I've got tons of respect for B-Hop. His lifestyle is an example for all 40+ people on how to live a long and healthy life. But I'm sorry, his style is AWFUL to watch now! It's worse than it was 10 years ago. That one-punch & grapple, cagey, mongoose style undermines the sport. I cannot root for that and I don't care if it's effective enough to win rounds. He cheats the fans out of good fights!
I have no problem, if B-Hop loses. In fact, I'll be relieved.
This is hilarious lol! But all kidding aside, good for Frank/Kellie. I don't know what's in any man's head, but if it gives him peace and harmony and doesn't hurt anyone...then go for it!
I love seeing all the religious pact@%ds and macho homophobes exposing their ignorance and misguided morality by screaming blasphemy. It's your fear mongering and prejudice that is the only thing that's destructive to society. Maloney contributed more to the boxing community and to society than all of us put together. Like anyone, he deserves his peace, no matter how strange or weird it is.
Some really insane comments on here.
Your "faith" is supposed to give you strength and inspiration, not discriminate and denigrate people, especially if they are contributing members of society.
Faith does give strength and inspire. Especially since its faith in something good and wholesome not in lifestyle choices that are debasing.
The bible never condemned slavery. In fact, it's okay. You cool with dat, bro??
Society sees it as hate speech. Manny is talking the truth actually. Its love speech when exposing the truth about sin. Manny wants to help the lost not accept it like society does allowing the person to slowly drown in their sin. Big different between world views and the truth thats in The Bible.
Can't argue with bible thumpers. Truth to them is an entirely different concept.
No one in boxing even questions whether Marquez is a cheater anymore. Once he did random testing (which wasn't even VADA testing), he lost.
He's the Sammy Sosa of boxing.
Hatton's analysis is accurate. He faced Floyd and was trained by Sr. But, it doesn't mean Floyd will win. He faced Pacquiao and Freddie was SPOT ON with his gameplan against Ricky. So based on Hatton's comments, it wouldn't surprise him if Pacquiao beat Floyd either.
I'd only give Khan a 25% chance to beat Floyd IF he had Freddie Roach in his corner. He'd give Khan a good enough gameplan to win rounds, but then as usual Khan would find a way to lose.
Gtfo! PAC does not have the same snap in his punches from the other fights. His language was suspect in the early rounds and he couldn't get him out of there! Floyd destroys manny sad but true.
SEE...this fool right here set Pac up to fail by expecting a KO...even though Rios was NEVER KO'D and as far as I can remember was never legitimately dropped.
A replay of Pac-Margarito was exactly what should have been expected.
It seemed like Manny could have had him out of there in the 12th but I guess his new holyman thing didn't let him.
Did the same with Margacheato in the 12th round.
Ricky is a sympathetic figure, so I'll root for him. I'm curious how he'll look in the ring at 33. His bulldozing style is already a negative for any fighter in his thirties and even worse for Ricky who has mental issues as well as weight and drug issues. A layoff is usually a plus for a fighter, physically. But in Ricky's case, it's a negative.
I swear I didn't ...if you changed the way you approach people I probably would,you type with rage and think that no one else is right except you..and it was a long ass text too..keep it short and simple.
Dude, you replied to me first calling me a "pacterd" and then the "crying" and "whining" parts. The bottle was funny lol. I think you read post coz then you'd be admitting that I was right to call you mad.
All mudslinging aside, I try to get my info from credible sources then like everyone else then determine what makes sense and what doesn't. Memo has the worst past of any conditioning coach out there and to couple that with a 38, now 39 yr old fighter is just bad news...especially if JMM ends up stronger and faster than ever. Those are major red flags...worse than any red flag on Pac, Floyd, Hopkins or any other fighter rumored about taking PEDs.
It seems that Floyd fans & Pac haters want JMM to win, just so Floyd-Pac doesn't happen. That's not what I and most boxing fans want. It's Floyd-Pac 2013 or bust. Nada.
yea what about the jew comment that roach made? how biased of you to leave that part out!! its on the video roach said effin Mexican and also said stupid jew to elli seckback!!!
so now what??
You're just playing the race card, when you know full well Roach is NOT a racist. He said something stupid after being disrespected AND physically assaulted.
He didn't call them "spi*s" or "ki*es". Who is gonna be politically correct after getting kicked?? Let's be real here.
Wrong. Manny can not fight at 140 right now. Cut that myth. Hed be a useless skeleton at 140. Cut the shyt man.
Floyd AND Pacquiao over the years have both grown into being legit welters. That cant even be debated. Please deal with it Pac is a welterweight and thats fine lol.. I dont know why holding on to the myth that he can fight at 140 helps you guys sleep at night.
I don't see any analysis in your statement. If a fighter fully hydrates to 148-150 on fight night, he surely can fight at 140. Many have...so I don't know where ur coming from other than just blowing off some steam.
Seriously though....... Roach just implied that he wants Manny to do something to make Mayweather bleed and no one is touching on that? This guy is crapping scuds right now. How desperate can you be to want Mayweather to bleed by saying
Roach has no clue whatsoever on how to approach this fight. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
It was Roach's gameplan with Oscar that would've beaten Floyd, if Oscar didn't run out of gas the last 3 rds. And the first Maidana fight proves that Floyd gets flustered from a cut. Floyd's cutman publicly admitted that Floyd panicked when he got cut and look at the result of that fight. That fight shoud've been a draw. No way Floyd won that first fight. Floyd fans were NOT confident during those two fights. And I was rooting for Floyd during the Oscar fight.
No. That's you making stuff up. You just heard Moonves wave off what you said. So why do you persist?
It's cool. I'm just checking if you would ever fault Floyd for anything boxing related. I think I got my answer.
For the record, I've criticized Pacquiao many times on these boards, especially when it comes to PED testing and picking fights. I don't think I've seen you criticize Floyd.
You realize there is more more money in the delayed rights then the actual PPV itself right?
I'm curious how you know this. Lewis-Tyson made over $100 million in gross PPV revenue. Can you prove that the replays alone generated more than $100 million since June of 2002?
In closing, neither one failed a test and they are both clean so stop trying to make Manny seem like a cheater. Oh, and by the way Nevada has stricter testing than USADA now as they now only allow a 1:1 ratio. Maybe that's why Floyd wants to fight in New York, it certainly makes sense. Before you call me a Manny nuthugger or some dumb sh*t, I am not a fan of either fighter to be honest. Both are clean, and Manny never refused to testify and get charged with obstruction of justice like Bonds did, they are nothing alike.
If both Floyd and Manny are "clean" because neither failed a test, then what's your stance on Juan Manuel Marquez?? He never failed a test either, but the evidence on him is the most compelling compared to any "clean" boxer. One punch KO power at 147 (never had it at featherweight), his age (39-40 yrs old), acne all over his chest, refuses VADA testing, and of course, Memo Heredia - unpunished dirty PED S&C trainer.
I just don't think never failing a test automatically makes an athlete innocent, especially when it is unanimously agreed now in the industry that commission testing is very insufficient. At this point, our judgement should be based on the evidence known on each individual. For probably a year now, I never hear or read about anyone (even Mexican fans) proclaiming about JMM being a clean fighter.
Amazes me that there are Mexicans that refuse to believe that Marquez might be DIRTY. The evidence to more compelling than any other boxer in the sport.
How do you know Floyd wasn't already preparing? He is the one issuing the rematch not Maidana.
Floyd's ONLY edge is that he gets to choose his opponent. Maidana should be ready either way. It's like the horrendous excuse Lennox Lewis gave after he fought Vitali Klitschko that he only had "2 weeks" to prepare after Kirk Johnson got injured. As if Vitali was preparing for Lennox for 6 months. No excuses.
Now if Floyd still tries to dictate Maidana's gloves, then that's a legit issue.
Youre right. Maybe he's looking to make things up for them but its Mayweather we're talking about and all he cares about is himself so probably just trying to get more money for himself. I want to know though how much that maybe affecting Showtime/HBO's negotiations.
If that's true, then basically Floyd is hiding behind SHO. I really hope that's not the case. I don't think SHO wants their fighter to say he won't commit to a Pacquiao fight unless SHO gets a "fair deal". Floyd does not and should not know SHO's business. He just needs to know his guaranteed purse and the final PPV buys!
Hopkins is usually this humble AFTER a win, especially when he has disrespected his opponents many times before their bouts. This made his humility disingenuous and I was always critical of that. B-HOP has NEVER been this humble after a loss. He has never been the humble loser....until now. Time for him to retire.
Nah. PAC is past prime. The coward would win.
I think it would be much closer than people think and a hard fight to judge because it would be constant flurries vs. counterpunching. Without clear knockdowns, those fights are a nightmare to judge.
Great interview lol
Calling Ariza a "cancer" and "bad karma" is genius and probably the truth. Mayweather probably hired Ariza just to find out if Pac was on something back in 2009. Hopefully, the random testing squashes any notions of PED's for this fight. But you never know. The delay in signing the agreement also delays the the start of PED testing and helps any cheater that could be tapering off PED's. We all know who delayed the signing.
Every single Marquez thread.....

How come Marquez fans on these threads refuse to defend or even address his PED allegations?? I'm curious. All they do is hate on Pacquiao. And before JMM KO'd Pac, these same fans accused Pac of PED's non-stop!
I'm a Pac fan and I think he's totally suspicious of PED's during 2009 (Hatton & Cotto fights). At least Mexican boxing fans admit that JMM is a juicer. But where are the JMM fans?? IMO, you don't lose credibility as a fan by being intelligent and addressing legitimate suspicions. You gain credibility! Refusing to address it and just hating on Pacquiao just makes you a troll.
