if ANYONE else has the wins & accomplishments of AB they'd be considered legit. But AB is held to a different standard.
Whenever he pasts their tests (Ponce, Demarco, Paulie) they move the goalposts and name a new fighter he needs to beat to be legit.
He's legit.
People are stupid.
Wins over Ponce (disputed), DeMarco, and Paulie aren't legit tests?
What it boils down to is personal dislike and haters not giving him credit.
I'm going to LV and bought closed circuit tix at the MGM Grand. It's going to be fun watching the fight w/ 12,000 fans.
In my opinion, it's worth it. You're not there live but you'll still get the crowd experience.
That's not a strategy, it's like saying "you have to outspeed Pacquiao" or "you have to out-punch Golovkin" or "you have to out-hustle Hopkins". Mentality and confidence don't mean **** if you don't have the ability to pull it off. That's some motivational speaker nonsense, not a viable boxing strategy. All you're saying is "you gotta be smarter than Floyd, give him different looks", typical sports bar talk, while showing some gifs of fighters who had limited success for a few rounds. There's no substance, just fantasy, like your avatar and signature.
Well no *** it takes more than just confidence to win a fight. That goes with saying duh. Which is why I went into specifics boxing strategy. If you don't know what "different looks" means then I don't know what to tell you - because it doesn't sound like you know what that means.
Seems like you think you can apply this strategy (attack a guy at his strength) to everyone and you can't do that. It's not a uniform strategy.
And if you read my post, I comment that said fighters had limited success because they lacked the mentatily to stay sharp and focused over 12 full rounds - and just like that, we're back to mental fortitude... Again, it's not the end-all-be-all but if you don't think mentality can win fights then you're dead wrong. Tim Bradley, Diego Corrales, Arturo Gatti, Pryor, Leonard, Douglas.... all guys that prove you wrong.
That's your strategy? Out-think Floyd?

Absolutely.
You have to have a winning mentality first of all. If you go into a fight with Floyd thinking, "He's too smart so I can't play chess with him." Then you've already lost. You've conceded. You need a winning mentality AND you have the confidence in your own game to fight him head on.
We've seen it before -- you CAN have some success with Floyd by setting up your offense with a jab and laying some traps. Forcing him into the role of the aggressor -- but Floyd WILL adapt, therefore, you must adapt with him. Give him different looks, start feinting, etc.
You are highly overrating his skills he is a big puncher who is able to close the distance on people because once they feel his power they don't throw with enough authority to keep him off. Defensive wizard he is not.
Couldnt agree more.
Think you missed my point there homeboy... Im saying he pulled out the Alexander fight twice, yet somehow I know there won't be any "injuries" that postpone his 10 round rematch with Carson Jones in Hull.
Dont forget Kell Brook turned down written offers to fight Mike Jones when he was champ on two seperate occassions... Coz he wanted Pacqauio apparently lol
Kell Brook is an overhyped euro-level fighter who sells out the Sheffield arena and lines Eddie Hearns pockets and thats how they'll keep it. Alexander wins a boring decision. Berto stops him. Guerrero stops him. Bradley dominates him. Malignaggi UD's him. Shiiiiit Randall Bailey would most likely spark him after he gassed mid-rounds lol.
Great post.
You know exactly what that means. Did he ask for more money when he fought Khan? How much does he think he should get. He knows when he gets KO'd his career will be heading downward. These guys talk like they really want to fight Broner but in actuality they don't because they know what they are gonna get. A beatdown
Spot on :fing02:
I don't agree with that at all. I believe maidana would beat broner and he does deserve a huge purse. This coming from a huge broner fan. Maidana has earned his right to a big payday. If I was him I would beat Lucas and fight money in the spring. That's how I would market him if he can beat Lucas which I think he can.
How has Maidana earned the right at a big payday? Beating JSK and Jose Lopez?????
Don't be a Penis rider. Maidana has the resume to dictate terms and because broner is must see tv doesn't mean broner is Floyd mayweathr and can bark out terms. Broner has t done a damn thing to dictate anything. Maidana is must see tv to me
What has Broner done? Won 3 championships in 3 weight classes. Also, he's the most watched boxer on cable TV....
Maidana pulled **** numbers for his fight with Lopez.
