you should, I believe he will never lose in this era while in his prime.
I will bet in Vegas that Mosley will KO/TKO Mayweather come May 1st.
All you're saying/analysis are already know by other boxers.It's not like Floyd just invented the wheel.
Bernard Hopkins teaches those in The ring magazine:rofl:
as for PBF vs JMM
Number one / Numero Uno
Pac vs Hatton
Battle of East and West
What title would you give for Money May vs Pacman fight?
Manny Pacman VS Money Fukkedman
http://www.fightwriter.com/files/Andre%20Berto.jpg
Berto is my pick. I say he takes the fight in Turkey this year, rematches Collazo early 2010, and faces a fading Mosley late 2010, Cotto late 2010 or early 2011. And wins them all. A star is born.
Mosley's gonna eat him alive!!
a decade is a period of 10 years.
2000 to 2009 is 9 years...what dont you understand?
This guy is the most stupid of all the stupid poster on this site.
I'll bet or hope he's only punched drunk,Or else we're doomed. Coz we are communicating with a slug.:dunce::stupid:
HEY!!! IDIOT OF THE DECADE that should be your new name.
How?
Half of the decade he wasnt even ranked!
One fighter fights for the money Floyd and self HYPED!
the other fights for the people and glory. Pacquiao.
end........
a tune up? that whole thing was a r u m o r. Where did you read Mayweather or his team saying that he needed a tune up? you know what, nevermind that.
He has agreed to face Manny for the March 13 date, lets see what Manny does when he meets with Arum.
Run Manny run.....And sign the contract
hey people
I was reading a thread on the history forum about Kostya Tszyu, and one of the posters argued that he had perhaps the fastest, most accurate punch of all time(straight right) when thrown from point a to point b.
Perhaps a bit exaggerated, but Tszyu undoubtfully had firepower in that right hand...
now, im sure some of you may be of another opinion, so if you could name a few fighters who had a faster, more accurate single punch, this thread may be open for some debate??
i would say Joe Louis had a superb straight right. Maybe not the fastest, but extremely accurate and powerfull...
Tommy Hearns ...right hand why ...He lead with his left to paint the target first.
What do you guys think is the right way for manny to approach this fight?
Cut the ring in half and do a relentless attack,Since I think he can handle his punch.(Mayweathers punch is a little harder than Malignani):boxing:
I just saying, Floyd is gonna be a tough fight, so training for a Mayweather fight and running for the PI senate/congress/watever isn't the smartest idea IMHO.
having said that, I think Pac should accept 50/50, but should push the date until after the political campaign.
Well to bad for you...

When you talk about a man of his convictions, I immediately think of Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins.
BHop went to State Pen and to Penn State.
But I didn’t know he was an expert on geography until after beat overmatched Enrique Ornelas in his hometown of Philadelphia Wednesday night.
In a weak attempt at trying to salvage a rematch with Roy Jones, who was crumpled in 122 seconds Sydney, Australia, the night before, Hopkins was looking for some excuse for Roy’s crushing defeat.
“That’s why I never go to Europe (to fight),” Hopkins said.
Last time I checked, Australia was a continent to itself but apparently BHop believes the country is somewhere near Germany , France and Spain.
I know, Austria or Australia, what's the freaking difference?
Wait until he finds out “Wizard Of Oz” has nothing to do with the Aussies but features Dorothy, who is not in Kansas anymore.
On second thought, don’t bring it up.
Can you imagine his confusion if you told this rocket surgeon that there are two Kansas Cities, one in Kansas and one in Missouri.
Information overload alert!
Now I believe that guy who told me Hopkins likes to "conversate" with the lady's voice on the GPS inside the BHopmobile.

With...with all the ..the...the response to this thread I...I....I...ca..ca..can...can be sure I'm in a "bo...bo...bobo...boxing forum" and not in..in..in.. any literary or...or..or..scientific debating fo..fo.foforum.....
Recent examples of boxers bringing up their gods in the ring include Andre Ward after the Kessler fight where he refers to the Christian faith and Anthony Small where he refers to the Muslim faith during the build up of his most recent fight. Of course Pacquiao is probably the most prominent boxer now who regularly refers to a god, again conditioned under the Christian religion.
With many religious precepts now debunked by science, more and more people are beginning to realize that all religions are likely to be purely superstition, with no real evidence to support them other than a collection of far-fetched stories which compare quite readily to any other work of fiction.
Is it time that boxers leave religion out of the ring for good?
Interesting interview on the "god delusion" psychological condition:

What made you think this is true?....
Just because you could not see God does not mean God do not exist......
Reread what you just posted and try to understand it's context.
Religion should be in everything that we do.be in spirit or virtue.
There is absolutely no reason for this fight.
None at all. The only reason it is even being considered is that Arum and Roach are looking to carry the Pac momentum with an easy UD over the tough, but ultimately inexperienced and limited newly crowned paper belt holder Foreman.
This is TRUE CHERRYPICKING. I can't even believe this fight is being considered.
I mean who are they kidding? Sure, beating Cotto at 145 is a great win but you can't just avoid everyone and claim greatness. If you are going to fight at 154 where is Williams, where is Clottey, where is Mosely, where is Martinez? The very idea of cherry picking Foreman and clearly DUCKING Martinez and Williams in the 154 division is a joke. An absolutely sickening joke.
I hate to say it but:
Pac = Mayweather. Face it.
(Also, Angulo and Sergei would be getting ducked)
Pac should be ashamed of himself for cherry picking fighter "BIGGER" than himself!!!
you remember watching Sandy Saddler? and if you were old enough to watch Saddler, your next 'candidate' thru ALL that time is Margarito?
Nah,I used to watch them when was a kid on TV but they're already old boxing shows.And I saw the Sadler/Pep fight.
Poor Willy Pep he was mauled with lace and elbow.
Mike Tyson's ear biting incident is dirtier than anything that has happened in boxing....
Well besides Louis Resto's gloves:nonono:
Tyson earbiting incident is not considered dirty fighting since it's out of his frustration and rage perhaps.
What I mean by being a dirty fighter is cheating,low blows,elbows,glove lace rubbing etc. TO WIN A FIGHT.
Kahn on the card would be awesome.
Imagine a Gamboa fight then Kahn, then Cotto then the main event?
Shit would be INSANE.
That will be awesome!!!
Let's tell Bob!!
..................................................
I've none...
Tarver,RJJ,Gatti,Ward,Hearns Calzaghe,Mosley,,etc. I can but he did not register on my radar then.
Good fighters like Pacquiao can't beat Great fighters like Mayweather.
I mean yeah Pacquiao looks good against average to good opposition but Mayweather has fought and beaten the best fighters in and around his weight class.
40 have tried. 40 have failed. It's in the blood , it's in the blood.
Plus Pacquiao has never played basketball with Mayweather.
Absolutely!!
Who can beat him on a pillowfight.not :chomp:
I think Floyd motive is really the 10oz gloves. Any fight above 147 has to be 10oz gloves mandatory. He figures he goes with the 154 weght limit and 10oz gloves. They compromise to the 147lb weight and he gets the 10oz gloves. that he wans anyways....Lefty
They're going for 147 I can sense it and Mayweather does'nt want lighter glove. lest he got Ko'd too early.
Pacman may have asked for 145
Entertaining fight fan videos which, among other things, give views on Pacquiao's and Mayweather's ability to adapt their strategies during a fight. Who do you think can adapt best during a fight and why?
One have to admit Mayweather win this one but we should understand boxing matches are specific...The trainer will formulate a fight strategy to battle their opponent.Therefore we can't really say they have to adapt during the fight since they are already well planned for.
Has he??Because it seems to me that all these accusations are coming out of nowhere!!I refuse to believe that hard core boxing fans are buying into this!!All my life as a fight fan,I've been waiting to see a great fighter,truly great fighter, fight live!!In my lifetime,a legit fighter that can be compaired to the oldschool greats!!Now because 1 fighter who talked a mean game,but didn't provide $hit gets to talk $hit about a proven great fighter & his supporters entertain this clown,are fight fans that gullible!!
Was'nt he cheating on his wife?.
Well, it's a constant battle for these agencies to develop tests to catch new drugs, or uncover new masking agents etc. I want it as clean as it can get, which means using the latest tests and procedures to catch as much as they can. Stuff will still get through. That will always be the case, because cheating has been around as long as sport. Right now the world anti-doping agency is the so called gold standard for testing, so that is what boxing and all other sports should be following.
Blood doping is simply just that and is of separate system altogether.
Exactly. You would think people would do some research before posting stuff that can be argued away.
Here's why research before posting is very important sometimes...
If GBP and company is "insulting" the NSAC, then why did Arum suggest they try using the testing agencies that the NFL, MLB, and NBA use for their athletes?
It was reported here on BS. You can look it up.
Isn't that insulting to the NSAC too or not just because you're a fan of Pacquiao?
The reason I am saying they should sue the three is this,
They never tested Manny Pacquiao with any trace of illegal substance since he started fighting in Nevada which is about how many fights? 5 or six fight and yet the triumvivate suddenly came up with the steroids allegations.
This can mean that
A) their systems of testing is fallible and unreliable
B) their system can be corrupt and could be corrupted.or had been corrupted.
So, as a sports fan, you're telling me that you don't want to make sure the sport is clean? You're saying that because it wasn't done before, then it shouldn't be done now? You're basically saying "better never than late." Who cares if it happens because Mayweather wants it? I think he's an asshole. Doesn't make a difference to me. Boxing is not a clean sport, and I've been hoping they'd do something like this a long time ago. And do you really seriously care about the Nevada athletic commission?
How clean do you want it? how clean can it get?....Olympics have the same system and yet there are still athletes getting caught will illegal substance after the fact.what can it do to boxing right now?.All we hear is complain but not one shred of solution.
for cleaning up boxing and Manny Pacquiao will become the Mark McGwire of boxing, no "official" proof that he cheated but everyone will know it as fact.
Why and how?.
The current testing are working fine and there had been decisions and even overturned decisions made with regards to fight that have illegal drugs detected.
There is no reason they shouldn't have gone to the USADA. They test all of the USA's olympic athletes as well as implementing the drug testing policy of the world anti-doping agency.
Nevada should get on board with that program, but there is no way they'd be ready to do it for this fight. The Nevada program just isn't nearly as good as the one the USADA uses.
This will create a precedent and could cause a lot of problem in the beginning.If they are going to adapt then they should have been years ago.Not just because Of Mayweathers whim.
I agree it is a slap in the Nevada State athletic governing body.And they should be the one's suing Mayweathers,Schaeffer,GBP.
