    Its pretty common.

    .
    Duran and Mosley absolutely did not jump up to ww in one fight. That's a fact.

      It was not a cautious performance by Mayweather. If you watched it twice that just means you know nothing about boxing.

        It's much less deep than that. Mayweather fights don't have much rewatch value to me.

        I'm generally not into defensive US fighters who fight all their fights in the US with a US referee, with Hopkins being an exception.

          Floyd runs through text book orthodox styles. Gatti, JMM, Canelo... lambs to the slaughter.

Yet that didn't matter to Floyd as he didn't even make the weight. He weighted 146lbs. So you got a guy who came in bigger against an untested guy at 144lbs. Marquez had hip fat... There was zero surprise that he was going to win...

            At the point of Marquez facing Pac at 147lbs, he was SHREDDED. Whatever it took to get that, but at least you know now that he was ready for that weight class. I'm not saying a 147lbs shredded Marquez would have beat Floyd either, but it would of been a hella lot more impressive.

            Floyd basically did what Ryan Garcia did to Haney, except hopefully without the roids.
            Nailed it but froid was most likely on steroids. Also Hilarious considering how his fans say "he a smol welterwait doe" and he couldn't even make the catch weight

              No one accused Paul Malignaggi of cherry picking Adrian Broner.
              Because they accused broner of cherrypicking Paulie lmfao idiot

                Everybody has a price. Boxing has always been very corrupt. They just disguised it better back then.

                  Right proves my point he didn't jump up to fight the guy at 147 which was Oscar

                  What about Duran

                  You must be another boxrec boy

                    As I said before, you know nothing about boxing.

                      That's exactly my point - it's a cherrypick if its a fighter you don't like.

                      Floyd was the cherrypicker for fighting a guy moving up two weight classes.

                      but then Broner was the cherrypciker moving up two weight classes to fight Malignaggi.

                      Zero logic, just emotions.
                      What the fvkc are you on about?

                      Broner was a big boy who had missed weight so he moved up and right away got a shot at the weakest beatable champ

                      Froid was a proven talent who picked a smaller beatable opponent as well as not even making weight. Moron


                      So don't got anything to say paulf ??
