the funniest one i remember was in the castillo-mayweather first fight when the ref told them to calm it down, and Merchant started screaming "WHAT DO U MEAN CALM IT DOWN!" "I THINK HE NEEDS TO CALM IT DOWN!" lmao, anyone who heard that shit knows what im talkin about, it was hilarious, merchant was amp, he would have socked the ref right there if he could of...
When floyd mayweather let his wack ass friends rap b4 the corrales fight about how hell beat corrales like corrales beats his wife, they were wack but i actually think they made corrales so mad and so did floyd by takin so long to come to the ring that it through diego out of his game a lil bit...
I have this gut feeling that Jhonny's hands will be raised in V.
i agree, gonzalez will beat vazquez, just like he beat montiel, but mite ko vasquez...
I like Tyson coming in to "Ambitionz az a Ridah" by 2Pac all the time. I thought whatever song Taylor came in to fight Winky was the gayest ring entrance ever. How do you get everybody, including yourself, pumped with a gay song like that?
lol...i didnt like that shit neither...but i guess thats what he wanted
Because he isn't a knockout artist like Tyson or Foreman, and he doesn't have the instant name and face recognition of SRL and DLH, it is going to take a great fight for him to win the public's adoration. He may be the most talented fighter of the current generation; however, the general public is not enamored with boxing talent. They don't want to see twelve round shutouts of overclassed fighters. The people who don't haunt forums like this, the fans that keep boxing mainstream, want to see closely contested fights. It could be that PBF is that good; so good that he can't be tested. More than likely he isn't fighting those opponents that can test him. I am not advocating any fighter in particular, just one that will test the limits of PBF's talent. I understand his desire to make money. That is his right;however, fighting Carlos Baldomir, although a legitimate fight due to the belt, is not going to propel him into the public eye any further than he is now. Until he takes the fights that test him, he will be relegated to the status of a wealthy fighter who is the most talented fighter of his current generation, future HOFer, but not legitimately named with fighters like Ali and Leonard.
great post i totally agree, good karma for that
i think gatti should keep fightin, he has more left in his tank then vargas, vargas should quit skills not there, back hurts, etc...gatti looked freshed but just got beaten by baldomir, plain and simple... gatti can go backdown fight the winner of hatton urango, vivian harris, the winner of corley-witter and those are fights i think theyll all be interested in...vargas cant go up in weight cause hell get ktfo by taylor, abraham or miranda and maybe even ktfo by wright but if not definately dominated for 12 rounds, so vargas should hang them up, he looks worse then gatti even though gattis been through more wars vargas has been through beatings by heavy punchers, and the trinidad beatin was enough to make most fighters retire...
I feel floyd won many of the early rounds and just a couple of the later rounds, which was enough to have him win the fight. Castillo came on very very strong later in the fight, but in all honesty, i think the key was the 11th round, when floyd stood right in front of him and decided he was going to take the fight to him. Regardless what HBO and other detractors think, i feel floyd did enough to win. The 2nd fight shut down all doubts as he obviously had castillo figured out.
I think the second fight and the fact that floyd took it showed me that he even thought castillo beat him the first one and wanted to prove it was just a fluke so he came out and made adjustments and beat him in the second one, but that should have been a trilogy well never be able to see cause the wrong man got the first fight, and everytime i watch the first castillo-mayweather fight i dont see anything different, just floyd gettin beat, and i like floyd, just lately his choice of opponets has been botherin me, but it doesnt change the fact that he may be the most talented fighter in the game...
And to add...personally...if Castillo landed as many punches especially power punches as the stats say, Floyd wouldnt have even been standing, alot of those punches simply did not land.
compubox has nothin to do wit me thinkin castillo won, i never pay attention to compubox cause there always off whether it be a little of a lot, for example taylor didnt hit wright as many times as they said, and vargas didnt hit quartey as many times as they said, they tend to count a punch even when a fighter blocks it wit his glove...so compubox isnt what made me score the fight for castillo, watchin every round and pickin who won it is what i did...
mayweather losing to baldomir would be a good thing in my eyes. it would shake things up a bit. think about it. if baldomir beats pbf, then we have a possibility for a nice little rematch set up. and maybe even a rubbermatch.
besides, i personally can't stand him as a representitive for the sport of boxing.
obviously you are entitled to your opinion, but what country a fighter comes from should not really matter. taking that view is quite narrow minded as i see it. me, i just want to see good fighters making good fights/match-ups. i also find that many(not all, of corse) american fighters have a pompous, asshole-like attitude. i would rather root for a nice, respectful foreign fighter than a brutishly arrogant american fighter. i simply want to see a fighter fight. if i wanted to hear a couple of people verbally tearing down each other, i'll pop in some old battle rap.
i agree, i like seein respectful fighters...who respect the sport of boxing...and on top of that mite i add floyd should be walkin around wit a 1 on his loss column, cause castillo beat him in the first fight regardless of what his fans think, and even most of his fans think castillo beat him, so i dont see floyd as an undefeated fighter like some of u mite...hes been beaten before...
How the hell does that show that Floyd thought Castillo won? That is so backwards. He took the fight because some guys like you thought Castillo won and instead of you giving him credit for a rematch, you diss him. Meanwhile a guy like Hatton has a similar fight in Callazo and is scared shitless to have a rematch. I guess that means Hatton really thinks he won?
If a fight was close and some people question a win then a true champ gives a immediate rematch. They dont hide & say they easily won, or that they rather have a bigger fight and then end up fighting Urkal or Urango?
my whole point is floyd doesnt fight for no one except himself and supposedly money, he dont do it for the fans or for the critics he could give a fuck less, if he did it for the fans and critics wed see him fightin margarito on nov 4th or he would have already fought margarito, so theres no way he fights for the fans or to shut the critics up, he fights for himself and money...
That logic is flawed, if he didint take the fight people would say hes scared, so he takes the fight, and you still think that somehow FLOYD thought he won? He took it to shut people up who think that he made up excuses or that Castillo won it. I dont doubt one second that Floyd thought he himself won the fight.
I understand your opinion about the fight, and i respect it, but you cant use logic like that. Winky thought he beat Jermaine, but didint jump at a remtach, now look at how people view him in some respects, you understand what im saying here?
with winky he was heated at the time, now hes ready to do it again, and taylor said wait...and im not sayin every fighter that makes a rematch happen thinks he lost the first fight and wants to prove himself, i just think thats why floyd did it, cause he doesnt come off as the type of fighter that would fight somebody again just for the fuck of it, or just because people are talking and sayin shit about him, and definately not because people are claimin he's duckin, i mean look at Margarito a lot of people are saying hes duckin antonio but floyd doesnt give a fuck, if he fought for the fans and gave the fans what they wanted he would have fought margarito already, so i dont think he took the castillo fight to shut people up, if so then why not shut the margarito stuff up? because margarito hasnt beaten anybody? but who did Henry Bruseles beat to get a fight wit floyd? thats hypocritical in my view...
I never insulted any of you or said "I was gonna fuck you up"
thats talkin hard, Sparky!
I made a good joke and your boyfriend couldnt handle it
only a coward & a fool threatens ppl online
LIKE I SAID
DEAL WITH IT! :boxing:
its not a threat its just something i would really want to do to u if u lived close so please dont post in here no more, this is for people who want to show respect not a flamin thread or a thread for immature assholes to post stupid uncalled for jokes, so just stay out of here man...
put urself in another forum coz u aint wanted here,ur avatar sez it all,u absolute cok
i agree...dont even post in here if its not showin respects or addin something positive to this thread...theres no room for any of that...
Too bad the kid couldnt use his defensive skills in the car :cool:
fuck u bitch, how can u make a joke out of such a tragedy, u show no respect, and ur true scum for a comment like that...
Too bad the kid couldnt use his defensive skills in the car :cool:
im really shocked that anyone could actually joke about this, i would smash ur face in right now if i could, u are definately as low as they come man...
they'll still pick holes into your post man. dont even try to convince them anymore.
I feel u, and i know i cant convince them, im just statin the facts, his opposition in the last few years and as big as some of these cats make it out to be...
LOL its funny and stupid that for de la hoya he put genaro hernandez wanst an elite, but against floyd after de la hoya has already beat him he was elite??? thats stupid, hes either elite for both or not for either...
He wasnt P4P the best when he fought Bruseles, Ndou, his status his situation wasnt the same. he worked for in the ring by beating those fighters. He wants to be greatness, u cant keep doing what u were doing, u got to step up. Some things I did at 18, i wouldn't do now. It's called growth, he is bigger now and he into big things. If margo wants to be big named then get it in the ring by fighting real challengers that are above what he has currently been fighting. There is whole list that wanted to fight him: Williams, Ouma, Winky, Collazo, Zab, Quintana, Rivera. He got his chance now to show and prove that he worthy. So what is he going to do, FIGHT CLOTTEY!!
Yes He was p4p when he fought bruseles, if he wasnt then beatin gatti, and mitchell wouldnt propel him to p4p, he was p4p when he entered all of those fights so u clearly dont know what ur talkin about, floyd has been p4p for a couple of years now...and if he wasnt the fighters he beat in the last 2 years wouldnt make him p4p, they all had loss's or were coming off loss's and all lost there big fights against big names and some didnt have big names on there resume at all, to say that him beatin gatti made him p4p is stupid, cause hes been considered in by a lot of people p4p even b4 the castillo fights and after...
calm down internet tuffguy...put this sappy shit into another forum :boxing:
it aint about being a tuffguy cause im not, its just about wantin to fuck u up for makin immature comments and showin no respect to a man thats passed away in a tragic accident, the fact that u can say something like that shows what type of person u are, and karma is a strong thing, so remember that while u type these rediculous messages...
i remember watchin this fight a lot when it first happend, and then about 2 weeks ago i watched it, castillo edged it out to me, a draw wouldnt have been that bad, but i think jose deserved the nod...
wow this thread got outta hand.
people should be talkin about what they think of the kid and how tragic the death was. not makin petty arguments about some kids horrible attempt at a joke. just ignore it
I cant just IGNORE IT, because im bein who i am and thats how i feel, i knew richard, so its easier for someone who doesnt know him to say just ignore it, but not for me, i cant tolerate it cause it makes me mad that someone can joke about such a tragedy...
i think de la hoya quartey because quartey had bigger rounds against oscar then oscar had against tito, but thats just my opinion, there both robberies, but i dont like the way oscar fought tito, call it boxing and thats coo he did box, but he ran to, even though i thought he beat tito hands down i think he could have and should have knocked tito out had he used his jab to set up his left hook without movin so much...
The bad thing about Floyd's resume is not the names because almost everyone on there is a name opponent who either had the potential to be great or was good enough in their heyday. The problem is...they are usually fighters coming off losses.
Sosa had lost to Spadafora in his last big fight
Corley had lost to Judah in his last big fight
Bruseles you say was coming off a draw
Mitchell was coming off a knockout loss in his last big fight
Judah was coming off an embarassing loss in his last fight
The opposition is fine....IF THEY HADN'T JUST LOST. This is why people criticize Mayweather. The opponents are good ones, but the fact that they are coming off losses when they fight Mayweather makes them losers.
I keep saying if anybody wants a shot at Mayweather, all they gotta do is lose first (this goes for Margarito, Hatton, etc, but not DLH or Mosley obviously)
i agree on that last part u said, they wouldnt be bad if they didnt lose and that all u have to do is lose and u can get a fight wit floyd, but the fact that they did lose makes me not capapble of justifyin what floyd is doin, and bruseles is just rediculous...and cant nobody justify his willingess to fight bruseles and not margarito...
