There is a particular reason why floyd is so important to the sport of boxing

[El Jesus]

I did add something,

Mayweather is not and won't be the last of the "pure boxers".

Quit your crying already.

Manny grabbed the top spot and its making you cats mad.

Its why you felt compelled to dedicate a thread to why Floyd is so important to the sport,

because you cats are realizing the sport goes on without him, and has been much more exciting.

I want you to find one thread where i disrespected manny paquiaos accomplishments or belittled the man and ambassador he is to the sport.

Search through my posting history and pull statements in which i did that. I may argue circumstance, but i would never deny a man his due, i think you want to categorize and generalize me a certain way that makes it easier for you to insult me as a whole, thats fine. I dont think there is any further need to address another word from you.

If Floyd is not needed, why is his name all over the front page along with Pacquiao? It takes two to tango...

did boxing die in 2008 or early this year or is'it going to die in the future without floyd?we actually saw mma fans going crazy lately praisng the good boxing fights because the top mma guys just put aboring one,was that because of floyd?...exactly it takes 2 to tango and floyd is only one man!

right now, manny pacman is carrying the sport on his back and making boxing exciting and bringing in casual fans, i know that, but thats not what this thread is about, at all.

You asked who the hell is there to replace Floyd? I told you he wasn't the savior and explained what he did and what Manny did. I also explained how Mayweather doesn't have much time left in boxing. Only about 2 or 3 fights.

Mayweather had his chance to be that man to replace De La Hoya, but he left in his prime and been out of the sport for about two years. so together with what i explained before Mayweather shouldn't be the man to save the sport. A fighter that wants to save the sport shouldn't leave the sport they should stay and help make others stars even if it at their own expense. Manny can lose now to a fighter and he might make that person the new star. just like De La Hoya made him a bigger star.

There are some certain people on here who you cant really discuss boxing with in general without them throwing or putting you in a group of Mayweather "fans" "how you are mad because pacman is mainstream or taking over" blah blah blah.....You need to get use to them and blank them out of your conversation for your own sanity, I dont know who is more childish them or Floyd mayweather himself..

I dont think mayweather is someone to save the sport by any means, i am just hoping guys like donaire, sergio martinez, and jorge lineares step up big and become stars, because all of the purists in the game are on their way out or retiring.

mayweather is the biggest villain in the sport, but i wouldnt say he is the face of boxing, more or less when i say replacement, i mean who will be the number one pure boxer in the sport

To the threadstarter check out an amateur fight named Lomanchenko, He won a gold at the olympics and this guy if and when he turns pro would shocked the world with the way he fight, He is a throwback fighter from the ukraine..try and check him out on youtube when you get the chance.

And Pacquiao's the other man...

[Pullcounter]

floyd really isn't the savior of boxing... floyd doesn't really want that role. he'd rather be the antagonist.

Neither Winky nor Hopkins is a "complete" boxer like BJ was talking about. Winky is an interesting fighter but was only ever a light-punching hugh guard guy.

True, but Hopkins is.
