      If you are going to tell them not to get their panties in a bunch about liking him, shouldn't you not get your panties in a bunch about them liking him?
      Difference is, i point out facts. According to some posters here, MMA and WWE are for people who dont appreciate skill. Everytime a boxer is put down for a boring, technical performance, some people come out and say, "well go watch mma or wwe if you dont like the sweet science" NOW all of a sudden, certain Floydboyz are all giddy about it, just because Floyd is participating in it. When i post the truth, they try to turn the tables and call me a hater.

          He posted that Ibragimov was the smaller man and Baldomir was the bigger man in the respective fights.

          I can't think of anything not factual about that claim, can you?

            I understand. The comparison between Floyd and Wlad is the way both approached the fight. OVERLY cautious. Nothing more, nothing less. Both fighters had lesser opponents in front of them, and chose to do "just enough" to win. Some people are just too sensitive.

              That's true... he went out of his way to smash a comparison that meant very little.

              You went out of your way to call out Floyd fans for bashing MMA, and liking WWE now that he is on. Something that means extremely little in the grand scheme of things.

                I created that thread to point out the hypocrisy of certain fans. Thats all.

                  I see a similarity of sensitivity, but that is just me.

                  I just don't see you miss very many chances to jump on Floyd or his fans (no ****).

                    1st off Floyd is the much more accomplished fighter and Wlad hasnt beaten half the top fighters that Floyd has. There styles are totally different and Floyd has never been beat, let alone KO.

                    Then I keep hearing everyone compare the Sultan fight to the Baldy fight. Anyone who does that doesnt have a brain. Im a Floyd fan and even I admit that the Baldy fight was super boring but there was a huge difference between that fight in Wlad's fight and thats the size difference. I never thought Floyd shouldve been ripped for the Baldy fight because it was just Floyd's 3rd fight at the weight and the other 2 were against small guys. Floyd clearly was not a real WW at the time. He was much closer to 140 while Baldy was much closer to a 154 pounder and moved up right after that fight. It was Floyd's 4th weight class and basically his 5th if you go by how big Baldy was.

                    If you go back and rewatch that fight then you will see that Floyd looks like a little boy while Baldy is super huge. The fight night weigh-in had Floyd listed at 146 and Baldy listed at 166. Thats 20 literal pounds bigger and you could easily tell that he was even naturally more bigger then that. Wlad on the other hand was even bigger to Sultan then Baldy was to Floyd. Thats the difference. Atleast Floyd was fighting a much bigger & stronger man. Wlad has all the advantages and still is scared to do anything. Name 1 fight where you saw Floyd fight a smaller guy and not go toe to toe? Floyd never fights smaller guys but even the rare fight against a guy his size he is super aggressive and walks guys down. Zab is a lefty and Floyd walked him down all night while Zab is natually bigger. Why cant Wlad do that? Sure he walked Sultan down but its all jabs.

                    Anyone who cant see the huge difference in size is blind. That totally makes those 2 fights apples & oranges. The bad part is that Wlad is always like that, atleast since Sanders stopped him. I told everyone this after the Brewer fight. Its funny how the HBO guys and fans on here were bragging on him then but dissing him now. It was the same exact fight. The only differnce is that weak chin Brewster basically got woozy after every jab but Sultan didnt. He fought them both the same exact way except Sultan could take the jab. If Brewster could take it then Wlad wouldve never threw the right again
                    hate to break it to you son,,,but sultan is a southpaw with some power whereas baldy is a coventional fighter with no power. mayweather had even less reasons to be as cautious as wlad was. nice try though kid

                      Yeah its a bad comparison. Wlad has 44 knock outs. He actually hits his opponents at some point.
