Unless mayweather is rusty: Marquez gets a worse beating then gatti..here's why

It depends on your definition of "is" (lol always wanted to say that).

LOL.... I know you see what I am saying.

The term should be There CAN BE a first time for everything

And I would agree... because anything can happen in the future... we are unsure of that.


Saying There IS a first time for everything.. is basically predicting the future, and saying that it WILL happen... even though it might not.

that was a 10-10 round

Lets say this:

Gamboa will lose.... there IS a first time for everything.


and Lets say (hypothetical) Gamboa retires undefeated..... (wont happen .. but...)

Was this: Gamboa will lose.... there IS a first time for everything.

True?

[The Gambler1981]

Anything can happen would make more sense... because saying There is a first time for everything, is saying exactly that.

Eventually it WILL happen... even though it might not?

I don't look "there is a first time for everything", the same as you do, I just look at is as a saying that is used to explain unexpected outcomes (or if you think some kind unexpected outcome is going to happean).

Also just because somethign has never happeaned in the past does not mean it will be that way in the future.

Whatever we are arguing semantics now, our views are not that different.

If Mayweather is gonna Gatti JMM, then PBF fans might want to start worrying that Floyd's hands don't get brittle and break or something from landing so many punches.

Floyd could hit Gatti all night blindfolded and not get hit back. JMM figures to land some punches, which Floyd won't like... thus he probably won't go into Gatti mode.

Plus, ring rust. This is a "tune-up" for Money. PBF might be in exhibition mode... do just enough to win. Save the rest for Pac, the biggest payday out there which obviously is why he came back.

War Marquez.

Im just going to repeat this, because it's the most solid explanation.


There is a difference between

"There CAN BE a first time for everything"

and

"There IS a first time for everything"


The first one is saying, there is a possibility, that in the future... ANYTHING, can happen.


The second one is saying, that in the future.. something specifically WILL, happen.

Basically you just look at the statement, and assume it's meaning.

I broke down the actual linguistics of the phrase, and found it faulty.



The word IS... should be replaced with CAN BE.

Then, you are saying there is a possibility of anything... instead of saying something WILL indeed happen.

[Cleto_Reyes]

Saying "There is a first time for everything" just simply means it could happen not that its going to

Well to me figures of speach all have flaws when you really break them down. There can be a first time fore everything works also, in fact you are probably right that it actually ends up fitting better, but to me the statement works as is aslong as the person that says it realizes that it is not a sure thing but only a possibility, it really depends on what the person is trying to say.
