That's what happened when u hang with the wrong crowd!! Floyd will probably end up the same!!
Saw this video of Floyd boasting of his jewellery and money, looking at the men at the background, i was like 'no wonder he had his jewellery stolen before'they appeared jealous,surprised and out of place,then floyd turned and ask 'why are u guys looking at me like that ? Well man it doesnt take a rocket scientist to tell u that, these guys u hand round with aren't rich like you, and it only takes a fool or a desparate chap with a gun to end it all.
I have always respect Floyd but if these people he shows his wealth to, trust me none of those bodyguard could protect him, he is going to open himself for robbery and serious injury.This is America, anyone can own a gun and it takes one bullet.
Why cant they advise him to be careful, counting millions on a plane, with fred billionaire, in his house.Who doesnt know he is rich ???
We live to learn from all this ? Why do we use past experience to teach people way forward in life.This tread is not about a tribute to his life (Camacho), is about coke and people behaving badly
I was watching some of the old fight he commentated on and i felt so sad and asked my self without him how long are we going to deal with Jim Lampley and the other guy's bias commentary.It always seems to me they are prep up before the fight to see only the punch their favourite guy throws.No wonder people say always watch this fight with the HBO commentary off.
Emmanuel always saw things from a trainers perspective whereas the other guy act like they 'national commentators supporting only their team.
They should consider bringing back guys who have either coached before or box before like Foreman/Roy jones etc.
Rest in peace Emmanuel.
I used to believe this guy until he went to war with Klitchko with one 'bullet'.A boxer of that magnitude not able to adjust and waited all night to throw one punch was very bizzarre to me.
He is old now but i have always suspected his corner to a little bit inexperience !!!
I have a feeling all this set up between floyd and 50.
Arum protect this guy like a president of United States, thats why Koncz sleep on his bedroom floor do you think 50 can take him away ?
I think is all hype for the floyd flight.
We are not kids
listen here new guy, everyone knows guerrero is gonna beat Floyd for 11 rounds and stop him in the 12 with 8 seconds left.
so let it be.
I really like your response !!
He never made any adjustment when Wlad neutralise his main strategy for the fight, wanting to land the right.I thought he could have thrown a lot of jabs whiles boxing in circles...
He hangs around a lot at the ice cream bar in Osu, part of accra in Ghana or sometimes drives in a white open top mercedes with some friends who obviously looks like a bum.He is actually a nice descent guy though
Thats exactly how i saw it.Sometimes people struggle to put emotions aside when it comes to boxing.Why was the arena quite all the time until pacquiao lands something ? Until they turn off commentary and see the fight as it is,they will keep crying
Is amazing how Floyd talent has so far been understimate, this guy is a real ambassador of sweet science, he comes in and follow the fight plan.I think he will make pacquaio looks so untalented.If a guy of shanes calibre,a future hall of famer only had a half of round to make an impression, when he had Naziim in his corner and Roach is only looking at that as basis of his student beating floyd i guess he needs to check his credentials well.
I believe Arum knows through his match maker that pacquiao wont win and for business sense he should be made to fight within his promotion to maximise profit, for a promoter thats what keeps him going.Do you think he cares about pac legacy,he cares only about money.. Else he would have made this fight happen, roach only sees things on a trainers point of view cos he trains guys around all promotional companies whereas Arun sees things from Top rank point of view...
Pac will loose.
Of course he will be scared.This is Ariza talking,an expert is defying the normal convention . A guy who is good at helping an average /smaller fighter knock the hell out of average welters..Is only a matter of time that all will come out of darkness
We all cant over rule the need to be concerned and aware of HIV , but what do we get from reporting a low level English fighter in pure boxing forum about his involvement in the epidemic.
Are we going to hear bout next time when he uses condom ???????
One punch
Merchant hit the nail right on the head. If Floyd is SOO GOOD and expected highly to beat Pacquiao with ease then why the sudden demands for serious drug testing, why now.... If your in the check cashing businesses and this is probably the biggest payday of your entire career, why throw it all away with this drug testing nonsense.. Its just seems to fishy that he would want that all of a sudden against a man that has been putting fighters to sleep, rest on their stool, or knocking out..
You guys dont realize that it only take a punch to end someone life in this brutal sport of boxing.I wish Merchant stop talking from his vodka mind and realize the consequences of cheating in the sports of boxing..People have been caught in the past,there is a tendency to cheat in every sport with boxing being one, so if someone somehow suspects something is not right, why dont they look into it.I guess NAVADA was testing whiles guys like shane was slipping through the whole, what makes you think someone like Pacquaio cant improvised a way round the current testing system.Cheats are always ahead of the game.,
Is it for the money !
Saw him loose unfairly to Danny Green in Sydney.Is sad a legend has to carry on like this ! Has he misappropriated his money ? Is IRS on his ass ? We will never know !!
Why do boxers carry on so long after their prime !!
You are right Bro, even a hand gesture by an a soccer player based here in UK which he thought was an anti establishment gesture caused so much uproar that the sponsors of the team pull out their sponsorship.The only reason was that they thought his gesture was anti semitism and guess what the sponsors were jews as well.
If floyd makes any comparison with Arum to anything he will go back into his jewish shell and make floyd look racist.....
You are right, when i first came here, i was convince manny has been robbed , then i watched the fight,obviously without the HBO commentators and i was like what are all this fuss ????Bradley won this fight, why was the Arena so silent of they thought their guy was whipping him ??
Kid got destroyed, wow lmao
About Billions lmao
Floyd Mayweather's dad said it that Broner will abandon his shoulder roll if he gets tested and that he has seen smaller men even given problems in the gym, guess what , it has all being proven by a slow banger !!
You are right.Even the world Anti doping agency who administers the olympic style testing will admit that the drug cheats are very illusive thats why their system can detect over 150 banned substance through the urine and the blood.The good thing also is because the samples are always stored for certain numbers of years, if there arise any suspicion in the future or any mode of testing is developed, they can go back and run the checks.
Ask my why Marion Jones, Colin Montgomery were all caught after the Olympics ?
I think Las Vegas athletic commission should step up a bit.
Another Bernard Hopkins Blablabla.Go back and watch how Amir was whipping him until he got caught, that will be the same blue print Mayweather will use without getting too close and comfortable....Another ass whipping is in the making if only he is not looking for a payday
I think anyone who followed Floyd carefully realized in his last interviewed that, the moment the guy mentioned TMT ,Floyd also mentioned his promotional company.
I have always wondered what was in it for Floyd, Ellerbe and all those bunch of guys who followed floyd and if they will suddenly let someone take over and sold on his name and reputation after many years of hard work and dedication.
THIS IS LONG BUT I RECOMMEND YOU READ FOR YOUR OWN BOXING EDUCATION
LET ME SCHOOL YOU ALL
Mayweathers strategy for this fight will be keep his lead foot on the outside of Pacs lead foot and constantly be moving away from Pac's straight left. Should Pac throw a right hook to move Mayweather in the other direction....Floyd will shoot a straight right followed by a left hook. He will prob do that anyway. That is how you fight a southpaw....str8 right lead followed with left hook. Its also better if u can beat the fighter to the punch. See the Judah fight. Ledermans comments were bang on. "The guy gettin off first is landing the better punches"
Now that is the reason Roach is worried about this fight. Conventionally you should not throw a straight right lead against another orthodox stance fighter. Floyd does it and gets away with it all the time. So if he can use it successfully when "conventional" wisdom says not too.....he sure as shit can use it when the conventional wisdom says YES.
Lets be clear here.....Pacs best chance is in the first 3 rds. A southpaw has an advantage in the first 3 or 4 rds of a fight because they are accustomed to fighting orthodox fighters (right handed), whereas most orthodox guys rarely fight lefties. This is why Mayweather had trouble early on against Judah and Corley...but once he figured them out and adjusted he began to break them down.
The reason Pac has gotten better is because Roach has taught him how to throw that right hook as an offensive weapon in its own right and to set up the straight left. As a southpaw having a right hook will make you a much better fighter. A more complete fighter......for further proof see martinez. He is a good southpaw because he has alot of tools/punches in his repertoire.....ie. see the right hook that floored williams.
I see this fight unravelling only 2 ways:
1. Floyd has trouble with Manny early and maybe gets caught cold and goes down and dosen't make it up OR loses a decision by the time he figures out how to go about his business.
2. Floyd has trouble with Manny early and gets caught a few times...but manages to see everything coming and takes the heat off and is never really in danger. Manny wins 3 of the first 4 rounds. Floyd starts making the necessary adjustements in timing and punches that work.....he keeps moving and poitshotting 1 or 2 shots at a time....frustrating Manny and weating him down to a UD....winning 7 or 8 out of 12 rds. Maybe if he catches Manny with a str8 right to the chin with soime heat an Manny does not see he will put him down in the fight.
Very good assessment , been thinking of that too but Floyd being Floyd, he might come in with a whole new game plan to surprise us all.There is a clear indication his camp knows alot that we casual fans are not aware of and that has always been the case with floyd.His styles varies with almost any fights he goes in.Compare Gatti fight to corralles, then look at the Ndou one and Chavez.Like Roger mayweather keeps saying alot of people dont know Sh....t about boxing, i just get mad when people lets their emotions take over how the sweet science is analysed and talk crap all the time.
