Mayweather legs are not gone, if you watch the fight mayweather dominated maidana in the middle of the ring and if you watch it closely, mayweather similar to broner was backing into a straight line without pivoting in this fight. This had nothing to do with aggression but intelligent aggression. Maidana threw lots of feints, changed the tempo and speed of his jab to confuse mayweather and threw that overhand right every time Floyd was in the shoulder roll. Maidana fought a great fight and I gave him 5 rounds but in a rematch if Floyd uses his legs he will dominated el chino the worst 9-3 but this is boxing, anything can happen.
It would take more than six months of sprawl training to defend against world class wrestlers (give it two to five years) these guys been training ever since kids in wrestling/jujutsu and six months is nothing, that's like saying six months of training to slip punches you can slip ALL of mayweathers punches even though he been doing this his whole life.
Also he would have to learn to defend against kicks (he could defend against kicks with a simple step back or side step so he wouldn't have to block or let the kick touch him) though he would have to drill this anyway and doing this type of training would be stupid. He would have to train to defend against kicks and wrestling which would take him two to five years and mma doesn't pay no where near the amount of money boxers make unless your Anderson silva or penn or lesnar.
Callozo just got knocked down
Khan Is dominating, just hope he keeps setting up everything with feints,non committing jabs and patience cause his chin is real shaky.
Will be boring for some fans but he will get the victory.
He hardly moves his head and when he does slip he doesn't counter.... He doesn't know how to adjusts, simply when maidana was catching him with fients and the hook and overhand right he coulda just took a step back, and during the fight he was backing up into a straight line and staying on the rope.
Floyd just doesn't backs up and duck punches and gets hit with hooks to the body which was Laras downfall. He doesn't know how to block or counter hooks to the body unlike Mayweather.

guillermo rigondeaux career thread, both the donaire and agbeko fights are in there along with every other pro fight hes had (i think) and a bunch of amateur fights.
Thank you so much bro, I appreciate that.
**** what Rigo's haters have to say really, at the end of the day he will stay fighting, keep on winning and that's that. Rigo doesn't have to change his style or his personality so other people can like him, just keep on doing what your doing rigo and win or lose,you have done tremendous things for the sport of boxing.
Floyd is overly cautious, has great footwork and good head movement, the only ones I see beating Floyd can be pacquiao,bradley and maybe ggg if they fought.
I think losing his 0 destroys him.He can't do his Floyd Mayweather impression anymore.Whos he gonna pretend to be now?
Not really, Ali lost his 0 to Frazier and was still relevant, let's just see what the future holds for broner.
No may weather does not trash talk no where near as much as broner, and mayweather won't be a sore loser and he will congratulate khan for beating him.
pacquiao is like maidana who is more quicker and with better stamina
Yeah your right Floyd is like broner but more quicker, better chin, better endurance, better head movement, better footwork.
Your right, what people dont know is that the key for the shoulder roll is being good at evading punches with footwork and having great head movement(these things broner lacks). Broner also leans his head back too much and if he were to duck or slip maidana's punches instead of leaning back he could of landed some serious counters that would of stun maidana.
Even training with Sr, it will take Broner at least two years and a half for him to become good at using footwork and head movement to evade and counter. Also broner has to want to change his style and train his ass off for hours solely on defense if he wants to become as skilled as mayweather.
Having a young American male heavyweight with George Foreman' power, Ali's ****iness, Nicolino Locche defense and Sugar Ray Leonard speed and he has to win all his fights by knockout before the sixth round and have no losses.
Or Ali can finally come out of retirement.
I would rate it as a 5, to be a good counter puncher you need to know when to take a quick step back, and when to pivot out of the way so you won't get caught in the corner or ropes.
Broner could of easily avoided those feint punches by simply taking a step back and pivoting to the left or right.
Unless said boxer is just a masochist -- no boxer in his right mind would surf this board.
In only the world of boxing fans can a boxer at the world level be 30-2 and be considered a bum. Or win 27 straight with 20 KOs in a span and then lose a fight and be considered "exposed". Or have one loss TOTAL on your resume and you're somebody's "leftovers". Or sweep all 12 rounds in a UD and you were "scared" because you didn't go for the knockout.
There's some real good, knowledgeable fans on this site, but you gotta sift through mountains of trash to get to them.
One of the best comments I have ever seen on this site.
It's that blackness. Roy Jones beat James Toney and Bernard Hopkins. Montell Griffin beat James Toney. Roy Jones beat Montell Griffin.
You know damn well what I mean. Black fighters have that rhythm, that speed, that athleticism.
Bernard Hopkins said what I'm saying. He said this in an interview after Mayweather-Canelo. B-Hop was talking about how blacks generally have a natural athletism, Mexicans generally have naturally good chins, etc. He was talking in general. You know what I mean, knock it off.
You also have to know that Hopkins said and this is true,it's the boxing culture that makes them Different. Basically the school and boxing style u were trained and raised to fight in, not any type of athletic ability besides fast hand speed and power.
It's Watson's kids
They look after fighters but not in the same way Al Haymon/GBP pay off judges to protect their fighters
Word I was gonna make a thread like this..... He's on the broner,mayweather and garcia bandwagon
If Lyle Fitzsimmons wants to ever be allowed back to watch AB spar, he wont be honest and say he got his ass whooped. He started off by saying "If AB fails, it won't be because of slacking in the gym." That is what I equate to him getting his ass whooped in sparring. I remember the rumors of when I heard Errol Spence had him out on his feet during sparring and multiple people were there to confirm it and then they immediately they covered it up. I believe it and what Lyle Fitzsimmons is really saying is if Adrien Broner loses, it's because he wasn't slacking in the gym, its because he isn't what many people thought he was and that is visible in the way he's performing in the gym.
Lyle fitzsimmons he might be a descended of bob fitzsimmons.
Ricardo mayorga by farrrrrrrrr was the best. Priceless how he got under Trinidad,Oscar,Vargas and cottos skin. Can you imagine Ricardo vs tony margarito press confrence would be epic
Lol the funniest would have been a press with mayweather.
