So for all those so called "boxing fans" who think that a boxer's bank account and safety is more important then the best fighting the best please go and do us all a favour and watch a safe sport like golf.
A true boxing fan should want the best fights imo, I see too many posters on this forum saying that boxing is a business first so fighters should be trying to earn money instead of fighting the best fights out there.
Boxing is a combat sport, it isnt meant to be safe.I assume you know of a fighter by the name Ray Robinson, well he admittedly only fought for the money.
Don't let your frustration get the best of you, it has always and will always be this way.
140 maidana took victors virginity. He quit for the first time.
ATG Berto went toe to toe with Ortiz.Was raped by josesito for the 2nd time.Koed by inactive collazo in the very first round.
Considering Floyd sucker punched Ortiz, Floyd's win is clearly inferior to above listed,. I rate Floyd's win 2/10. Your thoughts?Well Floyd did warn him, if you make any mistakes you'll have to pay.
I don't believe this not one bit.
Manny does stack his wraps tho, he uses tape on his skin, then gauze, then tape.
But Tim already knows this, he said I in one of his media workout vids before the first fight. There's also a vid out about that same thing, but plaster NAAAHHH!
How effective is the pullcounter to a southpaw that rarely jabs?
Can Floyd also use the pullcounter when he is using a high guard? High guard is the easiest way to throw it, you can touch the incoming while positioning for the counter.
But I feel what you saying, you're assuming the poster doesn't know Floyd don't use the roll on lefties.
But the PC flows well on south paws in the high guard, but you gotta be sure that left ain't coming LOL
Manny didn't decline testing. He negotiated a term for something that had never been done before. Floyd didn't like it, and walked. Here, just to show you how it went.
F: I want you to take this extra testing that nobody else is required to do
M: Ok, but since you are asking me to do this testing nobody else has ever done before, I have a request of my own, I want a particular number of days cutoff
F: NO. I'm leaving. Its either my way, or the highway. Even though I have no type of proof that you have done anything wrong, I'm still going to say you have, so you have to do what I say in regards to this method which has never been done before.Well I don't know if you've seen the latest Freddie Roach interview, but he's already admitted it was their fault for not just taking the tests (it's on video).
But in a nutshell, why would you need to negotiate a cut off? It seems the trouble started not by Floyd asking for the test, but when Manny started trying to adjust and negotiate a way around it.
I'm not bashing Manny, but hind site has taught me he's full of ****. He all but accused JMM of steroids before the 4th fight, implying he's bigger and has muscles (Using the eye test). But isn't that the same test people used on him, ripped, no water weight, stamina boost and carrying his power up (and neither guy tested positive using standard testing).
Then he goes and fights Brandon using VADA, but the mystery surrounding if he really got tested surfaced.
THEN... He fights Tim, decides not to use VADA, instead they concoct a NSAC test?
There's just too much foolery to not give the guy the side eye, not to mention Freddie now saying Alex used to give him drinks before training, and never told Freddie what it was (Freddie's on video saying that also, in the same video).
Too many holes to defend, but have at it if it makes you feel good.
I've been watching these boards for some time now, and it amazes me how things have now switched up.
At one point it seemed as if EVERYONE was defending Pacquiao saying he was clean even tho he declined testing, and bashing Floyd for "changing the rules".
Now the same people who swore Manny was clean are accusing Floyd of using, the guy who initiated the whole drug testing thing.
It's just funny how things happen when you give it time to happen.
Mayweather Promotions co-promotes with Golden Boy, so who puts the money in the fight purse for 32M? and Maidana's 1.5M?
Do fighters fight in Vegas because the Commission holds the money?To be honest, I don't care who cuts my own check as long as it's cut and accurate.
....while they dont want Ward to move to 175 and fight Kovalev?
Is there a double standard?the better question is "Why are GGG stans afraid for him to move up"
At least he made somebody's top 10.
Well that's a lie, here's my list of list he'd make
1. Worlds dumbest business man
2. Best worst congressman
2. People who took drugs, refused testing and didn't get ****ted on in the press.
All Manny can do is hope to land and hurt Floyd, you can't learn to out think Floyd in a single camp.
If all the Manny fans cross their fingers, get sum Momma Pacquiao beads and do the 2 finger voodoo dance maybe just maybe....
