Never A Fan Of Floyd, But…

Mayweather was always one of the more disciplined boxers in terms of both his training and his fighting. He was known for his meticulous preparation and his ability to stick to a game plan in the ring. This discipline served him well throughout his career, as he racked up an impressive 50-0 record (or 49-0 if you believe the argument that the crossover fight should not be counted in the official records). Hopkins and GGG are even more disciplined than Mayweather, and they have both enjoyed tremendous success in the boxing world. Duran and Fury are less disciplined than the other three, but they are both even more talented. This talent has allowed them to overcome their lack of discipline and achieve great things in the sport of boxing. Other sports see this as well. The focus and preparation of recent athletes like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and the late Kobe Bryant is beyond inspiring. Yet others have little life skills in discipline but get by on their tremendous natural born talents. The late Diego Maradona was such an athlete.Comment

Someone mentions Canelo and your ears turn into pistol grips, back go those special made garage door teeth of yours, and Vaseline starts squirting out of you nose and you call me g@y? Did you put on your pink leotards and matching lipstick before jerking it to your favorite sweaty Canelo poster today? Infatuated pha66ot.Comment

No doubt Floyd had advantages most don’t — i.e. he started extremely early and had great tutelage. But Mayweather could’ve strayed from his path to greatness very easily. It’s a very long, hard road to the top. It’s monotonous, time-consuming, boring and painful. And while Floyd may not be well-educated in an academic sense, he’s no dope. He took his gifts, worked like a man possessed and made some shrewd moves to become, according to Forbes, the sixth highest earning athlete of all time.
Im fascinated by these types of things because I've bred and raised performance animals my whole life and know first-hand how even when everything is perfect, you still get a duffer, and when all odds are against them, greatness rises up in spite of everything, I look at great individuals whether man or beast as being Gods prototypes, they are special beings.Comment

I was watching a few videos dedicated to Mayweather on YouTube yesterday — some about his training, some about his fights — and I came away with a new appreciation. It stands to reason that anyone at the top of their game works like an animal, but it’s another thing to see it broken down. Floyd worked extremely hard, possibly harder than any of his contemporaries. Inspirational, really. Hard to hate on a guy that earned every bit of his success.
I first realized Floyd's greatness watching him in slo mo avoid a shot and set the counter up. It showed how in the milliseconds of a reaction Floyd stayed the technical points to success... I was impressed. I think at 130 he was on a relatively short list.Comment

All the fighter nowadays are social media fighters, and have their daddy speak for them. Its pathetic.
This guy devin haney is the worst. Him and his daddy whoring himself out in all these videos.
they all want one big money fight, then a cash out
Theres no more guts and glory in boxing. Its over with. At least for americsn fighters.
Guts and glory can only come with fan support and fans need to be able to access fights and meet the fighters so they can decide who is a f a g, a b um, the best thing since sliced bread... and everything in between..

Well after Hatton it was cherrypicking the easiest fights possible. A who's who list of slow, short, short armed come forward fighters. Pushing himself was when he threw in a shopworn fighter with a nameLast edited by djtmal; 11-28-2022, 06:34 PM.Comment
