George Foreman: "Mayweather is a Nobody, Chicken"

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

I doubt Floyd cares what Foreman(who's been retired) thinks. He doesn't have to answer to anybody. And Hopkins didn't say he disliked Floyd. He's not gonna say too many nice things about him when he's cool with Oscar.

Can you IMAGINE if if was Floyd who made that comment that Hopkins did?

i wonder what Oscar has to say.

Former two-time heavyweight champion George Foreman was recently interviewed by The Star and was far from kind to WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. I sense a pattern among the veterans of the sport who dislike Floyd, and I believe Mayweather's comments about being the best fighter in the history of boxing have turned the veterans of the game against him.

But totally ignore the combubox numbers in the first Castillo fight, right?:*******:

get over it, so floyd may have lost a close fight against castillo, he answered any doubts that he is the better fighter in the second fight.

So you're saying a fighter can't improve his punching power?

Because you can change oe affect something doesn't make it a skill.

I can pound chicken breasts for the next two months and up my poundage, and gain 8 pounds of muscle.

Is size a skill?

When people talk about Pep or Whitaker being the most 'killed" fighters of all time, they clearly aren't talking about their power.

Also, you often see the "power vs skills" matchup discussed.

Yeah Foreman hasnt liked Floyd for a while though, if you watch the Chavez fight his commentating is so biased its almost funny.

Everybody would be losing their mind lol.

Or totally ignore that boxing matches are scored round by round, so if Castillo lands 50 punches in round 12, it doesn't effect what happened in rounds 1-11.

I disagree with most aspects of what George is saying but he may have a point about the judges falling for flashy shots.. The public certainly will..

Also, you often see the "power vs skills" matchup discussed.

The way I see it, for example, fighters like Pep improve their punching speed by practicing on a speed bag. Fighters like Foreman would improve their power by practicing on the heavy bag. The meaning of skill is something that can be improved... I don't see how one is "skill" and the other is not.

i think foreman is jealous
he is entitled to his opinion like everyone else
if thats how he feels then thats on him
i do think he sounded ****** during the interview
his jealousy and biased beliefs showed

Look at the punchstat numbers round by round. If that is the only thing you look at, Castillo won hands down.
