Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Will Not Beat Mosley, Says Ariza

[Sugar Q]

lets commend floyd for what he should have been doing years ago, bravo!what gets to me is that you floydettes think he actually wanted to fight mosley.

I know for a fact he came back to fight Manny and Mosley. Why do you think he came back since you seem to know it all? I would give Manny mad props if he fought Shane but why can't *******s do the same? No one would be saying Shane is old if Pacroid fought him.

HAHAH True man...!

They a bunch of revisionist historians, fans of the day hated Pea almost as much as they hate Floyd. They hated Ray Leonard, they hated Roy Jones, all of them were called runners, pretty boys, wont trade punches, wont stand toe to toe. Its the same crap repeated.

They hate undefeated pure boxers, thats what it is, undefeated pure boxers.

their is a difference between hardcore boxing fans that appreciate every aspect of the sport to a casual fan who buys it for excitement. Floyd had a perfect opportunity to entertain in his last fight because marquez was overmatched yet he was overly defensive. Like he said he is an entertainer then entertain by giving the payers their moneys worth.

i was entertained by how he effortlessly beat him up. are u saying jmm isnt in the class of pbf? cus didnt he beat manny? isnt he regarded as one of the top in the junior ww division?

Thanks, that's how Fraud win fights... by out cheating them - overweight, elbow, hug, push... LOL

They would be saying thats a great fight and Pac only takes tough challenges unlike floyd.

his opponents fanbase

yeah ok...then tell me why Marquez sold 100K PPV in his PPV with Casamayor?

Where was his FAN BASE then?

You keep owning yourself

[TRAV1S]

Would have been a different fight at 135
Floyd takes this easily.

[fcastro1]

wait so...who is buying Mayeathers PPV's?

and if the CASUAL FAN doesnt like his style....why has he sold more PPV's since 2005 than ANY FIGHTER!!!

I'll wait.....

his persona, you should follow the debate a few pages back. im saying pac is bringing boxing back the right way with excitement. floyd talks **** but doesn't deliver.

[Cash Cow]

he could have taken marquez out easy. He could have given the fans something to remember but his opinion is self preservation and him first before fans, basicly he dont give a ***.

Why didnt Manny take Marquez out easily? He fought him for 24 rounds and knocked him down 4 times....

isnt Pac faster, more skilled & STRONGER than Mayweather?

There's one style that's always been effective.. it's called action.. and seconded by fighting the best...there's a reason why the names that are so tied in with boxing were real attractions.. you had tyson, who earned 20mill plus for couple rnds.. but ko'd everyone in his path.. well other than douglas.. ha ha.. plus at that time HW division was supreme.. then you had de la hoya.. a pretty boy that would take your girl and KNOCK YOU THE **** OUT.. fought the best champions.. then manny.. who's not fought the best.. but he's fought elite fighters... like marquez at a level playing field, and what he did to hatton and dlh has to impress a lot more than dancing around and countering all night... landing left hooks all night vs hatton... who's only other fight at 47 was a loss to collazo.. also jcc.. he was just an artist.. he fought greats and beat them convincingly.. well except for pernell.. mayweather is a great boxer.. reason why i dont like him is cause he claims to deliver fihgts of the yr.. when in reality they're nothing but glorified sparrin sessions.. vs clearly overmatched/outclassed opponents.. this will be a true test.. mosley is a lot smarter than anyone he's faced.. but yet i think it will still be boring.

real boxing fan's appreciate the less boring boxing styles displayed by mayrunner, calderon, dirrell, ward.. i know i like some.. but you can't say to casual fans, which is what draws the big PPV numbers would look at one of these fights and say.. 'MAN THAT WAS GREAT!'.. didnt think so..

marquez vs vasquez 1-3 was a real dream fight for boxing and brawler fans.. showed skills, wills, guts, and furious exchanges.. sucks that a 4th one is happening.. cant see a real winner in that.. but those are the peole that deserve the pile of cash..

If you ask a 1000 different people what they prefer you would get multiple answers. It all comes down to what you prefer. Whitaker's name is associated with boxing and defense. If every fighter had the same style then boxing really would be boring. I liked watching the Gatti/Ward slug matches but did I really see a high level of skill or did I see who was going to last the beating the longest. Neither of those fighter's in their prime would have done that **** to Mayweather because he would have boxed their ass off with ease. Speaking of DLH, didn't he choke in most of his big matches against the true top of the crop besides a juiced up Vargas and over the hill Chavez. Did he convincigly beat Whitaker who was past his prime, Mosely, Trinidad, and a gift against Felix Strum who jabbed he **** out of him all night. You mentioned Adre Ward, his defensive style led him to a one sided beating of a slugger in Kessler. Why would Ward play into Kessler's hand when he could do basically what he wanted to and box rings around Kessler and Miranda. Smart fighters stick to what works for them and not what's going to make a crowd happy because when its all said and done, the crowd won't be the one's spending 2 weeks in a hospital trying to recover.
