt won yet or given another gift.

Hey he hasnt won yet or given another gift.
what do you mean

Hey he hasnt won yet or given another gift.
He's just mad that his girlfriend Morales got has ass kicked
