I do.
Maybe I'm alone in that, though.
LOL. But nah, I know what Mayweather means, it's not "cool" to take punishment. But it is "cool" to take risks during the fight to try to dish out as much punishment as possible on your opponent.
IMO.
That said, Mayorga letting Forrest hit him was badass.Last edited by CrackYourJaw; 12-10-2009, 06:37 PM.Comment

most of those fights involve the least amount of skill.its obvious that you just like to watch people get hit you would be better off watchin ****** brawls and **** like thatOf all the fights I've ever seen, the classics are the ones where guys dish out and take punishment and PERSEVERE through it.
They take it to the very edge of life and death and come out on the other side.
Some aren't so lucky. But even they are immortalized by the display of courage and valor in battle.
For Mayweather to say that makes me question his heart. He chose boxing yet he doesn't wanna take punishment???
Pssh..
Watching guys fight in brutal fights at the top level is the only thing thats ever got me out of my seat and compelled me to yell. Its the only thing thats ever made me even want to box in the first place.
Taking punishment for punishment sake is ******, but to do it in a classic battle against another ATG is ***ing magic.
Thats what legends are made of.Comment

not even. the best ****** fights usually involve 1 person getting KTFO real fast....
he can always become a fan of UFC tho. plenty of room over there. this here is called "boxing," not "brawling."Comment

I'd like to give you the beating of your life, then lets see how cool it is to take punishment.
The guys that take punishment do so because they have no choice. They can't do what Mayweather does and be effective.
Gatti tried to box, early in his career and later with McGirt but he isn't great at it so he reverts to brawling. Gatti would've loved to be Mayweather if he could.Comment

watch henry cooper vs ali. that was ali in his prime. he took punishment
I know.
But to say "taking punishment ain't cool" is bull****. Imagine if Williams/Martinez fought safety first?
We wouldn't be talking about it now.
Besides, at the highest level, taking punishment is inevitable. Guys are too good at the top to avoid their punches.
that is indicative of fraudulent jr.'s opposition. ive been saying this countless times, fraud jr. has not beaten a truly great opponent yet.Comment
