Calling yourself "TBE" and then taking a soft opponent doesn't really add up. However, Berto is just as capable as any of the others in the division at this point so I don't see the issue with the fight.
If Mayweather was serious about being remembered as TBE, he would have faced GGG. Bradley is the only one at 147 who wins a few rounds against him, but we all know that fight will never happen.
Trivia question: Who did "The Greatest" fight after the "The Rumble in the Jungle"?
Hint: A fighter that makes Berto look like the second coming of SRR.
yeah it's his fault for breaking his hand. red K for you too moron
First of all, I ain't watching the fight, it was a question. Secondly, when Rigo is outclassing an opponent, even if other fighter is being apprehensive. Others were saying it was boring because it was so one sided BEFORE he broke his hand. A double standard is a double standard. Sorry if I asked a question that hurt your feelings!
Wow, Lampley just said that Algieri was told that if he beat Provo, that he was next in line to fight Pacquiao. Wonder if that really means that Pac/Vargas is next?
difference between rigo and loma is, Loma goes offense first then defense
Rigo goes defense first then offense, and Rigo will literally go 20-30 seconds moving around the ring without throwing a single ****ing punch
Loma doesn't do that ****
Regardless...even if Rigo presses the fight and the other fighter is apprehensive, he was called Boring. Some here were calling the fight boring, so I was wondering if Lomo will be held responsible just like Rigo is in all his fights, even when it's not his fault. I bet I can guess the answer.
I'm guessing he forgot that Pacquiao already fought Cotto
Seeing that they fought under then EXACT same circumstances & its been said that Floyd beat a drained zombie in Canelo, should it be said that Pac only beat a drain zombie version of Cotto??
Floyd who is a very big welterweight can't win a title at 160 lbs how much more pac who is just a very small welterweight. Roger should have think more on how to convince floyd to fight pac not to hate pac.
A very big WW who weighed in at WW in the ring after Pac did and to this day still comes in the ring at a lower weight than Pac does sometimes?? Got it!
Roy Jones is TBE.
I would like to see Floyd fight Lara @ 154 if he beats Canelo. If not, fight Cotto at 160.
My question is this, can Pacquiao beat Lara @ 154, and Cotto @ 160? I think he loses to Lara, and has a tough time with Cotto @ 160 but wins a tough decision.
IMO Lara @ 154 and Cotto @ 160, are tougher fights for Floyd than Pacquiao at this stage of their careers.
You really think he beats him at 160? He wouldn't even fight him at 152! I think Cotto Ko's him at 154 or above.
I like Dirrell. I always felt he got robbed against Froch. Seems to not have the right people in his corner though. Even this footage posted serves as testiment to that. Cmon Willie Dirrell..bragging on 15 seconds of a sparring session..
You and everyone with eyes!
man you know damm well he dont have anywhere near that he has employees making a living and raising kids from his checks and thats real cool the only good thing that can be said about him .. next year will be the year like you said we will find out hopefully it works out for the better aslong as he doesn't try to pull some UFC type company
There an article a while back and the reporter said Mayweather showed him his account slip and he did say that he had 100mil in one of his accounts.
Found the article:
http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/9630673/floyd-mayweather-last-great-prizefighter-espn-magazine
roy whooping guys like julio gonzales at 175 is the equivalent of floyd fighting marg at 147.
which floyd never had the balls to do.
Actually Arum said he did.
And how is the choice to leave TR, make the same amount of money and win the lineal title a duck?? Then a fight that would make him the cash cow of boxing. Absolute nonsense! Do you HONESTLY think that Arum would've allowed him to fight Margarito without signing an extension with TR?? History shows that Floyd leaving TR and not fighting Margarito for 8 mil was the 100% move. Only haters say different.
lol floyd gets rocked by bum ass maidana. imagine how quickly pac would destroy him lol. keep ducking fraud
Yeah and Pac got virtually KO'd by a jab from a nobody, so what's your point again?
Brook duckin and dodging once again
Porter is too dangerous for Floyd and he knows it. If Maidana could wipe the floor with him than just imagine what Porter would do
Guaranteed Floyd fights him before Pac does! Roach doesn't let Pac anywhere near the ring with Porter after having to stop sparring on numerous occasions cuz Porter was handling dat azz!
No way. Cotto is on the best of the best PED and it's clear.
Figured I'd respond in the manner that OP wanted :rolleyes:
Not what I wanted at all. Like I said, I wanted to know why there was no accusations for Cotto like there is for others in similar situations. Just for the record, I don't think he is on PED's either!
And pac's own trainer also said manny will knock Floyd out so I guess u'll believe this one too right? lol!
One is speculating on an a future event, that HASN'T HAPPENED. The other is looking back on past event, that HAS HAPPENED! I know u are trolling, so I won't even bother asking if u know the difference. Not to mention, why on earth would you NOT believe Roach when he says something negative about his own fighter It's not in either of their interests, yet saying that he would KO Floyd clearly is. Care to guess which one human nature says he would be more apt to lie about?? Never mind, I forgot, your trolling so I already know ur answer.
Pac is like Jet Li in the movie "Unleashed". He will fight a tiger if Arum tells him to. Floyd on the other hand realizes his drawing power is slipping and is running out of opponents that will help him bring in big #'s.
Why do people keep perpetuating this myth. If he was that fierce, he wouldn't be worried about "if Arum tell him to". Always a friggen excuse for Pac not doing what he should right? Last I checked, Arum works for Pac, not the other way around. If he is the fighter u people claim, he would fight whoever, whether Arum tells him to or not.
Absolute nonsense! Should Floyd say "Fighting in American halls is for Americans"? He's very concerned about his fights being on Mexican Holidays, but not concerned at all about where(on American soil) he would be fighting those fight.
You can't bring that up anymore, because Floyd didn't fight Canelo at a full 154 after saying he never does catchweights to DISS and belittle Pacman.
Do you guys see anyone running around saying that Floyd will fight a lion or blaming others for him not fighting certain fighters? No they call him a duck and a coward. But when it's Manny throwing in catchweights, ducking fighters(relevant Shane, relevant Margarito, Floyd, Cotto at 152) all that is disregarded.
I never heard Pacman belittle Floyd or discredit him, stop being insecure, your comment shows BIAS.
What does that have to do with anything? Almost every comment you make about Floyd shows BIAS so u aren't anyone to talk.
you have no shame, bringing up that? So Cotto was shot to sh1t when Floyd fights him but because he fought him at 154 it means he is fresh, riiigggght.
He was shot to sh1t, yet there are so many running around saying that Cotto would DESTROY him now, huh? If Cotto was so shot to sh1t, why didn't Pac fight him at 152? They were the ones pursuing him, not the other way around.
Don't take a personal, manny's just doing his job. How can he fight anyone if he's under contract with arum? He works for arum, it's the other way around buddy.
Manny doing his job huh? That's the excuse? Funny, if he works for Arum, then why is it that Mikey is able to turn down fights? What about Gamboa? Chavez Jr. anyone? So u tell me who works for who? And, if u want to go that route, even if Pac does work for Arum, I guess he loves being a slave, because he signed up with him again for another 2 year when all Arum had to offer him were fights like Algieri. If Floyd had been under Arum and done that, you guys would be screaming about him ducking the whole GB roster. Pac does it and it's "he would fight a lion Arum told him to". Like I said, never reality, always an excuse for Pac.
The boxing world will watch and love this fight no one is saying we don't want it to happen just saying theres going to be a lot of stupid arguements about the outcome no matter who comes out on top.. and RJJ clearly let us know who has been avoiding the fight altogether ..The one and only Duck Weather jr aka TheRichCoward
And Pac's own trainer and ex- strength coach said the direct opposite, so I wonder who would know better?
Im just happy watching Floyd come up with all his lame asss excuses not to fight Manny!
You mean lame asss excuses like these? They should sound kind familiar especially to someone with the screen id of PAC-BOY!
Fear of needles
Need time to build a stadium
Need 30 days
Need 24 days
Blood tests weaken him
Split has to be 50/50, even though Floyd said he would take the smaller purse
May 5th fight will be reserved for Mayweather/JMM II fight
**(Pac's sentence pushed)**
Haymon says May 5th too soon for cut to heal.
Schaefer doesn't know who to call to concerning fighting Pac (yet Pac named Arum and Koncz multiple times).
He has an election coming up.
He agrees to OSDT all the way up to the fight(disputed by Haymon).
He is wants to run for president in the future and fighting Pac would not be good press because of the disrespectful things Pac says.
Need more time to promote the fight.
Schaefer isn't sure why Arum keeps calling him, so Schaefer won't return call.
Pac must first guarentee his purse.
Pac is fighting Morales so we go with our 4-opponents-list.
Fighting Pac is a different ball game. We need more time to prepare.
May 5th is only for Mexicans.
Need more time to promote.
Pac can't demand OSTD.
Moneyteam needs investors for a fight this magnitude.
Not a very fair assessment when he was also worst Oscar the world had ever seen. If the Oscar 5 hat fought Whittaker were there that night, would he say the same? I doubt it.
