I will say it once again. No in-thread fighting, keep it in PMs. If you want to battle on PMs then fine, don't battle within a thread unless you are making points on the subject at hand. I banned two yesterday, I've been quick with the trigger.
lol Wow. How this place has changed.
On another note, Tyson is a disgusting POS.
I hate Floyd, but he has a strong case for being TBE. He has one of the best resumes of all time. In his prime, he was one of the most difficult fighters in history to beat (hell, past his prime, he was still one of the most difficult fighters to beat.) He's never been properly knocked down to the canvas like virtually every other fighter has. He's definitely a top five for sure, even if you don't have him at #1.
Pretty Boy Floyd before he became $$$$$ Mayweather.
PBF was fun to watch, but $$$$$ Floyd was not only boring, but outside the ring he was what me and my mates would describe as an "uppity negro."
Hopefully not. They need to either set a limit on this shit, or go ahead and make a Super Heavyweight division already.
A lot of guys nowadays are too large.
Like someone said, their first fight was both guys at 100% and Roberto Duran beat him. Leonard is on record saying he basically cherrypicked Duran for the rematch.
He won but he just barely won, and that was when Leonard chose to fight Duran at his own game. Repeat that - He lost a close decision victory trying to box Duran with pretty much Duran's own style. When Leonard used his own style of footwork and angles in the rematches, he schooled him both times.
whichever way golovkin wants. hes a better boxer, and i genuinely cant see how anyone could beat ggg in a war with his chin, power and stamina. i'd imagine he will pay canelo respect though and work behind his jab.
I see this happening as well. He'll break Canelo down slowly, much as he did Lemieux.
Because Joshua isn't rich? I bet the women don't even know who Mayweather is. Joshua has been all over the news since beating Klitschko.
But this is Floyd Mayweather! The biggest star and most important person in boxing history! How could whittle 'o Joshua be more desirable to women than Floyd himself? Didn't Floyd even say that he was more beloved in other countries than he was in America?
I know the chances are .00000001% but what if McGregor lands that Hallelujah counter and drops Floyd?
Then what?
You know the name of the girl in your avatar?
lol Boxing would probably never recover. Fair or not, rational or not, I honestly think it would change how boxers as a whole are perceived by the public.
This place, Sherdog (MMA forum), and Youtube would certainly be entertaining for the weeks following. To Flomos, it would probably feel like a loved one died or something.
No Mayweather isn't, people who don't follow boxing don't know who Mayweather is. :dunce:
Getting more love doesn't mean he's more known. :pat:
Enlightening to hear a Floyd fan say this, but you are wrong. Floyd was as much of a mainstream name as any, or else he would have never broken PPV records the way he did. He would have never had celebrities come to his fights. Like all crossover stars, the bulk of those who paid for his fights didn't follow or care about boxing if he (or to a lesser extent, Pacquaio) wasn't involved.
Denying that he was ever a crossover star is just asinine.
Because they know who Joshua is and probably don't know Mayweather. Are you thick? Joshua is a national celebrity, people that don't watch boxing know who he his. If this was in America it would be reverse.
Someone as rich as Mayweather is getting plenty, you're crazy if you think he isn't.
And Floyd isn't a national celebrity? The UK knows full well who Floyd is, let's not pretend that they don't. He even said he gets more love in other countries than he does in his own. Damage control out in full force lol.
that punch would've stretched you out. no doubt.
left hook. flush on the money. you would be sleeping.
lol Doubt it. I've seen boxers hit flush on the chin before by other boxers, they didn't go to sleep. Punching power and why fighters are able to absorb some punches but not others isn't that simple to quantify. It probably has a lot to do with what your overall brain chemistry is like at a particular moment, which is a whole other set of complicated circumstances.
ohh, but believe me, I do.
and it is called sarcasm, it seems you don't understand anything at all.
It wasn't a great phrase, it was a rigged one.
AS a matter of fact , it has taken me to where I am, and believe me you, I am doing quite good!
So you're saying you were being sarcastic, and that the remark was either not a witty one, and/or that you weren't being serious before about no one being able to spout that type of line on the fly?
Whatever you say, champ.
McGregor KO/TKO'ing Floyd in a boxing match. I see it happening a little over halfway into the fight (say around the 7th, 8th, or 9th round.) Come find and congratulate me when it does.
I am saying it was so well thought out that it was written before.
All the dialogue.
What is your major, idiocracy?
Nothing about it was slick or polished enough to think it was all written down beforehand. Golovkin saying Canelo will be his biggest and best opponent yet? Canelo saying luck is for losers? What's so special about any of that?
It was funny, not dumb. Davis been with uncle Al since 2014, when Davis had fought Hector Lopez. Davis wasn't even signed with Floyd yet nor introduced until 2015. I can't imagine Oscar knowing his roster of his fighters' opposition by heart. but it was funny doe
It was funny BECAUSE it was dumb. Don't mock your opponent's opposition unless you're certain it's actually their opposition.
Your victory over someone only matters as it pertains to what they were like at the time that you beat them. It's been four years since he fought Canelo -That's a lot of time for a fighter to improve. Granted, I don't think the result would probably be any different today, but still.
Golovkin will stop Canelo. Then Mayweather will return and pick Golovkin apart for his illustrious 50th bout.
That's been my prediction almost since the day Floyd "retired" nearly two years ago, and I'm sticking to it. (Ironically, I hope I'm wrong, though.)
They're just having fun throwing your own logic back at you. You scream racism almost anytime a black fighter is attacked, yet you have no problem criticizing fighters who are white by constantly pointing out that they're only as loved as they are because they're white.
"The Great White Hope" has always been a funny nickname to me, I can't imagine how triggered people would be if someone were to say that the other way around.
