When a guy barely throws punches and seems to go into every boxing match as survival mode, its lame. Floyd fights as if he is always fighting against a lion in that ring, and he goes so defensive he forgets that the fans love to see offense.
Real boxing fans, not just people who want to see a gladiator arena battle. Real fans respect his boxing. Its the -science- side of boxing. You obviously aren't a fan of the "science" behind boxing. There's nothing wrong with that but dont diss the guy because he uses the "sweet science" and doesn't just brawl.

The man is the best because he trains harder than anyone I have ever seen. The man is a tactical prodigy. You dont develope a boxing intellect vastly superior to all those who are in the game today by half assing.

Its disgusting, Floyd only has a fan base for one reason and I'm not going to say why because I know it will be an instant ban.

Corrales was weight drained plus all the people he ko'd were brawlers not boxers. But you wouldn't know what the difference is between a brawler and a boxer. Let me explain, boxers use their jabs to win fights similar to what Taylor does. And when he ko'd people who had their hands at their waist, that is so impressive. And he was still boring even before he got the KO'S.
O we gonna make excuses for Corrales now? There must be anotha problem to get knocked down 6 times.
O so Floyd's not a "boxer" because he doesn't use his jab?
Stop crying...ur boy Cotto lost to a bum

Originally posted by ACHlLLES View PostShut up with that real boxing fan crap, you're not a real boxing fan. You root against Manny Pacquiao as if he is the devil. A man who shows respect to every fighter he has ever fought. A man who gets attacked on here because he doesn't share the same skin color or ethnic background as some of the racist ****s on here.

Floyd has a large fan base because he puts on a "gangsta" persona. He acts like a rapper so people love him and it doesn't hurt that he is undefeated. Personally, I rather not hear him talk but I absolutely love his boxing style. Im a fan of technical boxing, first and foremost.
I am one of the few members here who aren't biased towards any one boxer. I just tell it like it is.
