He means in the sense that he'd have to go through hell to beat them. If he could make good money fighting easier opponents then he'd do that instead. Roy Jones adopted a similar strategy.
Such a pus*y attitude. And Roy Jones did not adopt such a strategy, he fought the competition who were man enough to step up to him.
I had heard of him before in the news and in the media, but the first fight I saw of his was against Manny Pacquaio earlier this year. It's actually the fight that first turned me into a boxing fan (and no, not because the fight was ultra-exciting or anything, but because I was sucked in by the hype and decided to watch it and as a result became more interested in other boxing matches and whatnot...)
He'll be a lot more appreciated, but a lot of folks will still criticize him for playing it too safe. Opinions on him will probably be as polarizing as they are now.
Somewhat, but it doesn't really feel like a new era just yet beause I fully expect Floyd to return and Arum's already discussing the return of the Pacman this Fall.
These cats are always calling Golovkin out, only to conviently back out because they feel they aren't "getting the money they deserve" (even though for most of them, it'd be the biggest payday of their careers.) :lame:
This. IS. UNREAL. 3 freaking days before his comeback Jones is OFF of UFC 200.

Who's the chick in your avatar?
I thought Porter got robbed personally. It wasn't a blowout, but I thought he looked the more effective one throughout most of the fight to deserve the decision. It should have been scored a draw at the very least, and a rematch should definitely be held because nothing was really proven Saturday night (I'd say the same thing if Porter had gotten the win.)
Thurman should rematch Porter and then the winner of that faces the winner of Garcia and Berto in a title unification bout after both sides face a mandatory challenger in-between.
This type of crap is what's ruining boxing and what's helping the UFC. The best are supposed to fight the best (that's what we're getting tonight with Thurman vs Porter), not duck them just for a bigger payday later on down the road when one of the competitors will be a lot older.
Brook said in March after knocking his mandatory out that he was looking for the bigger fights. So Khan can STFU. Brook is the #1 ranked welterweight in the world, undefeated, a world champion, and if he wins his title unification match with Jessie Vargas in September, he'll be holding two belts at 147 instead of just one. What title has Khan ever won at 147?
lol **** this. Golovkin should just move up in weight and forget all about Canelo. It's clear they never want the fight to take place until GGG grows old and his skills hopefully (in their mind) start deteriorating.
you're fat bro.
you really cant talk about weight class because if you're 253 now, the only other possible weight class for you if you stop being a fat tub of lard is cruiserweight.
slight offense.
Chubby, not fat. You can't even tell the gut I have unless you're at least 8 to 10 feet near me. And I think I'd still almost certainly be a Heavyweight considering I doubt the weight loss + muscle gain would put me below 200 pounds.
What's your opinion of the slow motion video brigade ? They only want it for one fight. I am sure Marquez would want it in all his PAC fights.
But, slow motion video? Yes or no?
I haven't went back and re-watched it in slow-mo, but I find it hard to believe that a fight that one-sided had the judges missing so many of Pac's punches connecting that he actually deserved to win the fight over Floyd. I know Pac tards are still suffering through the seven stages of grief and haven't quite made it to the 'Acceptance' stage yet, but they'd be better off sticking to their "Pac was injured and deserves another shot" mitigation rather than pretending a slow motion video actually proves Manny won.
Can you provide a link to your source for Floyd fighting a fan?
I was joking in regards to the likelihood that Floyd will choose an easy opponent for #50.
Fight a couple more names at Middleweight and then move up. The great ones all move up. Challenging the winner of Ward/Kvalev would be pretty ballsy, but it would definitely be an admirable thing to do.
The #1 spot is still vacant imo. Whoever unifies the division (which they all seem to be expressing an interest in doing) will be the new king at Welterweight.
Floyd ruined your life. You should start a recovery group, and move forward in your own life.
Hardly. You don't see me on here obsessing over Floyd, or posting slow motion videos proving he lost.
Ali and Foreman actually were gonna have a rematch... Ali just taunted Big George and made him earn it, and that whole 5-on-1 exhibition nonsense was actually something that was set up by the two of them in order to provide hype for the upcoming rematch between them soon (Ali even did commentary during it.) But then Foreman lost to Jimmy Young, dehydrated, had a strange religious conversion, left boxing for ten years, and when he returned, Ali was already old, ill, and long retired.
I suppose he could have granted him a second shot right away, but when you dominate and finish your opponent (especially someone thought to be unstoppable like Big George was back then), you can't really fault them for not doing so. Knocking your opponent out doesn't really demand a rematch like the way having a close fight would of.

Would ya look at that. Well analyzed bro
Yeah... no.
He wasn't falling, he was leaning forward on his toes to punch without being flat-footed (that way, he could more easily jump back if he saw a punch coming), and he got caught. Don't try to interpret it differently from what it is. The whole thing happened so fast in real-time that one can barely even tell their feet even touched unless they did a snap-second shot of it, thus there was no magic trip that had anything to do with him being KO'ed.
You Pac tards will go to any lengths to make excuses for your boy losing.
White americans dont watch boxing cuz they cant relate
Where are the white american boxers? Like in any division, theres next to none which is pretty pathetic.
Theyre all in the UFC, so its no wonder North america are gravitating to UFC. If they could even produce one half decent boxer in any weightclass above Superfeatherweight he could attract a lot more casuals, like Kelly Pavlik did.
This has nothing to do with anything and you know it. There have rarely ever been many white boxers around, yet a large number of white folk still are big fans of boxing, including myself. Come off it.
