Im not trying to hate here Im just curious if you have ever been disappointed in any of Floyds PPV's and which ones. I won't personally pay to see him fight, but I can't begrudge anyone that does. Please vote and discuss.
ditto. the funny thing about people complaining about floyd's performance against baldomir is that before the fight it was BALDOMIR, according to some, that was going to do "this and that" throw all these "real" welter weight body shots and slow floyd down and blah blah blah. he didn't do any of that! so why not blame baldomir? since he's the one that didn't deliver. he was reduced to walking around the ring looking like a clumsy ass cave man getting punched square in the face.
Instead of blaming Baldi for not trying harder they want Floyd to try less. Dumb.
nope not one...i enjoy watch a man of his skills fight. he fights smart and intelligent.

i didnt buy any of them thank god lol but watched all of them either at a friends house or bar. i was dissapointed in the de la hoya fight (hyped up piece of crap fight) and also the baldomir fight (how that was ever a PPV is beyond me!). The other 2 were what i expected...
What did you think about the Marquez fight, Dan?
Sure it wasn't incredible but I enjoyed it.
Taking away the obvious size differential it was amazing to see someone outskill JMM so significantly.
Mayweather is a great, great fighter. His skills are immense and I can enjoy watching that, even if the fight is a little too one-sided or boring.
I'm not going to lie though, when it comes to who I would rather pay to watch out of Floyd and Manny, its Pacman all day. Still, I enjoy and appreciate both for what they are.
I voted Oscar and Baldomir.
Baldomir because it was just plain boring. I agree that in this fight, as a big Floyd fan, I would have liked to see him open up a bit.
The Oscar fight I was disappointed with but not really due to any fault of Floyd. I thought Oscar would ask more questions than he did, rather than just let Floyd totally control the fight and canter to an easy win.

Has everyone voted? Any more comments?

It doesnt matter who you put in front of him he will most likely the best fighter in the ring.
Its Floyd. You already know how he is. He selling a fight. You arent a casual fan you should know better. Hes promising beat downs for the casual fans not guys like us. Shane just promised to knock Floyd out. Do you think its going to happen? Hell no. Its Shane hyping up the fight.
Floyd isnt the only fighter in history to say stuff then do otherwise. Ali is great example he was wrong in a lot of his poems..lol.
He dominates people with his boxing skill. Baldi and JMM combined won ZERO rounds. Thats skill. He doesnt have to fight like a wild man to dominate people. Thats what I appreciate about Floyd. I dont want every boxer to fight the same. I want to see knock outs Ill watch Valero. When I want a pure, perfect display of the sweet science you watch Floyd. If you are watching him to jump out your seat you got the wrong guy.
This is a good post Burner.
Pure boxer my ass! Only flomoidiots keeps coining that term just to justify their manlove on floyd...
Majority of the people who WATCH BOXING WANTS TO GET ENTERTAINED AND NOT TO LEARN HOW TO BOX!
Throw that pureboxing nonsense out as it's been played out so thin already!
Um thats what he is a PURE BOXER. Hes not coming to pretend to be Edwin Valero. Thats not his style. I dont watch boxing just to see knock outs. One of my favorite fighters of all time couldnt knock anyone out: Winky Wright.
Only one of those fights listed that I actually paid for was the Oscar fight. I was slightly underwhelmed by that one.
I watched those other fights but didn't pay for them, so no complaint. I was definitely pissed the fuck off that he even fought Marquez at all though.
You are 35 and still cant recognize a PURE BOXER when you see one?

Ceilings,I was watching Larry Holmes whipping ass when you were in diapers or not even born yet. I dont like pure boxers. I couldnt stand Pernell Whitaker. I dont like Paulie Malignanni,Chris Byrd,Winky Wright,Andre Dirrell,Yuri Foreman or any other dude who gets in the ring and is afraid of mixing it up. I realize the object is to hit and not get hit. However,those dudes are boring. Especially considering the $$$$ they can make. It's okay to get hit. I want to see my favorite guys get hit. I want to see how well they react to it. It shows me how tough they actually are. I appreciate skill but I also wanna see how well you take good shots. I wanna see if you come right back at the guy. That shows me the warrior spirit. Afterall,that's how we as fans envision these guys. As really tough dudes. Im convinced that floyd is a pussy inside. He just happens to have great handspeed and accuracy. Which he got from great genetics and being born into the game. Kids been in a ring since 4 or 5 yrs old. Floyd should have the skills he has. I just wish at welter he would show us more of his handspeed and accuracy. Pot shotting is for hos.
I got that # from my head. How can anyone not want to see him lose? What's to like about floyd??? He's an arrogant,insecure,fake ass dude. He has skills in the ring but he refuses to go for it in the ring. No boxer who is safety first and overly defensive,deserves the $$$$ he makes. Many guys could play it more safe in the ring and get hit alot less. Now,if he were a high volume puncher that barely got hit,I would have a far greater appreciation for him. To me and many I know,he's a chicken shit that fights scared in the ring. He talks like a lion and fights like a kitty. I must admit,my disdain for him has developed since he became a welter. He was a great lightweight. When he moved up in weight,the scared lil boy in him came out.

90% where did you get that number from?

I voted for the Baldomir fight but now thinking back on it, it wasn't all that bad. You should of put "were you disappointed in these Floyd PPVs". He has had other PPVs like Gatti and Judah and those were like his best. All in all I think he does a good job. It isn't his fault that he has been pretty much head and shoulders better than his opposition.
You're right, I should have. That was a mistake on my part by only picking his PPV's since winning the welterweight belts. The judah fight was pretty good and I wouldn't call it disappointing. The Gatti Fight Floyd put on a show and outside of Gatti losing it was very entertaining.
90% where did you get that number from?
Yeah it could be off, i think maybe around 30% wants to see him get beaten black and blue, 60% are casual fans like me who thought they'll get entertained and then robbed and...
The 10% are the flomos like you and the so called sweet-science-purist-my-ass-in-denial-flomos here.
Im glad you asked that. I buy them to watch floyd lose. Just like 90% of the people who buy floyd's ppvs do. JMM was the absolute last straw. I wont be buying the Mosely fight. I will go to a bar and watch it for $5. He doesnt deserve any more of my cheese. Fortunately for him, alot of people dont like him or his ppvs wouldnt do shit. That fake thug routine works well for him.

Why do you keep buying his PPV's than?

I selected JMM,DLH and Baldomir in the poll. All three were boring. If only lil floyd would let his hands go more. However,that's a lil too risky for the lil guy. His style isnt spectator friendly. We pay that dickheads bills and he bores most of us to death. Floyd needs to grow a pair and go for it in the ring !!
