Mayweather and the 5 Bums

[Welter_Skelter]

Kostya Tszyu is great fighter and I respect him but a PBF he would have never beat. (SADLY) Zab was F'ing him up Tszyu untill he got KTFO and as we all know PBF ain't no damn ZAB. I'll hit u off with the outcome PBF U.D Over Tszyu. With Tszyu Winning 3-4 Rounds.

That is funny.. becasue Zab was able to "**** up" KT for all of 2 minutes.. and 4 minutes later was on ***** street..

Zab was able to "**** up" FM for 4 rounds and even knocked him down..

You really should read what you type before you hit the "send" button..

Listen ****wit you are putting words in my mouth.
I HAVE SAID that there are great fights coming up.
BUT IN RECENT HISTORY the majority of fights have been ****ing garbage with old men hanging on and "Champs" cherry picking fighters.
We are in a little bit of a resurgence right now which is good and if it carry's on like that even better.
Pavlik has just fought 2 very tough opponents and so I was crediting him for not continuing to feast on bums.
But you cannot deny that in recent history we have been fed some serious **** and top fighters have avoided each other no matter who was to blame.
There is a simple Recipe for Boxing to be successful and that is to have the top fighters fighting each other on a REGULAR basis.
That isn't pessimistic I am Optimistic that the sport continues in this fashion.
But who wants to see Trinidad Vs RJJ?
Or Holyfield Vs Anybody?
Or Mcbride Vs Golota?
Or Valuev Vs Some obscure Canadian
Or John Ruiz vs Anyone??
ETC ETC ETC

Probably the fans who stick by their guy regardless. Why wouldn't a Roy Jones fan like to see him fight in the seniors league?

I think you do have a selective memory though.

I'll bet you think Hatton vs. Castillo was ****, even though it was between The Ring champion and the #1 ranked fighter at 140. How was Hatton supposed to predict that Castillo was so shot?

Marquez vs. Vazquez have been two stellar fights.

Mayweather had signed to fight Judah before Judah lost to Baldomir, which would have been a good fight, but I'm sure that you are someone who subscribes that Mayweather should be able to predict that Judah would lose his mind and lose to Baldomir.

I'm sure you frown upon Calzaghe vs. Lacy, because Lacy was overrated. However, I am sure that you didn't know what was going to happen when Calzaghe fought Lacy.

If you'd stop looking for the negative in every situation, you would probably be a lot happier, and this is coming from someone who lives their life expecting disappointment. It is something that I found someone who I think is too pessimistic.

Roger Mayweather already beat Mr. Tszyu , Floyd is better then Roger, Roger beat him easier than HAtton did, Roger is Floyds Trainer,Hatton has short end of the stick. Close thread.

Listen you are pointing out one top match up in Calzaghe Vs Lacy.
Joe whooped him good style after Lacy had been very impressive so this fight adhered to the way boxing should be because Lacy was number 1 contender at the time.

As for Castillo being number 1 contender at 140 that is absolute ****ing nonsense based on his dire performance against ngoudj(who).

I dare say even Junior Witter deserved more of a chance.

But as usual boxing politics and promoters get in the way.

Do you honestly think Castillo was the biggest challenge at 140?

I'm not very deep on any fighter's career at 140.

I've seen Witter once (against Judah), not impressed at all, but I'm sure he has gotten a ton better, because he looked terrible.

Malignaggi is very good technically, but he couldn't knock Vivian Harris out if he caught him flush on the chin, and that's saying something.

Harris is wild and doesn't have a very good chin.

Castillo was not the top performer at 140, because he had only fought there once or twice, but he was very good at 135, so The Ring figured that he would be a top challenger at 140.

That makes sense to me at least.

Good post Wiley.

The main reason why people cant stand Mayweather is because he sat on his self proclaimed "p4p" throne for like 3 years. 3 years of fighting bums as the best p4p fighter. If he wasn't #1, he could of fought the same people and their wouldn't of been a backlash. But because of his position, fans wanted him to fight the best.

He was getting payed one of the best...so he should of fought the best. That simple ladies and gentleman.;

[eazy_mas]

good post. i totally agree with you...

yeah, I notice many fighter fight on a a single belt for long time. Imagine Mayweather dropped the IBF and went for the WBC.
Cotto is a WBO person.

Everytime I know more about Mayweather I think he is a different breed of fight that even the great WW-era would find him tough to beat like Duran, Lenorad and Hearns.

Because Mayweather is not only physically, I notice he is well aware of everything happen around him in the ring and out. He sees thing differently than other fighters or even people in general. He sense everything around and his ablitiy to think clearly even in later round is amazing.

I respect Mayweather because I trained abit of boxing and I know it hard to think when you loss stamina, hurt or stunt.

BECAUSE BOXING HAS BEEN DYING ON ITS ARSE.
Mainly due to Champs not fighting the best competition.
Also the Americans have nobody else as their face of boxing.
No Heavy weight Champ either.
Who is left ??
Pavlik
Hopkins
Mayweather.

Pavlik has made a good start let's hope he keeps it up by fighting legitimate contenders.

Excellent response. Agreed...........

[sonofisis]

Excellent response. Agreed...........

One win over a questionable Jermain Taylor does nothing for Pavlik as far as replacing Hopkins or Floyd as the face of American boxing. He hasn't accomplished anything..

I'm sorry you're wrong about this. Tszyu definitely beat uncle Roger.
