Why do fighters with power get hyped up without proving themselves?

b cause they white... lol

I prefer watching Lob City over the fuck ass Pacers that's for sure. http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/926697/BLAKE-GRIFFIN-DOMINATION.gif

translation. why do non slick...non - boring style get so much love. the agenda is quite obvious from TS.

I'm not quite sure why fighters with big KO records are so routinely dismissed as just heavy handed brawlers - as if setting up and knocking out a guy who's trying to do the same to you doesn't take a special type of skill or somehow the only way of being skillful is to pick apart a guy over 12 rounds, I'm quite sure Larry would be ecstatic if Floyd was getting KOs in every fight and would explain at great length how they were the result of Floyds incredible skills - which I don't think anyone is questioning. And whilst Heavy Hitters do unquestionably get people excited, Broner got as much or more hype - certainly way more than Kovalev - without being seen as a particularly big hitter (although his KOs were undeniably a source of much praise and excitement amongst his fans - so perhaps he should also be on the list).

would u rather watch shaq dunking on ppl or tim duncan laying it up/off the backboard?

Posters on here hype up Kovalev and GGG and were hyping up Mattysee and none of these 3 have done anything to deserve the hype... mattysee is the only one to step up to world class comp and got his ass kicked in from over over 2 million people and you still have people making excuses for him....GGG and Kovalev have not beaten anyone close to elite and GGG even refusesd a Ward, Lara fight but chose to fight Chavez jr?? really and this is ok?? But when elite fighters fight other champions it is somehow called a cherrypick? even if they move up and fight other champions?? this forum is confusing and ridiculous. I was really going to respond to this, but then I say your sig and I said to myself, "what of Floyd really did hit Mann with that vicious straight right and drop him like warquez did, NSB would go crazy!!!!"

The same reason you hyped up Broner. His style appealed to you, same way puncher's style appeals to the masses.

Because knockouts are exciting and hard to do, so when a guy comes along smashing everyone like Samuel peter, ggg, Tyson, kovolev, mayorga, etc people tend to pay attention more and be in awe.

Was Mike Tyson hyped? I was JUST about to go here next.

Was Mike Tyson hyped?

Who the **** said that??? Yeah, please tell us. Who in the blue hell was saying this? :lol1:

He is a WW champion isnt he? When Maidana beat Broner wasnt the majority of this forum saying he would do the same to Mayweather and Floyd would duck him? They where saying he figured out "the shoulder roll" and do the same to Floyd....And thats who needs to fight floyd? I was on here listening to all that BS then he became a cherry pick, lol at least he has a belt:nutkick: Who the **** said that???

Boxing is like baseball. There's a saying called chicks dig the long ball! Meaning the girls love home runs. In boxing, fans love the knockout. It is what it is. As for the fighters u mentioned..... Kovalev wants Stevenson but he's being a *****. GGG wants the best in his division but Sergio is fighting Cotto. And Lucas didn't get his ass kicked. Danny beat him but he didn't kick his ass the way Chino did Broner. That's kicking a mofo's ass.

Let's be honest, 75% of this forum doesn't root for style, they root for flag, shade, and dialect. This man knows what's up. And this is the sad state of affairs.

If Adonis didn't duck Kova, he could have destroyed the hype though, right??:thinking:

Floyd has beaten OVER 20 CHAMPIONS, and top fighters you guys always saying this person or that person is gonna beat Floyd then when he embarrasses them, "they wasnt anything". heres an example Originally Posted by PAC-BOY Guerrero will beat Floyds Ass Up! FEAR! They know He will be relentless on Floyd. Duck him Floyd Duck him! Originally Posted by Matty Ice Guerrero over Mayweather by KO or wide UD. Sig it. Originally Posted by JmH Reborn Guerrero will make Mayweather retire after 5 I actually feel bad for Mayweather taking this fight...Showtime is about to drop him like a bad habit! Originally Posted by PAC-BOY Floyd is scared to death of Guererro. LOL Nobody thinks they will lose until they lose...thats what confidence is. what a dumbass. Guerrero showed he can bam and Floyd wants no pert of the risky Guerrero. The Ghost will haunt his ass! Plain and simple you guys say these guys are gonna beat him then he white-washes they asses then they are cherry picks:lol1: So Maidana is the best opponent out there for him, okay.

I like technical boxers and punchers but there is nothing like watching a boxer hurt his opponent and then moving in for the kill, it gets me shouting in excitement every time. But Larry why do you support Floyd so much when he clearly takes low risk fights and doesnt fight all the the top fighters out there.
