Mayweather Vs Pryor

[Zaroku]

Damn, man. I'm really sorry to hear that. RIP to the pup .

Yep... I’m dealing with grief..
this 2020 year seems to bring tragedy on top of tragedy.

Uncles, 2 died, family don’t want me to flip out.

I distract myself with boxing and clowning Pac - A -Maniacs, in slow motion.

I’m thinking of opening a lumpia Uber Eats, and sell weed and good Mexican food.

I’m going back to Cali in feb or March... I might invite true 𝐵𝑜𝓍 phag to buy me a burrito!

I don't like to pick apart fights... like this guy had a bad camp, etc... I also do not think Hatton could do much to Floyd, though I will say he was so poorly managed after he beat Zoo! I mean they taught him to hump, throw a shot hump repeat and rinse, he never showed the swash he had when he beat up Zoo... which was a great performance, a great fight. I also do not think he ever legit had to fight Margarito. I would not hold that particular opponent against him.

Most of the other guys you mention were not his best weight... Floyd to me, and this is a bona fide ****** opinion of mine and nothing more... was great at 135 and below. He was roughed up coming up by guys who were big and strong enough... while he won, it was not dominant. I mean I could see him beating a guy like porter but by the scorecards.

Canelo was young... But kudos to Floyd. If we want to look at a fellow ATG (in my opinion) who was more dominant climbing the latter we have Ward. Ward mixed it up and won convincingly until the first kovalev fight, but he showed he could beat Kovalev in that second fight.

I had a lot more respect for Whitaker as a fighter. Fought better opposition while at their best and slightly better on defense IMO. He took risks and wasn't afraid to lose. Got screwed in the Chavez fight. A Whitaker/Pryor fight would have been more entertaining and Whitaker would have actually gotten in the ring with him, unlike Floyd.

Lol, this time? Not holding my breath! Seriously sorry about Johny's other half. Yeah those monks lol... Having lived in a monastery a while I know how they use that status... I was in NYC not long ago around 33rd and this monk wanted to sell me a piece of shiat trinket, so I thought I was doing him a favor offering him a few bucks, the dude was indignant! I didn't even care about the thing lol.

Agreed 100. I am a big fan of the Sweet Pea. I jokingly say I nicknamed my first son after him lol. In fact the nickname came from Popeye because like Sweet pea, with my boy as an infant/toddler, when you turned around for a new york minute, he was off heading for disaster!

There were two polls if I remember correctly.

Maidana won two. Khan was behind in the third until he begged his twitter followers to go vote.

What grade you in?

- -I'm the kid 2 lower than U who used to bully U outta U lunch $.

Easy $ and good eatin's off campus!

When U were a kid, Mary was dating Joseph. The reason Nelson doesn't tell U to act U age is because he's afraid U will die.

How am I biased if I said before that Pacquiao was at fault as well? I blame both of them, but just feel it's very su****ious that all of a sudden Floyd pulls out this strict drug testing when talks of a Manny Pacquiao fight begin when the only thing Manny was known to take was an anti inflammatory and never brought it up in any earlier fight. It sounded like a way to either avoid or delay the fight to me. And since Floyd signed the contract first, I lean towards the latter, since Manny didn't want the 15 day cutoff initially and Floyd knew that with how opposed to all this testing Manny was at the beginning.

So, in a nutshell, the stricter drug testing with a tougher opponent sounds suspect on Floyd's part and Manny is also to blame for not just signing the contract from the start. That's my view on how this fight went down.

Well, you have said that Floyd waited for the right time to face certain fighters. That he cherrypicked them. But you never tear down Pacquiao for doing the same. That's the bias.

Floyd fought Mosley BEFORE Pac did.

Floyd fought Oscar de la Hoya BEFORE Pac did. And at a healthier weight too.

Floyd fought Hatton BEFORE Pac did.

Floyd asked for stricter drug testing BEFORE Pac started doing it too.

Yet not a peep of criticism from you for Pacquiao. Why?

I bet you think it's a negative thing that Floyd fought McGregor. But if Pac fights him next year you won't say a thing.

No, wrong again. So, one thing at a time. It's good Floyd fought those guys before Pac. I already said Pacquiao could've accepted terms from Floyd sooner and that they were both at fault, but he didn't and Floyd still never beat an ATG in their prime. So it's a positive thing for Floyd's legacy that he fought McGregor? The only reason he came back to fight Conor was because McGregor had no boxing experience and it was an easy win and payday for him. And of course I wouldn't think it was good if Manny fought any MMA guy with no boxing experience or only 1 fight under his belt.

I didn't use the term cherry picked either. I said for whatever reason, even if it wasn't entirely his fault, fights against Mosley, Cotto and Pacquiao didn't happen sooner and that's always gonna hurt his legacy.

How is it going to hurt his legacy if it isn't his fault? You can't force guys into the ring with you if they don't want to fight. If anything it should hurt their legacy not Floyd's.

I don't see the McGregor fight as a negative. Floyd is at the end of a long career and has earned the right to cash in with easy fights and exhibitions if that's what he wants to do. Just like other great fighters before him did.
